[Marxism] [Eng, title Lat] Ultima ratio regum siue populorum

["Nestor Gorojovsky" <nestorgoro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fred Feldman:

One fact to keep in mind -- an organized and armed population is much
more omnipresent than an army and police, even if the latter are
revolutionary in sentiment, and can be much more effective in
preventing such incidents. That's one of the reasons why Fidel and
Raul made it through the '60s and down to the present.

Me:

Yes, perhaps this is the divide between "bourgeois" and "socialist"
revolutions in L.A.  Armed and organized populations in defense of
their own rights.  The most immediate form of workers control...

Guns, "ultima ratio regum" was the French King's motto.

Maybe we should think of guns as "ultima ratio populorum" or "ultima
ratio proletariorum".

One of the reasons why Peron fell in 1955 was that he was reluctant 
to accept the constitution of armed militiae of the workers after the
events of June.
