This seems like the thread to ask it: what do you people think Marx would make of the fact revolution failed in the industrial imperial core, while it succeeded in the rural perifery? And how do you think climate change would have affected his analysis (analysises? Plural how? ??)?
Marx would probably attentively read all of Lenin first before even responding and he’d probably agree about capitalism having advanced to an internationally connected system. Would he accept or modify or add to Lenin’s explanation about the weaker links of capitalism imperialism being in the periphery? Someone who knows more about Lenin and Marx than me should answer that. It might again depend on the time and place (historical Russia vs today).
I think climate change wouldn’t affect Marx economic theory much, it seems to fit within the classical framework (price vs value, ground rent, totality, “free gifts of nature”, dialectical relationship between nature and culture etc.) Eco socialism is not that controversial, is it? The added sense of urgency is real though.
