| | The Question of Building a New Type of State |
| | Struggles against the anarchists during Marx-Engel’s time, struggles against the revisionists during Lenin’s time and struggles against the revisionists and dogmato-revisionists during Mao’s and our own time are principally centred on the question of state power. | | | Public life gradually falls asleep, a few dozen party leaders of inexhaustible energy and boundless experience direct and rule. | | | This is well articulated in this initial formulation by Marx himself: |

| | This was partly a reaction to the Methodenstreit when they attacked the Hegelian doctrines of the Historical School; Marxist authors have decried that the Austrian school as a "bourgeois" reaction to Marx. | | | The Austrian School were the first liberal economists to systematically challenge the Marxist school. | | | Political economy is essential to this vision, and Marx built on and critiqued the most well-known political economists of his day, the British classical political economists. |

| | Lenin is referring to the Central Committee's decision to dissolve its Southern Bureau, which had been agitating for the convening of the Third Party Congress. | | | On the great majority of questions the Iskra-ists carried the day; they predominated at the Congress, as is clear from the figures given above. | | | This refers to the Bonch-Bruyevich and Lenin Publishing House of Social-Democratic Party Literature, started by the Bolsheviks after the Menshevik editors of Iskra closed the columns of the paper to them and refused to print statements by Party oi~anisations and members upholdimog the Second Party Congress decisions and demanding the convening of the Third Congress. |

| | The Social-Democracy of Poland and Lithuania, which she led, was, if anything, far more highly centralized and far more merciless towards those in its ranks who deviated from the party's line, than was the Bolshevik party under Lenin. | | | In August 1908, Lenin cited Kautsky as his authority on the question of war and militarism as against Gustave Herve, and as late as February 1914, he invoked him again as a Marxian authority in his dispute with Rosa Luxemburg on the national question. | | | Luxemburg was right, she long ago understood that Kautsky had the highly-developed 'servility of a theoretician'..." |

| | The two-fold legacy of Rosa Luxemburg -- News & Letters, May 2004 |
| | Revolutionary politics is not a matter of ‘opinions,’ but of the truth on behalf of which one often is compelled to disregard the ‘opinion of the majority’ and to impose the revolutionary will against it.... | | | Luxemburg’s support for the Bolshevik Revolution and her opposition to the compromises and betrayals of the Cadets, the Mensheviks, and many other tendencies did not stop her from sharply critiquing Lenin and his associates for "making a virtue out of necessity" by stifling democratic deliberation and debate after the seizure of power. | | | One reflection of this was the debate which broke out a year ago, in April 2003, over the Cuban government’s decision to impose jail sentences (ranging from six to 28 years) on 75 dissidents and to summarily execute three Black Cubans who tried to commandeer a boat to Florida. |

| | Who was Leon Trotsky? |
| | Throughout the 1920s until his death at the hands of a Stalinist agent in 1940, Trotsky fought desperately to try and build a revolutionary socialist movement based on the principles of Marx and Lenin. | | | He became the most important leader, after Lenin, of the 1917 revolution, and organised and the led the Red Army against enormous odds to victory over the armies of two dozen imperial powers in the Civil War. | | | Indeed, under Stalinist manipulation, Communist Parties all over Europe were instructed to reject any united front with Social Democrats (the equivalent in those days to Aotearoa's Labour and Alliance parties) against fascism. |

| | There are underlinings, extracts in boxes, exclamations, quotations with emphases, brief marginalia, occasional reflections combined with a virtual absence of continuous narrative. | | | This included his call in 1922, not long before his death, for us to become "materialist friends of the Hegelian dialectic." That call is still timely today. | | | Lenin made mistakes, it can be argued, that undermined the radical socialist democracy that was his goal (disastrous mistakes can be found especially in the Civil War period of 1919Ð 1921, as he himself pointed out). |

| | Introduction to "Rosa Luxemburg or Lenin?" |
| | Luxemburg saw the role of the party as that of raising the existing consciousness of the class, not as arriving from outside and imposing ready-made schemas. | | | By then many of Luxemburg’s associates, who had founded and built up the party, had been expelled and were organised in the KPD (Opposition), whose theoretical weekly Gegen den Strom was. | | | The point being that Württemberg had been a stronghold of Spartakus, key KPD leaders came from there, and a layer of workers existed who had been schooled in Luxemburg’s understanding of Marxism. |

| | The other, more modest, tendency was formed by the fractions of the Trotskyist movement who opposed the order, adopted by the Fourth International, to defend the Russian “degenerated worker’s State” in the war, and refused to support the war effort. | | | “Third camp” (or “Third Front”) also means “Proletarian front” against the two imperialist fronts involved in the war. | | | These people who kept the flag of the communist revolution flying then, although they were constantly pursued, imprisoned and murdered by the forces of both camps, are today almost unknown and forgotten, even by those who defend their positions. |

| | This standpoint had been developed in the context of the war; economic sabotage was called for by the nationalist resistance. | | | In the case of revolutionary groups during the Second World War that danger was extraordinarily great, precisely because they stuck to the traditions of the First World War. | | | And those great revolutionaries, too, had been at the beginning of the First World War a negligible minority and among each other they had polemicised vehemently overjots and tittles; and yet, at the end of the First World War, their time had come. |

| | Mactyler's Communist Haven |
| | This is the thesis of permanent revolution - made necessary by the conditions of imperialism, formulated theoretically by Trotsky, adopted by Lenin in April 1917, and confirmed by the Russian Revolution and every other conflict in which it has been put to test. | | | This approach we call a Propaganda bloc and we totally reject it because, no matter in what absurd ultra left manner it is dressed up, it runs completely against the grain of the principle of the united front which is to gather many people together for a defined and limited objective. | | | We find it dispersed over a range of historical events (the Russian Revolution, the struggle of the Left Opposition), programmatic documents (the Communist Manifesto, documents of the first four Congresses of the 3rd International, founding documents of the 4th International), and theoretical texts (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Luxemburg, Trotsky). |
