Re: AUT: Response to Mauro, jr. from "Commie00"

["battaglia comunista" <batcom@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tahir
no, we do not like to be defined as pro-Lenin, because nowadays it does mean almost
nothing (when not stalinism...). I was just a bit upset by the Commie00' assertions on
the basis of nothing.
As to your query it would be really a long work to fully reply. Trying a thumbnail
sketch, as you write, I'd say
- the fight for the militant party in What has to be done
- the marxist analysis of the imperialism (on the basis of the soc-dem,non-marxist,
Hilferding's work)
-and the work The State and Revolution.
Does it mean that we consider those texts as the Sacral Bible? No, but a methodological
legacy.
Then Lenin, for us, was wrong in some critical points (e.g. the "national question" in
the polemics with Roy and Sultan Zadeh, and  the stress in the conquest of the "majority"
in the European countries during the period 19-22, which - for instance - 'delayed' the
formation of the communist Party in Italy.)
Of course, all of these 'positive and negative aspects' can be 'academically discussed'
once we established the methodological ground, which basically consist in the refusing of
the easy explanation of the counter-revolution in Russia through the
"counterrevolutionary nature" of the bolshevik Party. If we took it for true, we would
completely abandon the historical materialism, imagining that a mass, social movement (an
historical event) as the October Revolution has been has been also characterized and
distorted by the satanic or angelic presence and action of a super-man (Lenin). For the
same reason we cannot charge the satanic Stalin to be the responsible of the counter
revolution; he's been the agent, the political leader of it, but sure not the cause.
Feel free to pillage our  web site, able to be searched,  for to have a clear idea of
what and how we think.
Int. greetings
