Marv says I "focus on the 'crisis of leadership' in both the USSR and China." Don't let his quotation marks fool you into thinking I said that. It is just another of his cheap rhetorical tricks.
He talks about why working classes have not risen up – as though he had some interest in revolution (which every worker knows is serious life-or-death business to be undertaken in exceptional circumstances). His issues and concerns on this list demonstrate over and over again that he laughs at the very thought of it, like those Mensheviks who disdained the Bolsheviks' tireless work to be ready for revolution from 1906 to 1916. And even during 1905: “If the windbag Trotsky now writes (unfortunately, side by side with Parvus) that ‘the priest Gapon could appear only once,’ that ‘there is no room for a second Gapon,’ he does so simply because he is a windbag.” (Lenin, “Social-Democracy and the Provisional Revolutionary Government,” April 1905, Selected Works, Vol. 8, p. 85) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
