Replying to LO23146 --

Philip: let's be exTREMEly careful concerning our words and referents! We
must say over and over again: ever since the fall of *Stalinism*.
Communism was expelled from Stalinism shortly after the call by Trotsky
for the *Fourth International*... ;-} rap.

REF:
Was there an alternative to Stalinism?

> As a point of interest, Jurgen Habermas has taken Marx's work forward, and
> I do not believe that the fall of communism has devalued Habermas's work.
> This continuity with the past, is why I would have liked to have seen an
> analysis of power based upon Burrell & Morgan's framework. I like to
> understand the origins and assumptions underlying theories. As I see
> things, a difference between Habermas and Foucault lies in the emphasis
> give to the community / individual dimension. It is back to the trinity
> of "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity". (There are three because we can
> only think in 2 dimensions.)
