Dan La Botz responds to his critics in this latest contribution to the discussion on Lenin:
"My argument is that Lenin’s decisions proved incapable of defending and advancing a democratic socialist revolution — in fact, they contributed to the frustration and failure of the revolution, the results of which we are all familiar with. Yes, the objective conditions were terrible, oppressive, practically overwhelming, etc. But even within that context, the question remains: were there no alternatives to Lenin’s strategic decisions? Might other approaches have led to different outcomes? There is no guarantee, of course; but they might have. So, the question deserves discussion." https://links.org.au/lenin-versus-democracy-reply-critics-goodbye-lenin-and-leninism -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
