Not only that, but ignoring superstructural side of capitalism led to socialist movements being blindsided - Marx predicted an international revolution of industrial workers, yet the only countries that have succeeded in building some semblance of worker state (even though it took anti-proletarian form) were largely agrarian and underdeveloped.
Culture, as it turns out, matters after all.
I don’t disagree with you, but I’m not too well read. Just looking for the “crisis of Leninism” kernels of truth, so to say.
For me the point of interest is that industrialized countries never had a revolution even though the conditions worsen and for the most part, capitalist society evolved to the point where Leninism is largely inapplicable. Any thoughts on that?
I would love if you could recommend some books that you deem crucial for your analysis
