petty bourgeois socialism

diagnoses modern production with great acuteness, prescribes guilds and patriarchal farms, and ends in a miserable fit of the blues.

Recast in definition form from: “This school of Socialism dissected with great acuteness the contradictions in the conditions of modern production In either case, it is both reactionary and Utopian. Its last words are: corporate guilds for manufacture; patriarchal relations in agriculture.”

answers each blow of capital with a demand: hounded as debtor, it wants credit institutions; crushed by competition, state-backed associations; overwhelmed by concentration, progressive taxes and limits on inheritance.

Recast in definition form from: “Capital hounds this class chiefly as its creditor, so it demands credit institutions; capital crushes it by competition, so it demands associations supported by the state; capital overwhelms it by concentration, so it demands progressive taxes, limitations on inheritance, taking over of large construction projects by the state, and other measures that forcibly stem the growth of capital.”
