#modesofproduction — Public Fediverse posts

Thinking about #modesofproduction and how important the concept was for the development on non-Western Marxism, because it allowed for separating historical analysis from purely theoretical. But I'm wondering whether people like #SamirAmin or Walter #Rodney actually read #Althusser or #Balibar, because they clearly develop similar approaches to #modesofproduction.

And from there one can revert back to #Balibar|s deep reading of what #Marx meant when talking about #modesofproduction. Although neither Amin nor Wolf (or #Banaji for that matter) give him his due, it seems to me the most fitting source of a concept that is thoroughly historical (rather than philosophical/theoretical), i.e. that allows for historical and geographical difference
