I must say in support of Angela that it remains to shown that Lenin and Marx had anything in common. ----Original Message Follows---- From: Carrol Cox rc-am wrote: > perhaps one must first decide whether one is a marxist or a leninist? If all you want to do is to spin academic reveries I suppose this opposition works. But if you are interested in the process of actually building a working class opposition to capital, then Marxism = Leninism (though I agree with Lou Proyect neither = Marxism-Leninism). To reject Lenin in such a flat way is quite simply to opt for the eternal rule of capital, to reduce Marx to an interesting academic philosopher. This is not an argument but a statement of a standpoint, but neither is Angela's post an argument.
