Exporting the Revolution - Do it or not?

[Nobody]

Should any government, Communist or not, export their form of government to other nation? Is it moral? Was Che's actions in trying to spark revolts all over acceptable? I relieze that many of us accept Che as a hero to the woking class, as do I. But than again many of us think the U.S. trying to impose capatalism on other countries is wrong. wat do you say?

Is it moral?
Would you care to explain what you mean by 'moral'. I would recommend reading Trotskys Their morals and ours.

certainly, the only alternative is socialism in one country. while revolution and the move towards socialism may result in deaths, the ends justifies the means, with in the long run many people not dieing who under capitalism would.

i wouldnt say it is wrong, its just an inevitable expression of the capitalist economy which they are under.

Of course, a socialist country has a proletarian duty to "export" revolution.

If we ever get the chance to do that, let's try to do it intelligently.

We have plenty of lessons in how not to do it.
