Each socialist revolution is shaped by indigenous presumptions predating the world system

Evidence

Nairn suggests the transfer of a socialism bred in the historical conditions at the center of industrial capitalism. This is a socialism capable of changing place without changing character! However, no single model of socialist industrialization or development has resulted from the revolutionary social orders of the Soviet Union, the People’s Republic of China, Cuba, Vietnam, Kampuchea, Mozambique, or Angola. That is because each of these revolutionary orders is informed by political, moral, and ideological presumptions with priorities that precede their envelopment into the modern world system. — Cedric J.

Categorization

  • XREF: Contradicts Nairn’s uniform ā€˜ideology of development’ model; directly supports the reader’s arc of how the Black radical tradition (and other Third World socialisms) differ from European models.
  • QUESTION: Worth chasing: what are the specific pre-modern presumptions each of these revolutionary orders carried?
