The LRP 2024 refers back to their article from 2020 where they quoted Engles on the Prussian Military and Lenin on Left Wing Communism…. To show that they both advocated for workers to vote with bourgeois parties against reactionary parties… I think this was totally disingenuous as Engles went to great lengths to show the struggle against feudal remnants and the class development demographics still was heavily weighted toward the bourgeoisie thus the advocacy by Engles. Lenin clearly aware of Engles article and of the class relations of Russia did the same…until he didn’t…. The turning point being April Theses and Lenin employing Permanent Revolution.

The issue is not, MG to the contrary notwithstanding, what this or that individual does or advocates as an individual. The issue is what an organization of socialists, holding that a class conscious workers' movement is the sole agency for achieving that socialism does and advocates in the attempt to stimulate, facilitate that movement. Now if the prospect for that socialism and agency no longer exist, then there's really no point to pretending Marxism has any relevance. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
