“By Way of Example” (1–4) 206. On the Genoa Conference, on the withdrawal of
§ II: “Without Metaphor” (4–8). Every comparison is flawed—
the Russian troops from Georgia, on the legalization of

NB: Hundreds of millions of rubles in gold profits—even “the ideal trio” (Martov + Chernov + Gldm 207) will not bring ruin. § On the concept of state capitalism: the dialectical use of this term.
