AUT: state capitalism

Tahir--

M. Djilas  (the New Class)i think is OK dealing with /exposing  with the
political superstructure
(parasiticParty-bureacracy)of state -cap  (ex) Yugoslavia but dealing with
the how the economic basis
was fromed up  as a social/class relation, its capitalist laws of waged
slavery,
value and surplus value,  how it too exploits the working class,
he is somewhat  shallow, far too shallow,  if i remember correctly.

There are many 'state cap'  analyses now , form the earliest are more
serious , The Council communists,
SPGB parliamentarians, and the Communist- left ,and some anarchists who say
state cap was built up soon
after Nov. 1917  .
There are also  the more later politically contradictory (self-serving)
analysis  of  some maverick  social democrats, trots,  and  even stalino's
who say state-caps rule happened, in 1929, 1939, 1956, etc.

Its a key study and has key  lesson for working class partisans ,
frustrating sometimes, but if socialism is to
have a re-birth in/out of  the working class stuggles, the bourgeois
propaganda (and corrupt leftists too)
about' stalinism  = socialism' has to be debunked and exposed as a  vicious
self-serving lie of the ruling class and its toadies..
