Email: The Bourgeois ‘Lie’ that Socialism Equates to Betrayal! (22.2.2021)
Dear Gillian The right-wing (bourgeois) press in the UK reminds me of those confused people we see riding on the bus, Tube, or train, etc.
Eric Hobsbawm: Bourgeois Intellectual
Hobsbawm’s work is popular throughout the bourgeois system because it undermines the very Marxism it claims to represent, through the careful and clever presentation of many small, but important misrepresentations of Marxist philosophy and its application. The over-all effect of this policy is a movement away from a correct Marxist analysis and toward a thoroughly (and for Hobsbawm a comfortable) bourgeois interpretation. His deliberate and illogical separation of the Russian Communist Revolution from that of the Chinese Revolution is bizarre in its certainty, and smirks of Eurocentric bias bordering on the racist. Whatever Hobsbawm motivation for this flawed analysis, it is obvious that he does not adhere to the Marxist principle of ‘internationalism’.
