Traditionalist Marxists in [[Urcea]] argue that Urcean society is merely in the capitalist mode of production with a mix of particular institutions that provide a public benefit but do not otherwise change its historical state. The traditionalists point out that a {{wp|distributist}} economy is still, largely, a {{wp|market economy}} and that the means of production are still owned by private hands and serve the interests of private individuals. Mid-20th century [[Republican Party (Urcea)|Republican Party]] leader James Heoghair summarized this position with his well-repeated quote that "a large {{wp|bourgeoisie}} is still a bourgeoisie." | Traditionalist Marxists in [[Urcea]] argue that Urcean society is merely in the capitalist mode of production with a mix of particular institutions that provide a public benefit but do not otherwise change its historical state.

Particular Marxists argue that [[Urcea]] is a historical aberration within the materialist reading of history and that the conditions within Urcea - particularly the existence of the [[Guilds (Urcea)|guild system]], widespread ownership of the means of production and orientation towards social benefit - make Urcea something of a fusion of the feudal, capitalist, and socialist modes of production. Particularists accordingly believe that Urcea has its own ''particular'' mode of production which transcends the materialist history applicable to nearly all other societies. Most Particularists also believe that this mode of production will not become a socialist society merely based on the forces of history, essentially freezing the country in time. Views on the Urcean mode are split within this community, with "fatalists" accepting that it is a relatively benign, if inclined towards a socially oppressive State, that is the least bad option available. The "accommodationists" also believe the Urcean mode is perhaps more benevolent than the capitalist mode, but that it must be pushed past in order to end social oppression and reach a true socialist society. The "radicals" believe that the Urcean mode is a heinous exception to historical forces that has distorted socialism in order to further oppression, both economic and social, and that it must be destroyed. | |||
Particularists generally fall into two political persuasions in response to the "problem" posed by the Urcean mode of production within historical materialism; "Electoralists" and "Accelerationists". | |||
