Bad Trot Takes: The Last Marxist Strikes Back

Chris Cutrone joins Alexander Mckay ‪@Marxengelsleninstalinmao‬ and Tara to respond to our past takes on his takes. The postwar left is dying. From its deathbed, the old takes one last gasp: Trots vs. Tankies. Reform vs. Revolution. Western Marxism vs. Actually existing socialism. As the Owl of Minerva takes flight, Chris Cutrone aka The Last Marxist—a Platypus Sith Lord steeped in Adornoian negative dialectics—dismisses nationalist liberation stuggles in the periphery as “petty-bourgeois" and "reactionary" and calls on Western leftists to (re)turn to the pre-political. He offers galactic management by a cadre of socialist professionals in place of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Whereas Alexander Mckay—a Stalin pilled Marxist-Leninist and armed with historical materialism and anti-imperialist conviction—dismisses this progressive managerial socialism (PMS) as a dead end. The struggle continues. The dialectic moves. History decides.
