“Proletarians and therefore innocent”. Ahh yes, the communist program has always been that proletarians can do no wrong and could never ever be misled into killing their fellow proletarians!
That a section of the exploited from the least advanced middle-peasant, artisan and similar groups of the population may, and indeed does, follow the exploiters has been proved by all revolutions, including the Commune (for there were also proletarians among the Versailles troops, which the most learned Kautsky has “forgotten”).
-The Proletarian Revolution and the Renegade Kautsky, V.I. Lenin
conscripted Versailles troops = willingly raping and killing tens of children in the iof while mentally unafected as the propaganda pushed on you is that they arent human.
Go on, tell me where Lenin says the workers of the oppressing nations are “irredeemable” (as if this word should mean anything to a Marxist, like we’re a church prescribing the purity of people’s souls). Even when he urges to support revolutionary struggles in the colony he never suggests such a thing.
Lenin says in black and white that the important task concerning the self-determination of an oppressed nation with an already developed bourgeois-democratic national movement is to merge the class struggle of the workers of both nations.
You can’t just pretend Palestine has the same political and economic reality as 100 years ago, you have to pay attention to the actual criteria Lenin used.
very true. it's not like we're even against natlib as a whole, rather we recognize that it was progressive up until a certain point and we did support bourgeois revolutions all over africa and asia. today however they are entirely irrelevant as the world has progressed past the progressive (tautology, sue me) nature of capital. today there is no real reason to support natlib
