[lbo-talk] "Theory's Empire," an anti-"Theory" anthology

[wrobert at uci.edu]

Actually, I remember reading a book on consciousness raising that was
written in the early 70's that explicitly referenced the 'speaking bitter'
sessions that were used in multiplicity of ways in the PRC and in the
revolutionary movement before that.

    As for the broader interest in Maoism, the PRC continued to emphasize
anti-colonial struggle when the Soviet Union had abandoned that
language (as to practice, it may have been a different story)  It
seems that the PRC continued to emphasize the anti-colonial message of
Baku and expanded on it.
