Using Das Kapital as a Pillow
Many Marxists in colonized zones had never read Marx, writes Vijay Prashad in this sampling of influential leftists, many from peasant societies, who built theories appropriate to their own context.
{In the colonies, it was the left that had to drive the struggle against colonialism and for the social revolution. This meant that it had to create the basis for social equality, including the advancement of the productive forces.}
As a colony we were slaves to Briton's East Indian company facing unfair trade within their system. Over priced imports and starvation pay for exported products. Today our own serve us inequality measures from within their fake manufactured market system. Where few of us are allowed in and only by certain means. Mostly controlled by employer packages that often face its own corruption depending on manufactured market reflux, and or recessions that only the top benefit from. Independence became an illusion as we became an arm to the same system already in existence. The lack of democracy in the workforce again left us as slaves to the overwhelming use of others abroad to produce cheap labor.
{It was the left that had to use the scarce resources that remained after colonial pillage, amplified by the enthusiasm and commitment of the people, to socialize production through the use of machines and better organization of labor and to socialize wealth to advance the development of education, health, nutrition, and culture.}
We must restore this social benefit, but at a greater understanding using its history to never allow what we're going through today to ever happen again. On a world stage in unity.
{Last year, over 60,000 people went into public places to read the Communist Manifesto on the 172nd anniversary of its publication on Feb. 21, 1848.}
I've read my share of Marx and Engels, Lenin and Trotsky, but the works are vast. The WSWS has a vast amount of material for this knowledge. It's rather astounding how accurate their work is when its compared on history to todays events within economy, workforce, and use of resources. Within a revelation that these can work together like a well tuned machine if society could unite to break the chains holding it back while tweaking it cleverly to fit the needs from one place to another. One can see why our current dominating system works so hard to keep the work of these people demonized. Spreading false negative misinformation about their movements. Intentionally leading the world population within a narrative of a singular rather then the existence of various types of socialism/communism. Our population so well conditioned it can't recognize the type it already exist in or even, many, recognize or comprehend all of the social programs they are engaged in currently. Often used against us they falsely see parts of it as a free market system or private enterprise.
