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 Peopleās 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. ā Cedric J. Robinson, Black Marxism_ The Making of the Blackā¦, 381
Categorization
- XREF: Contradicts Nairnās uniform āideology of developmentā model; directly supports the readerās 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?
