I'll leave it alone in the thread because the mods might get feisty, but re: "and I think Marx would agree..."
I am also a student of Lenin and Mao, and acknowledge that there are also the forces of imperialism which must be understood and opposed with equal vigor. Lenin, for his part, did not think that Russia's war against Germany was moral, despite many leftists in France and Britain thinking that it was.
since you're now the fourth or fifth person to tell me they can't PM me I'm going to finally PM a staff member about it.
