Edwin Madunagu has done it again in his own inimitable style: drawn attention to the essence of the pillars of Marxism beyond Marx himself.
One of the enduring problematics for me is why the dialectics between class and nation? Of course I know its the staging post on the road to the Third International ( I wish he devotes an essay to the importance of the Third International as well as the gains of the First and Second.)
Is class meaningful outside the context of nation?
Second like Rosa Luxemburg many frontline Marxists have predicted the end of Capitalism for more than a century with careful theoretical analyses but like the second coming of Christ it failed to materialise and Capitalism seems morphing into new forms like the Sphinx rising from its own ashes.
And is Rosa Luxemburg's acquisition of a doctorate not within the context of the same Capitalism she sought to undermine which in activity strengthened the phenomenon? Its the whole reality of a dog chasing its own tail again is it not?

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Rosa Luxemburg remembered By Edwin Madunagu
"Between social reforms and revolution there exists an indissoluble tie. The struggle for reforms is its means; the social revolution, its aim."
 | By Edwin Madunagu My last published piece, "Revolutions that 'fired' young Leftists" (September 26, 2019), was an abridgement of what was originally planned to be a much longer essay. That longer essa www.chidoonumah.com |
