	H.3 What are the myths of state socialism? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Firstly, it gave Marxists even more potential to portray anarchism as being primarily against the state and not as equally opposed to capitalism, hierarchy and inequality (as we argue in section H.2.4, anarchists have opposed the state as just one aspect of class society).
		The Leninist perspective is to see the revolutionary party as the leadership of the working class, introducing socialist consciousness into a class which cannot generate itself (see section H.5.1).
		Thus the fact that Leninists have appropriated libertarian (and working class) ideas and demands does not, in fact, mean that we aim for the same thing (as we discuss in section H.3.1, this is far from the case).

	A reply to Louis Proyect's "A Marxist Critique of Bakunin"
		Marxists who participated in the movements of the sixties tend to have a sharper appreciation of the importance of social and cultural equality, and of living according to our values in the present, than did many members of previous generations of Marxist activists.
		Equally, such Marxists as Trotsky stressed that the key problem facing the working class was, precisely, the problem of leadership (as he put it, "the historical crisis of mankind is reduced to the crisis of the revolutionary leadership").
		Such notable Marxists as Kautsky and Lenin (who simply repeated Kautsky's orthodox position) argued that socialist ideas are not developed by workers by their own efforts but rather are injected into the labour movement from outside (by the radical middle class).

	Marxism-Leninism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lenin himself never used the term "Leninism," nor did he refer to his views as "Marxism-Leninism." However, his ideas diverged from classical Marxist theory on several important points (see the articles on Marxism and Leninism for more information,) and it became evident that a new name was required to describe his ideology.
		After Lenin's death, his ideology and contributions to Marxist theory were termed "Marxism-Leninism," or sometimes only "Leninism." Marxism-Leninism soon became the official name for the ideology of the Comintern and of communist parties around the world.
		Several Communist parties, especially those previously associated with Eurocommunism, have distanced themselves from the concept of Marxism-Leninism and in many cases have omitted it from their official documents.

	March 2001
		Marxists believe their historical perspective is based strictly on a scientific view of the world, and that this scientific approach makes their view better suited than any other to interpret history.
		This is the crucial proposition for the Marxist view of history and, indeed, for the Marxist worldview.
		Thus it appears that, for the Marxist, economics is the only dynamic force in history, and all other aspects of mankind and his society are determined by it.

	Parecon & Marxism - 4 (ZNet Blog) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The first fault, potentially correctable even while one is a Marxist, is a relative conceptual over-attentiveness to class and its associated economic sphere of life and parallel/derivative conceptual under-attentiveness to race, gender, sexuality, and political position and the associated kinship, cultural, and political spheres of social life.
		Importantly, any particular individual Marxist will do better or worse on these matters depending not only on how mechanically he or she holds to narrow economic and class concepts, but depending also on his or her familiarity with and use of other perspectives when thinking about relations and developing agendas.
		For many Marxists, particularly in groups that work hard to attain and maintain a collective identity, such innovation violates a major tenet about the priority of class and economy, and if it is ever undertaken at all, later, under pressure of events, it tends to be jettisoned.

	Declaration of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM)
		From this reality flows the Leninist view, confirmed by history, that the world proletarian revolution is composed essentially of two streams - the proletarian-socialist revolution waged by the proletariat and its allies in the imperialist citadels and the national liberation, or new democratic revolution waged by the nations and peoples subjugated to imperialism.
		It would be extremely irresponsible, and contrary to the Marxist theory of knowledge, to fail to attach adequate importance to experience gained and lessons learned in the course of mass revolutionary struggles of millions of people and paid for by countless martyrs.
		The October Revolution was the living confirmation of Lenin's vital development of the Marxist theory of the proletarian revolution and the dictatorship of the proletariat.

	Declaration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It is only in recent years that I have myself, come to appreciate fully the importance of this aspect of the forces of production, (the instruments of production) to gain a complete understanding of the underlying cause of the collapse of those socialist states that embarked on and arose from the two-stage revolution.
		As a consequence, an amendment to the Marxist Declaration (1996) is well overdue, to clarify and bring into full view the importance of the stage of development of the instruments of production within the Soviet forces of production in the Soviet era.
		The claim that the process followed, in establishing the Soviet Union, is compatible with the Marxist laws of social development upon which scientific-socialism rests, has to be declared as false and the reason for doing so fully explained to all socialists.

	16 - Is a Marxist-Leninist Party Needed? by Danny Rubin >
		Where I want to go is to a Marxist party, - not of the old type, but one which is sufficiently large and such a center of attraction of the left that it can seriously seek to become a mass Party of 500,000 to a million members or more and with a vote commensurately larger.
		That doesn't mean there isn't room for broad left formations but they are not a substitute for the mass democratic and the mass democratic movement will not gradually and eventually join the broadly-left formation, even though some day they will come to its politics through their own experience and organizational forms.
		This is especially so if the broad left properly relates to the mass, and if the socialists and Marxists have their own forms and properly develop relations with all the rest.

	Marxist
		Marxists are willing to call for a one-world dictatorship of the proletariat because they expect to control it.
		In Marxist political theory, the Marxist/Leninist party acts as the guiding force for the working class and, once in power, the enforcer of socialist laws.
		The Marxist believes that once every trace of bourgeois ideology and all the stains of capitalist tradition have been eradicated, i.e., once all classes are eliminated, a fully communist society will exist.

