*Bogdanov attacked Lenin as "Menshevik." He formed a faction called
Forward toward ultra-left positions, but it dissolved.
*Lenin purged him in 1909. *Bogdanov played no active role in 1917.
*His memoirs endorsed Trotsky.
Philosophy
*Trotsky-sympathizers say Trotsky sided with Bogdanov philosophically.
*David Joravsky who wrote on Lysenko said Bogdanov's ideas were
equivalent to American pragmatism and said science by Lenin and
scientists is "authoritarian."
*Bogdanov worked with an avowed god-builder in the party, Lunarcharsky
on the same journal of philosphy and in the same speaking forums. As
such he was a precursor to Khruschev and Castro. Both Lunacharsky and
Bogdanov were followers of Mach and Avenarius.
*Numerous authors testify that he was neo-Kantian, hardly a genius of
biology and physics like Tani says.
Talk about prediction. People criticizing Lenin had to go and prove
what their line was made of--worthless rot, but still people like Tani
don't get it. See if Bogdanov was for real he would have gone on to do
his own thing, but he was just criticizing full of shit.
Maybe you better READ some Bogdanov Tani. And you better RE-READ
Lenin, because contrary to your repeated assertions which are either
lies or idiocy, Lenin DID read Bogdanov. Duh. Bogdanov was Lenin's
right hand man till Bogdanov decided to re-write Marxist philosophy!
Bogdanov wrote a three volume book and a preface to another book that
Lenin cites by page number in MEC. OBVIOUSLY, you did not read MEC.
Lenin said in 1920 that he had not read Bogdanov's RECENT works. Get a
clue! That was 1920. The debate was over in 1909. Lenin never said he
hadn't read what he was criticizing! Bogdanov's recent works were
memoirs of a non-revolutionary endorsing Trotsky. They were not the
main bag of "empirio-monism." You had to go and parrot stupid fucking
knee-jerk Liberal lies about Lenin, over and over again, but you JUST
DID NOT READ. You go further and more repeatedly into your same STUPID
pattern in defense of your repeated SOLIPSISTIC attacks on MIM. Each
time, you make errors more stupid than the ones before.
Talk about prediction, did I say Tani was infiltrating idealism in our
midst? Fucking us up with solipsism? Did I peg Tani as ultraleft
PLP/Fifth Estate anarchist?
Bogdanov was a precursor to post-modernism and identity politics. He
held that science was different for every social group! He consciously
advocated herd think and the idea that the GRASS IS PINK. Bogdanov
said:
"The basis of 'objectivity' must lie in the sphere of ITAL collective
END experience. . .
"The agreement in collective experience which is expressed in this
'objectivity' can only appear as the result of the progressive
concordance of the experience of different people as they express
themselves to each other."
See that's why Lenin had to go and say the earth was existing before
man, not because of Karl's grotto, but because Bogdanov was at the
level of K's grotto--not having incorporated the existence of the
objective world BEFORE social consciousness existed! Duh. Sorry, I
don't care how many collective idiots say the GRASS IS PINK. It is not
the truth and grass was probably green if it existed at all, before
there was a "collective experience."
