Markin: What is the difference between your slogan now and "Out Now" from the reformist SWP during the Vietnam war (or the anti-war popular front today)?
ReplyDeleteDidn't Lenin insist that revolutionaries must call for the defeat of their own imperialist ruling class in a war?
Revolutionary defeatism was a slogan, for a particular audience, at a particular time. It was not a principle. In addition Trotsky opposed that slogan.
