Yes, they have a nice library.
This came in very handy when i was doing my research on utopianism a few years back.

I wonder if Vladimir Lenin ever did a wake 'n' bake?

I wonder if Vladimir Lenin ever did a wake 'n' bake?

This question has puzzled scholars for decades.
I can reveal to you now that the answer to your question is hidden in this text:
http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/bacon/1626/new-atlantis/index.htm

The next morning he came to me again, joyful as it seemed, and said: “There is word come to the governor of the city, that one of the fathers of Salomon’s House will be here this day seven-night; we have seen none of them this dozen years. His coming is in state; but the cause of this coming is secret. I will provide you and your fellows of a good standing to see his entry.”

One thing I consider when thinking about marxism, leninism, and later communism, is whether these systems led to the scale of destruction and death, or it was bound to happen after the tsardom fell.

In other words: Were these individuals, Lenin, Trocki and other leaders capable of this, or did they need this ideological/scholarly system from Marx.
Wouldn't the similar thing happen if there was a republic or a monarchy?

 

[Ex-User (9062)]

The answer is "war communism", which was the state that the Russian people never quite got out of until the fall of the Soviet Empire.

And then there are other aspects that play into this tragedy,
like Lenin being a German Agent,
Stalin most likely poisoning Lenin to get into his position of power,
Stalin persecuting and eliminating his former "comrades", including Trotsky,
Personality worship, intrigues which in turn led to Stalin having a little accident, etc. etc.
(The interesting thing here is that Stalin worked for the tsarist secret police Okhrana)

This ultimately had its impact on an intellectual level as well.
For instance Lysenkoism, Scientific communism/Marxism-Leninism/Stalinism/Anti-Revisionism which put Lenin and Stalin respectively into the Marx-Engels line of great thinkers, which i think has been a grave mistake, just as Maoism has been etc.

Well the beginning of soviet Russia could be desribed by vanguardism and war communism.

The rest are my thoughts more or less.

Regarding Marxist.net: seems ok, but if you want a really great resource for historical texts and socio-political-philosophical information, regardless of your preference for or against marxism, people should really check out Marxists.org, which is a vast archive of texts and nothing else.

I find the texts of Kropotkin and Trotsky rather interesting.

Also, in a similar vein, the anarchist library.

I find a distinct lack of foreign intervention in the Civil War

 

[Ex-User (9062)]

Of course, without foreign intervention "war communism" would not have been necessary.
