friedrich list, PROPHET OF NATIONAL POWER - of LDCs - Less Developed Countries

This is hopelessly ahistorical. List died in 1846, well before imperialism
was understood in Marxist terms. Perhaps Rakesh wants to use a non-Marxist
definition of imperialism to go along with his non-Marxist definition of
fascism. Why not go all the way.

Voice of the industrial bourgeoisie? You mean like the Northerners who Marx
cheered on against the slavocracy in the pages of the Herald Tribune? What
a fascistic deviation on Marx's part to support the imperialistic south.
