I wanted to respond here as not to derail the "Unity of the Libertarian Left" thread.

Caj suggested Herman Gorter as a Left Communist to read, and I agree strongly. His writing, Open Letter To Comrade Lenin, is an essential Left Communist text were Gorter refutes the thesis in Lenin's Left Wing Communism-An Infantile Disorder

I put a link to the text, btw.

I figured I would respond here about this as to not derail the other thread where this was brought up.

Many here do not consider Chomsky a true revolutionary leftist because he has constantly argued very bourgeois points. For example, he argues that the October Revolution was a "coup" (something most anarchists don't even argue) argues against revolutionary violence, has argued very Kautskyian points, etc.

Hey the progressive forum is up! http://www.socialprogress.bbster.net/

Would you be interested in a discussion of the Marx-Engels Reader 2nd Edition edited by Tucker? We're going to be starting the second reading.

Hey comrade, I didn't know you were still on RevLeft! This is my first time back on in forever.

You quoted Popper! Kudos bro! Have you read the "Open Society and Its Enemies?"