		Unlike members of Leninist parties, whose daily lives are generally similar to present bourgeoisie lifestyles, Anarchist organizational structures and lifestyles, through communal living arrangements, affinity groups, squatting, etc., attempt to reflect the liberated society of the future.
		The position by the Leninists of the necessity for a dictatorship to protect the revolution was not proven in the Civil War which followed the Russian Revolution; in fact, without the support of the Anarchists and other Left-wing forces, along with the Russian people, the Bolshevik government would have been defeated.
		And then true to any dictatorship, it turned around and wiped out the Russian and Ukrainian Anarchist movements, along with their Left-wing opponents like the Mensheviks and Social Revolutionaries, and even ideological opponents in the Bolshevik Party were imprisoned and put to death.

	MARXIST-LENINIST REVOLUTIONARY ORGANISATION IN BRITAIN
		Marxists have always held that the objective mode of existence of the proletariat is as an international class but have not always put this into practice at political and organisational levels.
		The Leninist party consists of cadres whose first commitment in life is to the revolutionary struggle.
		Some of the cadres need to be full-time professional revolutionaries and the party should make the necessary financial and organisational arrangements to sustain these comrades on a long-term basis so that their energies are focused on their revolutionary work rather than struggling to live on a pittance.

	RevolutionaryLeft.com -> Marxism and Anarchism - Can there be a compomise?
		For example, a "classical" Marxist who advocates the beginning of the transition to communism on "day one" after the revolution (no intermediate "strong state" socialism) might discover that in practice the only difference would be one of terminology...rather trivial under the circumstances.
		Perhaps it will be the young Marxists who shake off all the old Leninist crap and the young anarchists who are not over-burdened with respect for their elders that will meet one another, over time, in the common struggle to establish the rule of the working class as a class.
		To be a "Marxist" in your view is to study and memorize "the holy words of the scriptures" without a moment's thought as to what these guys were really saying, much less why.

	Marxist "Science" and Revolutionary "Faith" in Nicaragua
		The geopolitical stakes in the conflict between Nicaragua's Marxist government and the so-called "contra" guerrillas are high--higher than most Americans realize.
		For example, when he examines the historical background of the FSLN's ideology, he discusses only those elements (the Nicaraguan tradition of revolt, the Sandino legend, the Marxism of the student subculture, the Cuban revolution) that the Sandinistas themselves acknowledge as having influenced their thinking and world view.
		A good analogy to the Marxist notion of the unity of theory and practice is the ancient Roman's custom of consulting auspices, or reading the entrails of beasts, before adopting a particular plan of battle.

		The Marxist position that there are no eternal values, and that the value system of different periods are closely linked with the socio-economic systems of each period has already been proven beyond doubt.
		When the people of the former socialist countries put the communist strategy of monopoly power for the party during the whole transitional phase of socialism on the dock of history, communists cannot remain satisfied with the consolation that this is the result of backward thinking among the people.

	MARXIST-LENINIST REVOLUTIONARY ORGANISATION IN BRITAIN
		On the contrary the strengths and weaknesses of the Leninist model in practice should be critically evaluated and the model developed accordingly.
		Nonetheless it is a matter of historical experience that other models of revolutionary organisation - such as the "spontaneism" of anarchists and council communists or the "mass party" approach of the PCF and PCI - have never brought about the achievement of proletarian power.
		This attitude towards revolutionary leadership is quite at odds with the Marxist approach which sees the thoughts and actions of leaders as expressions of the interests of parties and classes rather than the divine inspirations of individuals.

	A Plea for Conservative Radicals and Radical Conservatives
		Conservatives, for their part, suggest that the radicals’ emphasis on justice rather than freedom conceals Marxist sympathies or at least a culpable naïveté about the evils of communist totalitarianism.
		To be sure, Marxist-Leninists are there to exploit a valid desire for change, and since the Marxist-Leninists are ruthless and well organized, we who care about freedom as well as justice must not be blind to their totalitarian goals.

		More important, the actual Leninist cadre in every country were deracinated intellectuals (often colonials educated by Marxist-Leninist professors in the imperial centers of London, Paris, and Lisbon), who were generally ignorant of, and contemptuous or hostile toward, ethnicity, religion, and culture.
		The Marxist centralizing governments of Africa are descendants of the regimes of Western imperialism established in the late nineteenth century.
		Instead, the coercive centralizing regimes of these so-called "nations" were turned over to the deracinated Marxist intellectuals educated in the imperial capitals, who soon became a parasitic bureaucratic class taxing and oppressing the peaceful peasantry who constitute the bulk of the actual producers in Africa.

		The Marxist 'dictatorship of the proletariat' and the leninist party dictatorship, are two completely different things.
		Leninist thought is also more complex than 'simple' Marxism.

		But for Leninists, the fight for democracy is not an end in itself but only a means to an end.
		Despite the “Marxist” terminology that the Mensheviks gave it, it is a purely reformist position.

	Lenin in context (by L. Proyect)
		The next time you run into one of our latter-day "Marxist- Leninists" who trace their lineage to the historic split between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks in the Russian Social Democracy, give them a little quiz.
		Every member would of course have his or her interpretation of political questions, but once a decision had been made to build a strike or a demonstration, etc., it was incumbent upon each member to concentrate on building the action.
		Many contemporary "Leninists" attach some kind of apocalyptic meaning to the split at the second congress of the Russian Social Democracy in 1903 as if two radically different and irreconcilable sets of principles were counterposed to each other--Bolshevism and Menshevism.
