"Political conditions are subservient to the economic conditions of production, which as Engels says, in his response to Bloch²  are those of the production and reproduction of social life."Is calling the political conditions "subservient to the economic conditions" the same thing as calling it "undecisive" in the making of history? (This question is not meant to be rhetorical)"Yes.  Take the Labour parties.  Take the Leninist parties.  They were really, really, really important.  Nobody could deny that. But they were not decisive.  Not at all!"Why exactly weren't the Bolsheviks decisive in the making of history?
