What an astute observation! This led me to reimagine not just Marxism but other doctrines as well in light of the techno-economic contexts in which they were implemented. Seems like the approach has the potential to be the most effective framework for such evaluations.

i don't understand what's the new in what he says. Orthodox marxists were saying that communism can only prevail in the most developed countries long before the bolshevik revolution, and they are still saying it. That is why the spartacus revolution was so important, and that is what lenin's permanent revolution was about, to fill the gap between agrarian and industrial socicety....

Excuse me, LENIN’S permanent revolution?!
That’s Trotsky’s idea, not Lenin’s. Lenin was opposed to the permanent revolution.
