  2. And no, you can´t use the argument "but Lenin changed his mind after the Russian revolution" *since Russia is no longer a workers´ state* and arguably neither is China.

  6. Det är från "A Caricature of Marxism and Imperialism Economism", slutet av femte sektionen: "Imperialism is as much our "mortal" enemy as capitalism. That is so. No Marxist will forget, however, that capitalism is progressive compared to feudalism, and that imperialism is progressive compared to pre-monopoly capitalism. Hence, it is *not* every struggle against imperialism we should support. We will *not* support a struggle of the reactionary classes against imperialism; we will *not* support an uprising of the reactionary classes against imperialism and capitalism".

    Mannen på bilden är Hibatullah Akhundzada, som betraktas som talibanernas nuvarande högste ledare.

  7. I förbigående sagt har jag aldrig förstått vilka konkreta situationer Lenin kan tänkas syfta på. Mahdi-revolten i Sudan i slutet av 1800-talet? "Boxarna" i Kina?
