Mistake:

When I said "the class struggle/leftist groups on the scene till the 
mid seventies had sort of marginalized the influence of the 
fundis--this is back when capital, globally, was still expanding the 
labor force, and the "rentier" states of OPEC put money into 
development projects and whatnot, providing some place for the 
peasants to go when they hit the big city" I should not have said 
that capital was globally expanding the labor force. What I mean is 
that certain parts of the third world, like opec nations and those 
they helped to develop for a while--simultaneous with the beginning 
of deindustrialization in the advanced capitalist countries--received 
a larger portion of the world surplus value in the form of 
petrodollars, and this allowed industrialization to expand for a 
while in those countries, thus to expand the labor force in those 
countries, bringing people into the cities--it was NOT a global 
expansion of the labor force like I mistakenly said: it was local, 
and very temporary.
