It is impossible to speak seriously about Marxism in the West without incorporating the role of Christianity in each social formation. “Western Marxism has taken a historic distance from the concrete experiences of socialist transition in the Soviet Union, China, Viet Nam, and Cuba.”
I would recommend reading this and sending this to any radlibs/DSA/anarchists you know
Is there anything specific that you don't disagree with? What part of his analysis leads you to believe that he thinks its a big group? I certainly did not get that impression. I do agree with you that inaction on the part of leftists is the main reason for its small size. I don't consider this infighting, Im not trying to make a chapo.chat2 and I'm not arguing in favor of any tendency. Just saying that there is a constant problem of lack of concrete action related to acquiring real political power
His whole part about Bolivia and the reaction to Morales coming back, is some serious nitpicking. He's looking for a reason to lash out at whatever he deems "western Marxists".
