Blaming the German "unfinished bourgeois revolution" for Fascism,
useful and right as it is for comrades struggling in Germany, is a
partial truth, and provides an alibi for the bourgeoisies of the
remaining imperialist countries. A British, a French, an American
revolutionary should be more interested in the fact that Keynes
pointed to: that Hitler was just, as Jorge Abelardo Ramos wrote in
Argentina once, "the Versailles treaty as seen from the German side".

The responsibility of the "finished bourgeois revolutions" in the
delivery of that monster of History (a monster who, by the way,
learnt a lot from the policies followed by those bourgeoisies in the
colonies and simply applied the recipe to Europe) is overwhelming. It
is not the best Marxist practice to sweep it under the rug. While
German and Austrian comrades are in their full right to remind their
fellow countrymen of the direct responsibilities of their own
bourgeoisies in the rise of Fascism (a topic with the Frankfurt
school to which Adorno belonged, on the right wing by the way), it is
the duty of comrades in countries who ENFORCED GERMANY INTO NAZISM
AGAINST THE ADVICE OF EVEN THE MOST PERCEPTIVE BOURGEOIS
INTELLECTUALS SUCH AS KEYNES not to raise _that_ side of the question
high enough that it dillutes the struggle against the "democratic"
butchers that rule their own countries.

There is even a matter of morality in all this. We cannot be below
the standards of a bourgeois such as Keynes.
