[Carlos Petroni <cepetroni@xxxxxxxxx>]

Anthony Boynton:  It is always a pleasure reading from you. Thanks for the 
comments on Permanent Revolution. I await the next installment.  Meanwhile, few 
comments on your post:

- Good quotations from Marx's 1850's address.  We can also find traces of that 
position, particularly regarding Germany in the Communist Manifesto.

- Engels will revisit Marx's positions on the same theme in the 1870s and 
around the question of the Paris Commune, in fact those ideas are the ones that 
made Engels declare the Communist Manifesto outdated and already a "Historical 
document" rather than the program it was before the Commune.

- Lenin's April theses is the beginning, not the culmination of Lenin's 
approach to the question. But the April theses are strikingly "Trotskyists" 
even if also contains a kind of apology for having had complicated, I think he 
saqid geometrical instead of aritmethical political formulas.

- Wondering how these guys (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky...) would have written 
about Lula, Kirchner, Morales, Chavez... of course, this is just a rethorical 
wondering.

On another issue: tell us something aobut the left after the recent elections 
and something about the so called "left" that came out second, right after 
Uribe, but kind of 35% behind.  Also, what was the level of abstention... sorry 
for the diversion, trying to save space...
