[lbo-talk] US workers in 2010 as compared to German workers in the1930s

[Mark Wain]

It is strange, to say the least, that mentioning contrast, or differences in 
opinions, between masses and Marxists is red-baiting. One may come 
originally from the masses, but due to a variety of different reasons, one 
has, nevertheless, changed so much from the masses and divorced from them at 
a later stage. This happens all the time, especially when Marxists have 
learned too much about theories and failed to update them and make concrete 
analysis according to ever-changing places, times of period and other 
concrete situations. My suggestion to all on the elist ( not elite, :-)) is 
that let us learn from the masses at the same time when we study theory; 
their knowledge is precious for us to raise our theoretical knowledge level.

Revolutionary practice means to transform one's subjective thoughts through 
participation in the transformation of the objective world.
