But Nkrumah defined it as the final stage of Imperialism, which is correct. And Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism.
But there is more theoretical work to be done. We have to cultivate an analysis of the depletion or reduction of capital, that is, the idea that the world socialist revolution can deplete or reduce capital to a form which is unusable for capitalism/Imperialism. This is extremely important for us to understand. If capital can be diminished, reduced or eradicated by transforming it from abstract forms (stocks, bonds, futures, chips, exotic currencies, etc.) into local economic structures which are used for collective development, then the capitalists will not be able to buy any refuge. They will not have any enclaves or niches in society. This is how all activities will gain transparency and corruption will be eradicated from the socialist society.
I like having this discussion because it broadens our understanding and our ability to relate the struggle in terms that everyone can grasp. |
I enjoy these struggles also.
Of course we should advance and improve upon theories, and adjust them to fit our current situations. The intelligentsia should keep that afloat.
I do not understand the role the poor proletariat plays in the disinvestment in stocks....I do not understand how the poor proletariat even invests... Every poor working person I know, does not have the luxury of saving any money or even the slightest capability of allowing some of it to go into someone's company or major corporation.
When you say:
"We have to cultivate an analysis of the depletion or reduction of capital, that is, the idea that the world socialist revolution can deplete or reduce capital to a form which is unusable for capitalism/Imperialism."
The Revolutions allow those Socialist countries to take care of each other (with
integrity).
And we always remember that corporations run capitalist government.
In essence, each time a country becomes Socialist, america looses power.
I am simply asking, if capital is depleted for america by the market theory (the proletariat simply not investing), what would our plight be as Africans still in america? What would African countries and other countries suffering by the hand of the oppressor plight be? What would Socialists states become? Is this type of happening of one that has been tested? Even so/not, what becomes of america? Would Pan-Africanism just....happen? Are not the markets international?
Is this something before or after "The World Socialist Revolution?"
(I know only a little about markets, so lay it on me properly...*wink*)
