I see in a later post that you answer your own questions to me, no ?

From: Ted Winslow
Ted to me: Why is it hard to distinguish Marx's claims about what, at a minimum, would have to be done to win peasant support for the political and economic arrangements pointed to in the Civil War in France from what was actually done to Russian peasants (the vast majority of the Russian population) after 1917?
Ted to Chris: Marx underestimates the difficulties involved in transforming this self-consciousness into the kind required for socialist economic and political arrangements (i.e. the kind of arrangements pointed to in the Civil War in France).
