4 Iterations
v5.0 — current working draft
v5.0

Accumulation, War, Party Direction, and the Extinction of Capitalist Categories

An Endogenously Driven Hybrid Model of Revolutionary Transition, Class Abolition, and Lower Communism

A revised value–accumulation–war model that corrects the formal boundary between the dictatorship of the proletariat and classless lower communism, distinguishes the proletarian class-state from residual administration, and confines counterrevolutionary reversion to the transitional dictatorship.

v4.0 — third draft, superseded
v4.0

Accumulation, War, Party Direction, and the Extinction of Capitalist Categories

A Dialectical Stock-Flow-Consistent Model of Imperialist Crisis and Communist Transition

An endogenously driven model linking value relations, accumulation, overaccumulation, imperialist rivalry, war and crisis with party direction, regional revolutionary development, category extinction and labour-time planning.

v3.0 — second draft, superseded
v3.0

Party, Class Dictatorship, and the Extinction of Capitalist Categories

A Hybrid Macro-Structural Framework for the Transitional Economy

A hybrid reconstruction separating party, class organs, bourgeois and proletarian states, legal nationalization, capitalist-category extinction, the transitional economy, lower communism and higher communism.

v2.1 — first draft, superseded
v2.1

Cycles, Excitability, and Category Transition

A Stock-Flow-Consistent Goodwin Model with Effective Demand, Capacity Utilization, Subcritical Bifurcation, Finite Excitability, and Material-Planning Synthesis

A bounded stock-flow-consistent Goodwin model with debt, effective demand and capacity utilization, followed by a verified subcritical Hopf bifurcation, a finite-amplitude political excitability threshold, and a preliminary material-planning system.
