Critical Marxism


I’ve been thinking about this and I’ve come to a conclusion. I don’t want this blog to be a blog of tweed-Marxism, the type of Marxism that the professors slobber over while the world outside the universities collapses. I am changing the content of this blog from a journal about theoretical issues to one of critical Marxism. I am organizing the entries based upon the principle of:
“… help the masses in the process of the daily struggle to find the bridge between present demands and the socialist program of the revolution. This bridge should include a system of transitional demands, stemming from today's conditions and from today's consciousness of wide layers of the working class and unalterably leading to one final conclusion: the conquest of power by the proletariat.”
I’m not going to abandon the theories of Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Marcuse, et. al. but instead critically analyse current events.

And sorry if this post sounds a bit incoherent. I had written a better one before but my computer crashed.
