What is this Blog about?

In this blog I would like to talk about my critique and ideas about philosophy and political economy. My goal is to use my experience and theory to improve the praxis of other marxists. I want to criticize the given conditions in the German left political scene and point out its mistakes. The modern German left hides itself in a shell of "being communist", but actually represents the interests of the petty bourgeoisie and especially of the labor aristocracy. Of course, I am aware that the level of agitation does not really speak for us, compared to other German organizations. I nevertheless came to the decision to share my, albeit currently limited, experience in organizing with others. In my opinion, the successes of communist parties in the Third World, the slow disintegration of the United States of America, and the ever-intensifying conditions in the periphery demonstrate the correctness of the dependency theory. I will be discussing these more frequently in my blog. But of course we will also talk on other topics, especially about my home country, and other topics depending on my mood.

So, in conclusion, we hope that my blog will give you a perspective and a good picture of my work and that it will help you to produce your own agitational work and theory as well as your own ideas and criticism.

The Eternal Debate About Value

Image
Over the last few months, I noticed one particular thing: What is value, anyway? And has "value" always existed, or is this category something peculiar to capitalism? And wait, what does all this have to do with commodity production? One question opened my mind to the next, but where are the answers? The Question Of Questions: What Is Value? Many Marxists already fail at this "simple" question, what actually is value in Marxist economic theory?  The wealth of those societies in which the capitalist mode of production prevails, presents itself as “an immense accumulation of commodities,” its unit being a single commodity. Our investigation must therefore begin with the analysis of a commodity. -Karl Marx:  Capital: Critique Of The Political Economy     Is the introductory sentence of Marx's work "Das Kapital" and already contains a lot of explanations about "value", first it is said that only in capitalist societies wealth occurs as an "a...

From Marx to Mao or from Mao to Marx? - Once Again: Maoism

Image
A Foreword Marxism is in a deep crisis. Not only are we split into hundreds of different ideologies and beliefs but we are also split in our understanding and formulation of Marx's critique of capital. For a long time in my live I have been a Maoist. Not the Gonzalo-Thought kind that one might know from the Austin Red Guards or Tjen Folket in Norway but still subscribing to Maoist philosophy and his views on socialism, capital, democracy and so on. Now has come my time to review my former views and find their errors, I shall attempt to formulate a criticism of Maoism. I will try to be as diverse regarding the differing views and opinions on the topics that I am going to talk about, there is no doubt that I will be missing or lacking some things and facets of it, nonetheless I hope that my insights will be useful. Mass Line and Democracy - Surrendering to Capital What is the most immediate and interesting critique I can make of Maoism is its affirmation of democracy as the correct m...

On The Problem Of Theory And Praxis

Image
Just the other day I noticed that many Marxists who want to bring their ideas, or Marxism of course, into the masses are not quite clear about their own class position and the consciousness that has arisen from it. Isn't it strange that you start making other people class conscious when you don't know your class consciousness? Accordingly, I would like to present here the story about my studies of my own consciousness. Of course, my studies started with the following question "Why am I a communist anyway?"  The question was not easy for me to clarify, a long time I tried to think about it or to solve it in conversations with others for the time being unsuccessfully. I knew that part of it comes from my communist family history and my background, but as a materialist there must have been some material cause or some reason from my class base. Then, after a long period of study (of Dialectical Materialism), I gradually came to the causes of my orientation. First, I found...
