We’re starting off with a very short one for the first week. This text was published in 1915, two years before the October revolution, and is sadly still highly relevant in the imperial core.
This reading group is meant to educate, and people from any instances federated with Lemmygrad are welcome. Any comments not engaging in good faith will be removed (don’t respond to hostile comments, just report them).
You can post questions or share your thoughts at any time. We’ll be moving on to a new text next week, but this thread won’t be locked.
You can read the text here.
I think ultimately all communists should seek victory and topple their bourgeois goverments, but in certain circunstamces it should be understood that there is a larger struggle at place. The CPC and the KMT understood this and established a temporary alliance to fight the larger threat, we should learn this historical lesson.
The US has historically been very succesful at channeling these inner grievances between factions in other nations for their own advantage, Syria being the most recent example.
I think the Russian communist party is big enough to try and do something.
