Lars Lih: Lenin and Political Freedom

[Brosa Luxemburg]

I saw this video and thought it was very interesting and decided to share it. Lars Lih basically makes the claim that, in Europe, before 1914 the most dogmatic, revolutionary, informed, Marxists were champions of political freedom while after 1914 it was the opposite, they were opponents of it. He shows that Lenin can be a poster-boy for both sides and why. I would continue on what else he says, but just watch it youself.:D It is an hour long, so kick back, relax, and listen to some Marxism!
