It's an interesting approach to have an atmosphere where anybody could be picked off at any time in your recruitment video.

I didn't realize we were at the stage where we had a Stalinist admin but everyone regarded him as a joke.

That's a good stage to be at! I won't pick at him any more.

I didn't blow any whistle, it just so happened that at a later date, the Chinese government itself confirmed it was real, when he pretended it wasn't. It's not about owning him, it's about pointing out how cowardly Stalinists are.

the government line was always rejecting the formulation of internment camps rather than the idea of reeducation. at the un they said minor offenders were given education in lieu of jail time. the only difference now is they're giving details on what the education process entails.

interning a million people based on their religious identity is kinda like reeducating the capitalists after the revolution, except it's just done for different reasons

quote:

State capitalism would be a step forward as compared with the present state of affairs in our Soviet Republic. If in approximately six months’ time state capitalism became established in our Republic, this would be a great success and a sure guarantee that within a year socialism will have gained a permanently firm hold and will have become invincible in this country.

quote:

The state capitalism, which is one of the principal aspects of the New Economic Policy, is, under Soviet power, a form of capitalism that is deliberately permitted and restricted by the working class. Our state capitalism differs essentially from the state capitalism in countries that have bourgeois governments in that the state with us is represented not by the bourgeoisie, but by the proletariat, who has succeeded in winning the full confidence of the peasantry.
Unfortunately, the introduction of state capitalism with us is not proceeding as quickly as we would like it. For example, so far we have not had a single important concession, and without foreign capital to help develop our economy, the latter’s quick rehabilitation is inconceivable.

i mean more in the presumption "state capitalism" is only really distinguishable from regular capitalism by its efficiency and results. the bureaucracy constituting a new ruling class follows pretty easily from that.

It actually is Trot-adjacent like he said because the idea that there's any daylight between Leninism and Trotskyism is a Stalinist lie.

the success of the Chinese socialist private sector is vital to the Chinese socialist state and thus the cause of international socialism

Wolff's take is actually pretty lame. USSR and China both only really started explosive growth once the states went for a sort of "primitive socialist accumulation", rapidly feeding peasants into the working class and enforcing a social austerity on the plebs to feed a larger portion of national resources to production of the means of production. So he just ignored how the USSR stagnated without recovery in sight once the accumulation period was over. Of course in China it is still underway and may not lead to stagnation since China has been able to build a high-tech capitalist sector that proves they have managed to at least partially build different dynamics than the USSR.

Lenin's state capitalism is also a totally different beast from later USSR and China too, it as well as Mao's policy up to at least the GLF (instead of the peasant being ripped from the land, they would make pig iron as a side gig!) were meant to avoid this "primitive socialist accumulation" and instead develop an economy where the state leads peasants to modernize on their own terms and avoid alienating them. Wolff is using the leftcom state capitalism concept, specifically the proven incorrect by history kind where state capitalism is understood to be the most advanced kind of capitalism, much like trots also understood those countries to be one foot in capitalism, the other foot beyond capitalism basically. I think Wolff does this because he's like a marxist socdem at heart and wants to believe the state to be able to solve the problems of his co-op economy.
