The Disarmament Slogan - Lenin
Marxism and War: Study Guide With Links to Further Reading - Phil Mitchinson
The Military Programme of the Proletarian Revolution - Lenin
This
work of Lenin's is an important read. It clarifies the important
differences between revolutionary wars and reactionary, predatory wars,
stressing that Marxists are not opposed to all war. The vital question
is the following: "in whose class interests is any given war being
waged?" Lenin notes that every oppressor class in history has been
armed against the oppressed, and that it would not be possible to use
strictly peaceful means to overthrow an oppressor class. He also
elaborates on fighting opportunism in every field of proletarian
politics.
