>Communism is the real movement that abolishes the present state of things. It is a living science that must be checked against real-world material conditions and adjusted accordingly
>Karl Kautsky is a dirty revisionist! REVISIONIST REVISIONIST! HE SULLIED THE SACRED NAME OF MARX!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Why are Leninists so fucking stupid? For reference, Kautsky was Engels' direct intellectual heir.
>>2461276sure, lenins anti kautsky agitprop is an insufficient doc to base your entire understanding of imperialism on, as leftoids tend to, but if you actually knew some history youd know everyone after they saw kautskys betrayal mentioned how they were blinded by his position, how in retrospect they could see his bullshit from the start, but you can see from his first scribblings in retrospect the thread of opportunism, like its plainly obvious that postwar kautsky is the same as prewar
>>2461285funnily enough all the morons who think imperialism is rubbish like "unequal exchange" between countries and big country dominate le small country are more closely aligned with bernstein and kautsky than lenin
>>2461276Lenin was wrong about everything
his theory of imperialism is liberal theory under a marxist guise
an actual theory of world trade would be nice but Marx's Capital is unfinished and everyone (from Kautsky to Lenin to Bernstein) have interpreted it "historically" while as a matter of fact there is no inherent difference
>>2461356>completely betrayed internationalismEh, 75% betrayed it imo. He did vote against the war in internal votes, only when he was outvoted did he go along with it.
Lenin didn't know that though since the internal vote was secret. Common democratic centralism L.
