What Communist School of thought do you most associate with yourself? Independents just choose what's closest.

I voted Marxism/Lenninism, although I prefer to be independent, and my thought has been influenced by a wide variety of thinkers. But overall, Lenin is integral to my views regarding the concept of a state...

Mixture of Marxism, Leninism, and Castroism I guess.

I'd say Marxism-Leninism is the most effective.

Haha everyone voted Marxism-Leninism. Marx is the first intial peprson to develop the theory and Lenin is the obvious continuation.

Well, its more, in my own opinion, that Marx developed the economic side of the theory, whereas Lenin's realm was very much the political one. Without "State and Revolution," where would communist theory be?

State and revolution...isnt' so much a Marxist idea as it was more relevant to Russia.

I meant more in the context that he turned AMrxism away from the revisionist ideas of Kautsky.

Meh, generally Left-Communist. Mix of influences... obviously Marx, plus Rosa Luxemburg, Trotsky, and a couple Anarchists. So you know I piss people off.

Unless your going around saying Communists suck, Marx was an idiot and Bakunin, Communists are too naieve , or Communism itself goes about everything completely wrong. I'm not upset.

I don't think you say anything like that so currently you are pretty high in my list of people I don't hate.

What State and Revolution did really was to adapt the ideas of Marxism to Lenin's context... Marx himself hadn't written much about the role of the state, whereas Lenin built upon what little Marx did write about it. But the entire idea of the dictatorship of the proletariat, of a socialist government being a dying government, etc... that was Lenin at his finest.
