And I'm going to I want to read a quote because I think this is from Foster Jainaga and this is not from his famous book

Leje Volusion India or the Indian Revolution which was published in 1969 far after he had abandoned his Marxist his first stage of Marxism from his other famous book

Deja I leopardad or Land and Freedom, which was published in 1953, and it was a sociological study of the question of land.

And this is following the national revolution in Bolivia

1952 which saw the introduction of a of an anti-imperialist

nationalist coalition from both somewhat right-wing nationalists but also you have

Marxist movements both Marxist Leninists you have Trotskyists you have Bolivian left

nationalists and anti-imperialists.

It's a really weird hodgepodge.

But Reynaga's quote in that book,

and it's a distinctly Marxist analysis

of the land question and of Bolivian history starts out with something very unique.

It says, when the autochtinous Indian wisdom says man is child of the earth, it speaks a great truth. Evidently, humans since they are born from her generous innards are fed in this passage through the world with her fruits, animals, vegetables, minerals, and after breathing their last breath of life,

they've returned to her bosom.

Bachamama or the Andean Earth goddess

is the mother of man.

That's a distinctly,

one could say that's a distinctly spiritualist metaphysical analysis that's beyond Marxism,

how dare you be indigenous, like those, but he does this as a way to explain that there's a certain type of

spiritually embedded materialism that he starts out from that the relationality that one has to

nature is not one of nature gains meaning

through the labor that one puts into the world, which is the classical Marxist formula
