Re: [Marxism] land reform in Venezuela

[Michael Sims <mjsbpmagen-mxmail@xxxxxxxx>]

Saving pennies as a map-maker - sounds like a well educated surveyor and
not a corsican peasant shepherd or fisherman.

From whom did he get the land from ?

It is essential that land re-distribution only takes place in the form
of collectives - otherwise, as R.Luxembourg pointed out, one is only
re-cycling the problem and land-accumulation will start occurring again.

The Bolsheviks did not "decide" to re-distribute land to individuals,
but their decision was pre-empted by the local peasants and, under the
circumstances, the bolsheviks could not reverse it.

RL's criticism of the Bolsheviks was misunderstood - she was pointing
out the correct position, even if the Bolsheviks "decision" was forced
by circumstances, in order that later, people would not be confused and
believe that the Bolshevik's action was the correct action.

Chavez should insist on collectivisation, which works fine and even now,
and is of spoken positively in eastern Europe and other places.

Collectivisation was a traditional way of working - even in natural
societies (which some call "primitive").
