I've always considered myself a Marxist-Leninist, but I can't say I agree with Lenin's idea of creating a world wide republic of the soviets. Perhaps separate countries are arbitrary and pointless, but I don't want to see them disappear, mostly because I think diversity is one of the strengths and good things of the world. Do all Marxist-Leninists accept this idea of Lenin's?
Yes, a false sense of pragmatism also envelopes in "Marxist-Leninsts". Not long after their show off their fetish for industrial progress worse than any capitalist can.

Not true, how are you even figuring this?
Internationalism will happen as more and more as we see currently human civilizations are doing like begining to industrialize and continue to advance into an age where people stop caring about arbitrary things like race and other differences etc...
With that happening, it is obvious more and more countries and people will be working and trading together anyways, at least (In theory anyways) if there instead these soviets in this world wide republic will be acting in a more humane socialist viewpoint.
Because discontinuing equality and snatching liberty away from other tendencies is okay as long as you build stuff. So is watching people slave over the construction of factories to promote "growth". In it's entirety the idea just makes life miserable in another way.
