I saw this as I was doing a bit of editing above.
you are doctrinaire TD....DOCTRINAIRE.
if you follow all those by marxist principle you will be lost. if you latch onto a book by James called Facing reality 1953 and preamble to the book called the the Johnson Forrest tendency James tries to make amends for his identification with the Bolsheviks against the popular Russian revolution. he castigates the bureaucracy, identifies it and the party as the counter revolution, admits that his Marxism was wrong and that the failure of the advance socialist party, to make a successful revolution laying the ground for its own demise proves he was indeed wrong.
the question was why..how were they so wrong about the party itself that had turned a revolutionary situation into another more vast and more comprehensive dictatorship ::confused::
the idea is in the structure of the party itself and the principle of self interest that imbues not only humans but social organizational structures that humanity creates. hence emergent bureaucracy is the counter revolution inherent in the revolution, represented by the party itself, the advanced socialist party that prepares the revolution... which is not a producer of the wealth by which it lives...and in charge of revolutionary society, invested with the political power the party will bureaucratize itself in full expansion of its power and size but unable to feed itself must force the people to feed it.
the party is supposed to do the opposite..that is to encourage democracy, foster it where it breaks out build up and develop the peoples ability to run their nation without government as we have cone to know it, to build popular organization structures that would allow for popular control with no need of official government because of the very inherent danger of government bureau developing and usurping the popular power. the problem with that is that that is what broke out in 1917. the people created a perfect, spontaneous popular democracy that went about creating popular ways of meeting all their social needs, in fully functional connections between suburb, city and hinterland to secure the means of life for the people..all perfectly democratic, popular and immediate..elections direct and short term with the power or immediate recall.
that is what the Bolsheviks smashed, and established their dictatorial communist party dictatorship. and what James did with his Facing Reality was to come right back, full circle to the spontaneous revolutionary democracy of the people, that they created with their revolution. James proposed that there is no need for a revolutionary party to prepare any dam revolution..the party is now extraneous to the revolutionary process. they people do not need any dam party..they can create a revolution as they go and the structures they create to meet their needs as hey go are the new socialist forms of democracy they create in the crucible of the revolution to meet their needs, forms that they hone and streamline as they go ...
he was right..is right but no original. he had committed a sin that James and he was correcting himself. the people are prepared by routine social reality to carry out a revolution. the school is the work place and the teacher is the relationship in the workplace between the owners and the workers. literacy and modern means of communications is the lifeblood of society bringing people together over vast distances making action between for all manner of purposes easier and easier.
but what James also does is to hit theory, doctrine for a loop. what we believed one day is only so true., dated and will be obsolete in time, sooner or later. man is never fully right about anything and cannot be so right about anything and everything he works out. man cannot know all that is involved in any issue and so is compelled to conclude knowing that he is wrong to an extent, act and observe to see where he was wrong correct himself and go on again in repeat of that process. therefore we now all things are provisional, ever changing and expanding and so no reality is set in stone. all will change in time and man never fully knows anything. but man must be ready for change in an ever changing reality beyond his ability. all is provisional and his mind must be available in a provisional frame and shape. we must bring ourselves into line with provisional reality so that we may be able to grasp greater truth by being in such a frame, the nature of such a frame in itself...then the content of that provisional truth and what it is going on to give rise to.. and what it actually gives rise to in time
this is what we actually live but our minds on not in sync with it because we have evolved mechanistic modes of thought that are not in sync with how things really are.
I say the following to eliminate adherence to doctrine which is oxymoron. the only possible viable doctrine for humanity is the every changing nature of life itself. if we hold change as doctrine then such doctrine cannot be wrong for it is change itself..teaches us to be provisionally minded and in sync with natural developments with ourselves as part of it all.
what the Marxist thought back in the day cannot possibly be wholly valid still. the process of live has led to much discovery not to mention human advance in time that has made many changes that the old Marxists never knew or thought about., rendering old doctrine invalid, useless and imprisoning if persisted with.
hat I do now is still be imbued with as much of the historical development of Marxism as ever but I know the nature of parties of the counter revolution its shape and form and how to avoid it. and the major way is to prepare for spontaneous social revolution as James predicted back in 1953. hey have been happening all the time since. Occupy was the last major eruption which Obama was pitiless against. Obama smashed Occupy. but they were for real..the greatest example of what is to come so far..OCCUPY.
your idea of Business and Maxism is no longer valid. it is the social form that dominates society that matter..the central contradiction that drives society. if its capitalism they we all become capitalist until it fails. when ti fails it has already created the means of its own demise that will rise in replacement of it. and given that capitalism is an exploitative system that creates a social hostility in its relations so will the process of its demise be hostile to the extreme..so hostile in fact and given the power that humanity has already evolved that is every likelihood that we will not survive this revolutionary period we have arrived at, entered into.
but if the democracy evolved out of capitalism and not a Brave New World..then the world becomes ordered by that democracy and we all in time become democratic. and that democracy is a response by the people to the failure of capitalism and the dire potential that emerges from that failure and breakdown...a Brave New World. any business in a democratic cannot have the kegs to re-establish a capitalism that would dominate society again. they very technological advance that has already taken place precludes any such development in a popular democracy as I have described. the whole nature of work changes and he people can only be maintained by general ownership of the means of production and the constant introduction of new technology that would eliminate human factory labour soon enough. so where would private business fit in ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::
there are many specialized areas where that was bound to happen because it would be the most efficient way to serve those needs. by need they would be small to medium business that would have a cycle that technological advance would make obsolete again, in time to be replaced by other ways private business can be used to help carry though development cycles. and the business and development cycles or all kinds including business such as it is then, would become a known thing, part of the provisional frame of thought we would be developing and so no difficulty for humanity of the future to handle
so when I speak of business in the future its determine is not by doctrine of the past but what would he development in the future be like and what forms of culture and general activities would be made possible by the advances we face even now ::confused::
and of course the democracy that is now essential to take humanity forward wold not be the end of social for humanity...just he next step in or social evolution. if we survive this period of exploitative/hostile society, achieve a popular democracy then further social formations would not be hostile for they would not be exploitative. we were wrong in the past when we sought to impose frames on revolutionary society. such frame necessarily would have been somewhat abstract because we do not know all. what I know now is that need is the basis of all action and that the needs of the current day is trump in consideration of the formation needed for life to go on in security, progress and advancement. what humanity has to face on the current day is all that went before to produce the day we are at, the day we are alive and acting. and what is required for all I have listed at that point is what ought to be determine of everything that we do based on the social needs of everyone on that day..guided by all that went before..but only guided
there is no need for revolutionary political parties or any politics of any partisan kind. the people in the politics indirect participation need no parties through which to act alienating their power to the parties as a consequences which is the danger in the mix.
so when I say business TD that is what I meant..what I said above..relative to the changes..not business as an abstract ideal/model which you took apart on a doctrinaire basis. that is not what I had in mind at all. and ownership will be ownership as nice as you can afford..although there would be no rich mans houses as we have currently. I don't see how a rich man could survive rich n such a social dispensation..or how such would produce very rich people
I hope this makes some sense to you. I will edit it another time..prolly tomorrow night.
