[Marxism] Labor aristocracy

["Charles Brown" <cbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

rrubinelli :
Here's a thought:  perhaps the "malleability" of the workers in Europe and
the US to the Paddy Aplings much loved popular front, perhaps indeed, the
adherence of the CPs to a program of popular frontism, is exactly the result
of "bribing" the workers of advanced countries with "super-profits" from the
colonized countries.  Perhaps the popular front is the political embodiment
of a "labor aristocracy," and the CPs themselves are nothing but
manifestations of the accommodation of workers, white workers, to
imperialism.

How about that?

CB: Naw. In terms of Leninism, I'd say the anti-Pop Fronters are Leftwing
Communists with Infantile Disorder;  Petty bourgeois revolutionist twins of
the Mensheviks-opportunists, like the Reutherites. ( See Lenin's essays on
petit bourgeois revolutionists; underlying identity of ultra-lefts and
opportunists)
