“the overall situation is determined not by the intellectuals but ultimately by the working people, by their most advanced section, the proletariat.”

just received the “officially the longest lecture award” for my department🤣
in my defense it was on hegel’s lasting legacy through fichte-schelling-hegel, right + left hegelians; the frankfurt school; the various fields & innovations & of course marx, engels, lenin and mao 🤷🏽

Don’t be gullible. Don’t take anything at face value. Go to the data and study yourself.” -Utsa Patnaik
Brilliant parting words 👏🏽
Patnaik:
The Global Industrial North [OECD + Japan] are completely dependent on the agricultural producing global south for their high consuming living standards. If trade w/ the global South were to cease; the US, Germany, Britain would plummet to late medieval times.
patnaik: you may ask: why do all of these brilliant economists make such idiotic logical mistakes in their poverty figures?
bc they have abandoned philosophy and logic. they are indoctrinated in the world of abstractions. they should stay in pure mathematics and win a nobel.
Oliver Cox:
“…in so far as its scientific validity as a social fact is in question, Marx has nothing whatever to do with it. Marxist hypotheses are `servants, not masters'.

Q: Why is a peasant-based revolution necessary not only for the peasant class but for all the basic and struggling social classes?
JMS: If the peasantry is left out of the revolutionary process, you cannot end the semi colonial and semi feudal system.
“The imperialists and reactionaries taunt the revolutionary movement for not having yet seized state power in the cities after more than 52 years of people’s war. But they obscure the fact that the revolutionary forces are already establishing the revolutionary mass base
“Whatever the manner of death, there is a common denominator. A hero serves the people to his very last breath.”

“There is always a social process antecedent to economic money facades. Demand and supply are real-life processes that involve union busting and Third World Country bombing. Capital accumulation moulds the social conditions for production.”
