The Nation-State was the fabrication of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. We need to fix our dialectics, Karl Marx made mistakes, he thought that revolution would happen in the advanced Countries, the exact opposite happened, instead it was the backward Countries that brought the waves of revolution. Marxism is the Science of Revolution, not a religion. Karl Marx was Hegelian. Hegelianism is incorrect, even Colonialist. When we look into the history of Nations honestly, we do not find them attached to Countries. Even though Otto Bauer was a revisionist, this does not mean he was always incorrect. Even though Vladimir Lenin was a true revolutionary as well as the truest Marxist that ever lived during his time, this does not mean he was always correct. There are flaws in Joseph Stalin's book Marxism and the National Question to add insult to injury the entire book seems to be too obsessed with denouncing the Jewish Bund. The Bolsheviks support for Zionism was founded upon incorrect ideas, dogmas and even eurocentricity. Maybe if the Bolsheviks had been with the Jewish Bund on a few things perhaps they would not have allied with so many revisionist and reactionary forces. We don't know that much about Modern Bundism but our Maoist Comrades do. Clarifying a few matters; our Maoist Comrades happen to be both - ally and rival - to our theoretical works and practices, we can and will adopt anything applicable that comes from their work. They definitely adopt from Third Worldism, they recognize that there is a Global Class divide.
To put this as plainly as possible, Maoists are always more concerned with Colonialism while we Third Worldists pay more attention to Imperialism. Third Worldists do care about the problem of Colonialism, but destroying Imperialism is more important. Maoists are very serious when it comes to fighting Imperialism, while Maoists object to any charge that they treat Colonialism as more of a primary contradiction, this is still what they are doing. Our Maoist Comrades have made a serious contribution by adopting the theory of Proletarian Federated-State, this rejection of Nation-State is long overdue. We adopt this concept, the only thing that will solve the historical enmity between Syrians and Kurds will not be solved with a Kurdish Nation-State that oppresses other nationalities, having a Syrian Nation-State that does not fully recognize the autonomy of the Kurdish will only push them (the Kurdish that is) to aid Imperialism out of desperation for independence. We saw this same problem with the Jewish Bund, they may have taken on a more correct line had they not been so carelessly cast out by the Bolsheviks, pushing them into the arms of reactionaries. Together the Syrians and the Kurds will need to share a Federated-State, perhaps then both Nations will have a growing class consciousness that will lead to a Proletarian Federated-State. Maoism requires the study of the original Black Panther Party, the original Black Panther Party understood themselves to be of a Nationality in a similar way to that of the European Jews, our Maoist Comrades keep pointing out the idea that the Black Panthers were in effect practicing national-cultural autonomy, the more we investigate this the more correct this turns out to be.
We truly don't know enough about Modern Bundism to say whether we agree with their line, but we are well aware of the growing reputation of Dr. Weizfeld, Dona Newman and Comrade Net Ben-Yahushua. The murder of the five council members of the Bundist Movement led to the murder of every single member of the Proletarian Revolutionary Front. We used to have intense debates with the Proletarian Revolutionary Front, they were Marxist-Leninists and they were very serious about revolution, even though they lived the lives of First Worlders they did not live as First Worldists. The murder of the entire membership of the Proletarian Revolutionary Front led to the murder of most of the leadership of the Lenin-Mao Communist Union; a group of Marxist-Leninists and Maoists dedicated to building a revolutionary base in Arizona. The murder of all these serious revolutionaries in the First world further reinforces our position as Third Worldists, attempts at revolution in the First world even disciplined ones are more likely to end in murder than capturing power. The first Marxists to consider the notion of a Federated-State was the Proletarian Revolutionary Front, we made the mistake of dismissing them, we criticize ourselves for this, it was wrong that we did so; we have been guilty of Liberalism, we apologize. Now we investigate every notion even if we are close to certain that the notion may be incorrect. Our Maoist Comrades made us reconsider much about the Hegelianism that is halting the further development of dialectics. Dialectics is correct, but dialectics can be crippled by incorrect notions such as Hegel's Nation-State.
When our Maoist Comrades managed to explain to us the flaws in the notions by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel we demanded to know how Marxist-Leninists and Maoists had managed to conclude these ideas. Our Maoist Comrades informed us that these ideas came from the Bundist Movement.
The Chairman of the Bundist Movement Dr. Weizfeld came up with the term Auto-determination. The concept behind Auto-determination is basic and correct. Nationalist Self-determination is a colonial contradiction. National-coexisting Auto-determination is the solution to this contradiction. The Nation-States in the Third World can and will hold back a Pan-Third Worldist revolution because Nation-States oppress minority nationalities within the State. The Federated-State can bring about the necessary Coexistent-proletarian Auto-determination of the Third World nationalities that are the real Proletariat. Federated Third World Proletarian States can form a Socialist Global Countryside together.
Maoism-Third Worldism is a shorter name for Marxism-Leninism-Maoism-Third Worldism. Maoism-Third Worldism (M3W) describes what is theorized as the fourth stage in the evolution of Marxist theory. This blog simply serves the function as a proselytizer of Maoism-Third Worldism.

this is a beautiful political prose which demonstrates the process of revolutionary thought.. thanking you for the respectful recognition that you have made of my work to elaborate the Bundist concept of National-Cultural Autonomy. The transforamtion from the Hegelian Nation-State to the 'Federated State' is revolutionary in itself, since collective freedoms are provided recognition. This then liberated the national minorities from notions of a greater Nation, as if this would be democracy. Such a liberal definition of Democracy as simply individual rights without any collective rights, such as nationality, class - and gender is overcome by the re-definition of Democracy as a Federation of collective identities and their individuals.
ReplyDeleteThe nullification of the Nation-State though is not complete without taking into consderation the State itself which corresponds to the centralized superstructure that is erected over the common Society. Our Civil Society is an organic whole that is not dependent and that is why i have reserved the term State for the Hegelian conception. In place of the concept of the State itself which became identified with the Nation in the perspective of the national bourgeoisie, we can adopt the identity of the Civil Society in using the term 'Federation'. Any other case where the State is preserved as a constitutional format as derived from the Monarchy/Sovereignty and cannot be a Federation. The two concept are contradictory. In those cases where differing but equally related Nations together form a State, this is called a Confederation of States. Examples are the United State of America, Switzerland, Belgium, and the Confederation of Canada of 1867. In other instances the Nation-States can be considered Republics. So as to maintain clarity and revolutionary principles, we should use the terms; a Federation of Nations, Federated Country, or a Federation rather than a "Federated State". In the given cases where there are various States in a Constitutional Union, such as the European Union, this would then be named a Confederation and not a Federation. In affect the Confederation is Capitalist and the Federation is Socialist.
One example of the practical consequences is that in the Federated Soceity, it is possible to fully implement National-Cultural-Territorial Autonomy and National-Cultural Autonomy in itself, while any sort of State formation would not allow a diminuation of its given powers unless obliged to do so by the revolutionary movement.
We did not expect you to reply to us. Thank you. We were deeply disturbed when the Proletarian Revolutionary Front were murdered. They were murdered because they decided to help bring in justice for their Bundist Comrades. The Jewish Bundist Diaspora Movement changed a lot in dialectics, there has been no advancement in dialectics since the time of Mao. Thank you for standing with Palestine, thank you for standing with the Third World.
