Ah, the movement is everything the goal nothing, sure Rob and pigs fly. By the way nice to see ya still around. Anyway when it comes to the anarchists they have historically proved that both there actions and this connected to theory has let lots of people to death and defeat. Naturally, communists do under certain circumstances defend them against the bourgois state and repression but hardly take part in some of there more suicidal politics and actions. a good example is Sopain and the popular front during the civil war..

Sure Rob. However the communist duty is to seperate the conflicting classes forenost the bourgeoisie and the proletariat into there respective parts and in the first hand struggle for proletarian independence. Just what "socialist feminists" are you talking about. Hmmm as far as i can see from here is that at best these groups being petty bourgeois, anti marxist wimps who always put the sexline before the class line.

Does Leninīs theory on imperialism being the highest stage of capitalism still apply or not. Or is it your applicatuion of what you think is on the surface that counts despite the heavy materialist" shit..
