I have held that such a strategy amounts to giving a socialist coloration to the replacement of PRI rule by a more democratic bourgeois regime . Whatever we might wish, what is imminent in Mexico today is not a social revolution, but a democratization of the bourgeois regime . The activists should push for the furthest democratization possible, but they must also build a distinct class movement for socialist revolution . If the activists simply form a left-wing of the struggle for democratization, they will end up subordinated to bourgeois politics . It provides some interesting news about developments in Mexico, but fails to clearly assess the overall meaning of the July 6 national elections .
Postmodernist philosophy is old subjectivist wine in new bottles .
Postmodernism has produced diverse offshoots and projects . It poses as a radical challenge to the capitalist establishment, but in reality its philosophy undermines resistance to the ruling class . Its essence is a subjective idealism which attacks human reason itself and the materialist world view of science, reserving particular vehemence for Marxist revolutionary theory . Its logic prevents a coherent analysis of the natural world and especially of capitalist social reality and undermines revolutionary theoretical and political struggle against capitalism . Dependency theory recognizes that the imperialist system continues to exist after the liberation of most all the colonies, but it gives a wrong picture of what the imperialist system looks like .
