The Boss

One day we should debate the sound bite "the emancipation of the working class is the task of worker-class functionaries."

Yea to be honest I don't blame you, I made that thread almost half a year ago and it kinda creeps me out that it's been bumped again. I'll probably just let it run it's natural course.

"Intensely"? If truly so, then good for you. If not, at least you're starting to learn. You should post Economics threads debating the matter, as part of your mod mandate to promote discussion.

Done! Sorry about that - I was having trouble with the BB code for a minute there.

That was quite an emotional outburst from you in the Chavez thread, I must note.

It was uncalled for.

Not sure if you saw it, but sorry for the border line attack in the mod thread. It was a complete misunderstanding and also just me being a drunked dick. I apologize.

Feel free to reply in the "State-capitalism" thread. Your argument is no different from anti-communists who assert that Lenin became "realistic" and "realized that communism did not work." They fundamentally misunderstand the way Lenin used the term, just as they misunderstand the NEP.

Hey thanks. I am especially feeling this current one lately.

Interesting. I remain sceptical but it would be cool to see a discussion about it (sure, there must have been one already, but a fresh one).

Perhaps you would like to start one? I might wait a bit until I comment, to see some different views first. But yeah it'd be interesting.
