Dialectics And Politics Of The "Collapse"

After the collapse of the Soviet Union for20years, philosophicalreflection about it should have been more clear and thorough. Marxistdialectics as a political philosophy should be able to provide the mosteffective way of thinking.The dialectics of philosophy is the metaphysics of the revolutionarypolitics of Bolshevism. It gives the absolute power of the revolutionarypolitics, but also to give the revolution a metaphysical “fate”. Necessity andfree will, the class consciousness, the party, leaders and the masses, thoseconstitute the structural premise of practical formation of the revolutionarydialectics. But it also opens up the beginning of voluntarism, totalitarian andpersonal worship, and constructs the powers of the political-intellectual elitesto express the people and to represent the people.After the end of the revolution, the socialist political dialectics of life getdisclosing. The growth became the fundamental criterion of the good societyand good life. The conception of “the growth”,“the great famine” and “theeradicating kulak” was changed into an ideological force to defend thepolitical legitimacy.The foundation of the Soviet political legitimacy increasingly dispelledand lost, which is an inevitably deductive result of the Socialist life dialectics.Its logo: the collapse of the political “truth”, the end of the "growth", the endof the politics of the leaders and the death of the political morality.According to its own logical necessity of the absolute power, the absolutecontradiction became possible. Thus the collapse of the Soviet is theself-collapse of the absolute power.Dialectics is the “logos” of freedom and liberation. The dialecticsprovided the support of moral metaphysics to the construction of theSoviet’s political legitimacy. The Soviet society always obtained theabstract connotation of the moral life only from their “enemy”. They alsodid not have the truly independent and free consciousness of the ethical life. The Soviet society so-called “free” essentially stalled in the theoreticalreason’s field, it is completely based on the “growth” and the “rich” tomeasure or define. After the1970s, with the stagnation of the growth, theSoviet society began to fall into a deepening crisis of values.From the Party’s revolutionary elite to the bureaucrats privileged class,and eventually turned to the anti-socialism’s elite of power-capital, whichwas the result of the logical evolution of the party’s power system itself.From the state ownership to the private ownership, the extremely abstractform of the state ownership constructed a no-obstacle logical pathway forthis direct conversion. The Russian privatization clearly showed that “thecollapse” only further strengthened injustice of privilege of the oldbureaucratic class. Undoubtedly,“the collapse” has thoroughly digested allcriterion about loftiness, truth and correctness of human political life.However, with the “loftiness” digested, where is the human “political–historical” roadmap?...
