Some questions to the ICC.

[Little-Lenin]

:confused: Some questions: Does the ICC consider themselves Leninist? I believe a read some place that Bordiga and Onorato Damen said they were Lenins most devoted followers, and that they loved the USSR of Lenin, but hated the USSR of Stalin. What about the KAPD/KAPN and the Workers Dreadnought?

Could someone, preferable from the ICC (or/and IBRP) answer these questions?

In Solidarity,

Hi LL
We don't call ourselves Leninists. We consider Lenin to be part of our tradition, unlike the anarchists and councilists. But we are critical of some of his positions, eg on national liberatin, and consider that the term 'Leninism' was a product of the counter-revolution, or at best is highly confusing. have a look at these two articles

Hi LL. What do you think? Is the term Leninist important to you? Are you in favour of it or against it, or undecided? If you could explain this then it might help the discussion.

More than this, what does the term "Leninist" mean to you? That is, just what are you trying to ask? Certainly the ICC's position is not simply that it "they loved the USSR of Lenin, but hated the USSR of Stalin" (this wasn't Bordiga's or Damen's position either).
