dear Nestor,

Please read my  reply again .
It clearly places the chronological context of my attack on
 fake marxist support of bourgeois  liberal
leaders and organizations  to "......in this age" etc.
I.e. the modern imperialist age (at least for marxists).

We should all study Marx-Engels works, but they are
not to be considered  understood as religious scriptures , 
esp. as Marx-Engels were writing-organizing in the
19th cent. For example  Nestor, Marx-Engels supported
European social democracy as a socialist-revolutionary 
current in the 1870s-90s. Do you think they would not 
have altered their position fundamentally  on this circa 
1914,  etc. etc.?

Capitalist movements/nations/economies develpment 
 had changed qualiatively the tactics/strategies of the workers 
struggles by the  early 20th cent, and the present "globalizations'
of capital mean workers movements/groups need again 
to seriously re-think many old  outmoded methods. So we
really need to see Marxist science in a scientific, a
materialist/dialectic way.

Neil
