you didn't answer the question.

Why should I? It's not something I claimed, I was getting in a crack about a typo, and said as much.

There is something up with "there's a difference between working-class consciousness, political consciousness, and revolutionary consciousness" to my mind; seems like an unnecessary division into external categories you're imposing from an exterior model that exists outside of the lived history.

It's a forum, people share their views. if you feel intimidated by the question, no worries.

Your ability to argue like a cock is a bit intimidating, I do confess. How many moments of my life can I spare in one of your circular online paper sales?

the notion of revolutionary consciousness accept all that. He has a high level of political consciousness, from a fascist viewpoint. But he doesn't have a consciousness of the innate contradictions within capitalist society which cause it to going to boom and slump, for example, and which would be just as inherent in a fascist society. so he has a low level of revolutionary conscious, not a low level of political consciousness.

the thing is though, i think he does. and i think cameron etc do too, but they view it as a good thing.

they are aware it happens, but they don't agree with Marx's explanations of the causes.
