Was ist Kunst? Die Antwort des Marxisten Thomas Metscher
Buchbesprechung von Rudolph Bauer
Lenin sah die weltgeschichtliche Bedeutung des Marxismus darin begründet, „dass er die wertvollsten Errungenschaften des bürgerlichen Zeitalters keineswegs ablehnte, sondern sich umgekehrt alles, was in der mehr als zweitausendjährigen Entwicklung des menschlichen Denkens und der menschlichen Kultur wertvoll war, aneignete und es verarbeitete“. Das Zitat entstammt dem Band „Kultur. Ein geschichtlicher Entwurf“ von Thomas Metscher, erschienen im fortschrittlichen Kasseler Mangroven-Verlag. Lenins Feststellung gewinnt gerade heute eine besondere Bedeutung.

Lenin
LENIN, VLADIMIR ILYICH ULYANOV (1870-1924), founder and guiding spirit of the Soviet Republics and the Communist International, the disciple of Marx, the leader of the Bolshevik party and the organizer of the Oct. revolution in Russia, was born on April 9 (22), 1870, in the town of Simbirsk, now Ulyanovsk. His father, Ilya Nicolaevitch, was a schoolmaster. His mother, Maria Alexandrovna, was the daughter of a doctor named Berg. His eldest brother (b. 1866) joined the “Narodovoltze” (a revolutionary terrorist society), and taking part in the unsuccessful attempt on the life of Alexander III., was executed (1891); this was a determining factor in Lenin’s life.

The “turn toward the indigenous” in social theory over the last couple of decades, associated with the critique of white settler colonialism, has reintroduced themes long present in Marxian theory, but in ways that are often surprisingly divorced from Karl Marx’s critique of capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism.

puts the options open to a capitalist government in Aotearoa/NZ which would shift investment from speculation in property to productive sectors. He prefers a 0.5% land tax to a wealth tax or Capital Gains Tax. But the Labour Government with a majority of seats has written all such taxes off as unpopular with the interests of the property-owning middle class. But for Marxists, such fiddling with capitalist monetary and fiscal policy does not exhaust solutions to the housing question!
Part 1: The housing crisis is the legacy of white settler colonisation
Finance Minister Robertsonâs timid suggestion to the Reserve Bank to dampen down the rapid rise in housing prices shows that Labour is committed to the neo-liberal dogma that the Reserve Bank must maintain its independence from politics. These proposals exclude anything more radical, such as the policies of the Labour movement in the early 20
