I think it’s interesting to read through works by other Marxists and sometimes notice when an author stumbles upon a Third Worldist kind of argument without realizing it. In this passage from Zombie Capitalism by
In First Worldist Marxism there is a terrible tendency held by some groups to oppose the police and the violence they commit against the population; but support the their military. Some people have a line of “fuck the police”, yet they welcome the military with open arms. The theory is that the police are class…
Kevin Rashid of the blog Democracy and Class Struggle attempts to take on the Maoist International Movement (MIM) by claiming he can debunk the idea of a global labour aristocracy.[1] His answer contains no tangible refutation whatsoever. He mere dogmatically reasserts what has been stated in the past about the labour aristocracy without actually confronting…
I recently had a chance to read a post by Michael Roberts on the idea that the increasing automation of manufacturing (or at least heavy manufacturing) would not lead to a leisure society as depicted by Keynes, or perhaps to some degree by the Zeitgeist movement. The post was excellent but I had some thoughts…
A little while ago I did a Q & A video where I said that Tito was reactionary. I said that Titoists were ‘tankies’ (uneducated poor quality communist) given their very weak understanding of Marxist theory. Titoists obviously didn’t like this and a particular one took exception to it. Essentially his argument was two Tweets…
Ed. Note: Normally I wouldn’t find it necessary to respond to such an old post, but I felt it was important given the prevalence of the opinion that Harrison is giving.

Nothing is more hilarious (and telling) for me than to watch right wingers fall on their face when they try to attack the Soviet Union on economic grounds. It’s a tactic that never works in their favour when they approach it honestly. When they’re exposed as being ignorant on the subject, or outright lying, they…

Generally, we are not interested in posting any and all testimonials regarding the personal adoption of Maoist (Third-Worldist) analysis. However, this recent article, posted at Gonzo Times by one of their former writers, is exceptional in countering some of the criticisms leveled against Maoism (Third-Worldism). In addition, we congratulate the author of…
It can be quite difficult to understand dialectics given the nature of the topic and the difficult language that is used. Here I will attempt to make understanding Mao’s Tse-tung “On Contradiction” easier for someone new to it to understand. The Universality of Contradiction The universality of contradiction is well known, this is the basis…
