Or be it colonialism?
which lands?
Eastern Europe and all her peoples, any countries in South America and Africa, promotion of revolutionary movements in Asia and elsewhere
Lenin and Stalin respected the right of nations to self-determination
Would not an emperor subvert his neighbors and colonize foreign barbarians who-do-not-know-the-true-way
they both wrote about it
of course they have to promote revolutionary movements when possible
they're not doing coups, they're helping revolutionaries
Incorporating sovereign nations into a singular unions doesn't sound much like self determination, neither does the suppression of nationalist movements.
@Deleted User inti-imperialism may look like imperialist to an uneducated eye.
Yes I am uneducated because I can see a system for what it is
>helping revolutionaries
@Deleted User you see only the outside.
the working class can achieve total liberation only in world socialism; the capitalist bloc won't let them have peace
Yes and we were helping revolutionaries during the Afghan war
The end goal is not communism? Socialism is not a transition state to utopia?
yes the end goal is communism
but first you need world socialism
what did she mean by this
no, the union is voluntary and only possible after world socialism
And do you see a corrupt neo-bourgeois run union of unwilling and brutally subverted states as 'world socialism'?
if they're bourgeois they can't be socialist
the bourgeoisie are the ones owning the means of production
they can be petit, big...
on the other side the proletariat, those who don't own them
And if the workers control the means of production are they not the bourgeois in place of the old?
Not to say the workers as the bourgeois is what I am criticizing
Quite the opposite really
no, because they can't exploit other workers with the means
since they're collectively owned not privately owned
Promising sovereignty through a representative union to the court is not my idea of a prole dictatorship
Bourgeois means to control the means of production
Have you not read Marx?
it is, dictatorship of the proletariat means the proletariat having power over the bourgoisie, at the contrary that the dictatorship of the capital
The collective becoming the bourgeois and eliminating their oppression is the very essence of communism
no
that would be distributism
the economy isn't privately owned
the means
