Any thoughts on the Fifth International?
Sorry for interrupting your heated discussion with the left-coms, but on a related note, any thoughts on the implications for national liberation in these two cases? http://www.revleft.com/vb/three-worl...814/index.html
And perhaps not.
With your remarks on the SWP, economism and opportunism, perhaps you'll better appreciate the "neo-Kautskyist" emphasis on class demographics and policy propagandism (as opposed to vulgarized "links with the class" as the euphemism).
Just for the record, I really don't care for your snide comments when they are made outside of forum threads. Unless I have to expose your nonsense for what it is in front of others, I really have no interest in it.
I did cite Kautsky's The Road to Power in Post #9: "Lenin's definition of a revolutionary period was derived entirely from Kautsky (mass hostility towards the regime, organized party-movement opposed to the regime, working-class majority support for that party-movement, breakdown in the army and civil bureaucracy)."
No problem.
Thanks for the reference.
How knowledgeable are you of Trotsky's Transitional Program? A fellow Trotskyist started this thread and wanted input: http://www.revleft.com/vb/nationalis...489/index.html
1. I doubt you have anything to teach about Israeli history. 2. I fail to see how your quip about Hizb Allah is relevant or interesting. 3. My opinion of Hizb Allah is that it is a reactionary organization, willing to sell out its supporters to the pro-Western government, and that Marxists in Lebanon must build a revolutionary alternative to it. That, however, does not change the fact that it is the duty of revolutionaries to advocate for its victory when attacked by Israeli imperialism.
