MARXISM Vs IMPERIALISM !!!

[Guest guest]

" Probably me being daft, but I'm not quite sure which side you're on - pro

war or anti. "

 

" All the Marxists I know believe that the best way to bring about an end to

Capitalism is by educating the normal people how the imperialists are using

them - that way the people will demand a change to the systems that

currently govern us - they are, without exception, pacifists - if you go to

the anti-war March on Sunday, you'll be able to meet several thousand of

them "

 

 

Hello, what do the words " Defeat the imperialists! " mean to you?

 

Yep, Lenin (you know, the guy who led the Russian Revolution) had some very

unkind things to say about " the Marxists " who were " without exception,

pacifists " ! Karl Marx WAS NOT A PACIFIST! It is no good saying you are

against imperialist war and preaching pacifism to the people because

pacifism is never going to destroy the imperialist war machine. If you are

against imperialist war then you must " educate " the people in the spirit of

insurrection and civil war to DEFEAT the imperialists. That was the

Bolshevik policy of " revolutionary defeatism " ! PEACE to the COTTAGES, WAR to

the PALACES! Let's have some of that! Or are you just going to go on banging

your little drum and singing " we shall overcome " forever? Yeah, that's

really got the US Air Force worried, hasn't it? Let's sing it one more time,

shall we? Everyone knows the typical Guardian readers' " criticism " of war is

full of shit, affected, shallow and hypocritical because everyone knows who

these people stand behind when capitalist profits are really threatened!

 

" MAO MORE THAN EVER! "

I think you are being a little harsh.

 

Just because you might not frighten the US airforce, is no reason not to

stand up and be counted for what you believe in.

I agree with you that the only way for things to improve is for the

population themselves to overthrow the leaders, but at the same time I think

it is definitely wrong for America and Britain to be bombing the Afghan

people - and because of that I am prepared to be seen as being against the

war.

I think I would probably agree with you, but I don't like the ways

newspapers manipulate so the last time I bought one was 34 years ago. I

don't give monetary support to things I don't like.
