We go in with our program, and a newspaper specifically for the party. We're thinking about going into the Spanish CP, because it's an alternative to the Socialist Party there.<br /><br />It may be worth going to a meeting of the LCP.Frank Partisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536211653082893030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24861026.post-39309963489782512532009-12-12T17:15:27.362+02:002009-12-12T17:15:27.362+02:00Haven't you read Lenin comrade Farfahinne?

As long as the world functions in exactly how Marx, and later Trotsky, Rosa, ... etc framed it, we have no choice but to be radical marxists (although we have to revamp new tactics away from the LCP's logic of propaganda). Besides, you see me changing ideologies and becoming part of Yassar Democrati (hence: Capitalist From Lebanon). Farfahhine, I know from your blog you are very active, and you are not new at all :), your experience shows it. <br /><br />Renegade, I fully apologize for not able to write to you again, these two weeks drained me from work. In response to your arguement, you are right about building on older infrastructure as Lenin recommended, problem is that over here we have nothing to build on. The Lebanese Communist Party may have around 8000 members or so, but still, the party has no clue what it is doing. Couple of years ago, I was reading their magazine whose editorial started with "A Salute to Comrade Stalin". <br /><br />Several attempts took place to put a new infrastructure, and the LCP regarded it as a threat (the LCP always tries to behave as the center of the axis of the left in Lebanon without allowing any space for others to form). There is a huge stock of leftists in Lebanon, and even some members of the right-wing parties are there because they lost hope of the situation and decided to be 'realists'. Check my "Investigation of the Lebanese Left" series, I wrote them two years ago. <br /><br />Hanzala, will talk more often. Don't give up hope yet, if we the progessive forces cannot stick togather, we can as well give up and join AMAL or Tayyar or Lebanese Forces or Future --> Easier option for our lives, but the real option to our conscience.MarxistFromLebanonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02742943269564177293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24861026.post-18856066124567538882009-12-10T14:37:38.478+02:002009-12-10T14:37:38.478+02:00you touched me with what u wrote...

Most of the leftists jump between ultraleftism and reformism. They can't explain their situation.<br /><br />The Great Depression started in 1929. From that time to 1934, the US Communist Party lost about 40% of its members. The economy got a little better, than next thing you know Communist parties are leading strikes all over the country.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.marxists.org/archive/trotsky/1923/04/capdevel.htm" rel="nofollow">/a</a> article by Trotsky, from his book <i>Problems of Everyday Life</i> is complicated, but deals with what you are talking about. I think you'll get a lot from this article.<br /><br />With struggle in decline, my comrades attend events to keep our place. In the meantime the more experienced comrades are studying more complicated material, while newer comrades are reading basics.<br /><br />Strengthen your core group now while you can.<br /><br />Darko: You didn't win or lose, the game is on.Frank Partisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536211653082893030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24861026.post-26539735662303973782009-11-25T21:07:48.528+02:002009-11-25T21:07:48.528+02:00well dont know if u meant it or not, but i'll ...well dont know if u meant it or not, but i'll take this article as an answer on my comment on the previous post. <br />Feels like the age of ideologies is dead.

Some leftist radicals are going crazy. They can't explain the period, they respond with ultraleftism.<br /><br />In quiet periods it's best to solidify cadre, teach theory and get your comrades strong so when things explode, you're ready.
