Featured prominently on today's Socialist Worker (US) website is this great speech on Leninism by Paul Le Blanc: https://socialistworker.org/2017/04/24/how-is-leninism-relevant-today Unfortunately, the speech was delivered at the Russian Revolution centennial conference of Counterfire, the group behind the Assad-enabling Stop the War Coalition. I would hardly characterize apologetics for genocide as being within the Leninist tradition. We spend a lot of time on social media debating whether to try to stop reactionary speakers from presenting their views (a tactic I'm against); we also need to be discussing when revolutionaries should tell counterrevolutionaries where to stick their conference speaking invitations. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
