Talk:State monopoly capitalism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There really needs to be a discussion on monopoly capitalism by itself. Darth Sidious 03:25, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
This article overlaps almost entirely with state capitalism - I propose a merge. Thoughts? Skomorokh incite 13:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
It doesn't seem to me to be such an overlap. state capitalism is much broader (in a way that makes it more difficult to manage the competing ideas of editors). state monopoly capitalism has the advantage of being very focused. I think its current content would be in danger of being lost if merged into state capitalism, while the latter would become even more flabby than it already is. I agree with Darth Sidious that there should be something on monopoly capitalism, which currently redirects to this page. It should be a separate article. If you look around at the articles on Lenin, Bukharin, Hobson, and Hilferding, at least, there is some material already at hand on the topic, though it doesn't always use the term.

The concept and theory of state monopoly capitalism is historically distinct from the theories of state capitalism, and also refers to a different political tradition. Stamocap theory is specifically a Marxist-Leninist tradition associated with Soviet Marxism and its Western sympathizers, which is not shared by many other Marxist traditions. Therefore I think the article should remain separate from the state capitalism article. User:Jurriaan 25 December 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.170.233.47 (talk)
