We’re starting off with a very short one for the first week. This text was published in 1915, two years before the October revolution, and is sadly still highly relevant in the imperial core.

This reading group is meant to educate, and people from any instances federated with Lemmygrad are welcome. Any comments not engaging in good faith will be removed (don’t respond to hostile comments, just report them).

You can post questions or share your thoughts at any time. We’ll be moving on to a new text next week, but this thread won’t be locked.

You can read the text here.

    This is what I took from this text:

    If you’re in a capitalist country and your country is at war, you can’t claim to have revolutionary ideals while also advocating against your country’s defeat/for its victory.

    Also, wow, this part has aged incredibly well: (“Discerning reader”: note that this does not mean “blowing up bridges”, organising unsuccessful strikes in the war industries, and in general helping the government defeat the revolutionaries.)
