For some reason Einde, instead of dealing with the facts in the article, decided
to post a quote by Lenin. Personally, I'd rather deal with the concrete issues
of nation, class, and anti-imperialism in Libya than seek recourse to the same
old revolutionary catechisms.
I was responding to Vladimiro Giacche's one-liner, not to your post -
which isn't exactly new news.
Lenin's insight in to the nature of nationalist upheavals is relevant in
this context. And equally relevant is his remark in the next paragraph:
"Whoever expects a “pure” social revolution will *never* live to see it.
Such a person pays lip-service to revolution without understanding what
revolution is."
