Let's start with a simple idea: share the materialist analysis of capitalism (profit, imperialism) carried out by Marx and Lenin. I do not agree that the revolutionary practice has a religious foundation of community-based, but a scientific basis (class relations). Therefore, I do not think that the working class is revolutionary. I believe that the civil war following the Russian Revolution was essentially a patriotic war. The victory of Communism was the first victory of the patriotic religion of the Russian people on the tsar. The Russian people believed to have a historical mission, as Mazzini to operate in the action meant that God held together, recognizing and accept the mission that men and nations receive from God the Russian people, the place of God was perhaps communism: "work the action which the contradictions of capitalism held to recognize and accept the mission that people receive from men and economic contradictions of capitalism. "
If we substitute in place of God "contradictions of capitalism," we find the same religious system.
I am convinced that capitalism has within it the contradictions so evident that it scalfirlo.L 'idea that capitalism can end up is a religious idea, and as such is not scientifically verifiable. On the other hand, religious ideas are the engine of the revolution, and then change, unless they are ideas shared by a community. Capitalism is destroying the community by imposing our modern dictatorships party or exaggerated individualism, seeking to exorcise all the costs of democratic change. I quote a passage of Mazzini:
"We we fell as a political party. We must rise as a religious party. The religious element is universal, immortal universalized and colleague. Every great revolution Serbian stamp it, and reveals it in his own home or in the end that is proposed. For it is founded association. initiators of a new world, we must establish the moral unity. " The superiority of Mazzini compared to some Marxists, is that the Marxists are not aware of living a religious ideal, an ideal of community, but are convinced that their ideal should be scientific claims. An error which might have saved the Hegel-Marxist, but certainly not the Marxists positivists.
We come to the key point: If those who want a communitarian democracy, can not deny religion and patriotism, as exquisitely Community, as it is possible that the Marxist socialists (not mazzini) are sliced \u200b\u200bto reject country and religion?
I have my own idea on the subject. I think patriotism is that religiosity is an expression of the Community practice. The contents of patriotism and religion may have an ideological foundation (Preserve the domination of a class on the demos) or a foundation revolutionary (think of the coming messianic communism, the cardinal idea of \u200b\u200bthe Russian revolution, which combines the features of religion and patriotism in Russia with an ultimate goal Democrat). What today may seem ideological, tomorrow can become a revolutionary. That is why, from time to time, we must analyze matierialisticamente class relations, and at the same time to analyze the dominant ideology. Analyze the possibility to build a religion from content that is not the dominant ideology, capable of moving the masses. It 'just what did Lenin, when he analyzed the dominant ideology: the opportunity to Kautsky. On the dialectical reversal of Kautsky, Lenin has built a religious hope: the victory of communism in Russia, against the scientific predictions of Kautsky. This religion Lenin has found adherents among the people: religion + patriotism led the revolution.
other hand we have the conservatism today it is the anti-religiosity, individualism, and trust in the development of capitalism as preprogativa for human liberation. These items (which many Marxists UNFORTUNATELY EMBRACE), are factors that hinder the change, the revolution.
I am convinced that a good religion (= political practice) should be based on a Hegel-Mazzini, as ethnicity and class action governed by providence, that creates democracy. Because democracy is the only thing the demos can be done, since has managed since the times of Greece. All scientific analysis can be a map to direct popular action, but action needs a popular fuel, religion.
read these sentences from the encyclopedia entry Mazzini:
What Mazzini was a political project but moved by a religious imperative that no defeat, no adversity could weaken. "After reaching this voltage of faith, order and common sense of the events was reversed; the defeat did not cause the killing, the success of the opponents did not remain in stable order. "[15]
Human history so it would be a progressive revelation of God's providence that step by step moves towards the goal set up by God
Now, it is certain that many will turn up their nose skeptical. To date, however, the idea of \u200b\u200bdivine providence is not the most absurd idea of \u200b\u200bthe scientific collapse of capitalism.
The idea of \u200b\u200bdivine providence that historical work is an idea that, if embraced, can be a substrate of community and not discouraged by defeats history. Religion, true or false, has an effect: to build a community of purpose, which, as such, it is customary to transform. Communism, Marx is off from the point of view of the practice because it did not recognize its substrate religious, and appealed to the historic defeat as if it were a verdict of science. That's why communism positivism is the best ally of capitalism because it is opposed in principle to everything that is communal (patriotism and religion), while the EU may also have something revolutionary, if you know how to look.
