[QUOTE="Jonathan Jarvis, post: 68991374, member: 327616"] I am an avid Chomsky reader and my own views tend towards that of a libertarian socialist. Although how much I like the idea I cannot see the state withering away. In John Reeds book [B][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Days_That_Shook_the_World']Ten Days That Shook the World[/URL] [/B]he records that during the October revolution the leaders of the revolution instructed the employees of the Russian state to continue working. Move forward to today we see the state even stronger. In the UK over the last 30 or so years we have imported from the US a variety of particularly pernicious form of capitalism - which Oliver James describes as English Speaking Western Capitalism in his book [URL='http://www.amazon.com/The-Selfish-Capitalist-Origins-Affluenza/dp/0091923867'][SIZE=4][B]The Selfish Capitalist: Origins of Affluenza[/B][/SIZE][/URL][SIZE=4] which he describes ties in the populus through aggressive consumerism into the capitalist system. So will the rise of Marxism result in / militate towards change. We can only hope.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
