Just what exactly is wrong with Leninism? you have accused the participant on this page of spouting their own particular doctrine rather than effective change but you yourself begin by embarking upon a my ideology is the true and only ideology path.

Comrade all ideas have relevence because together they create a step by step plan for revolutionary society and ways it can be improved (or rather by studing the failures of others we can strive not to repeat them).

You are clearly an anarchist and I find that with your ideology a great deal of impatience is apparent. Revolution can not be brought about by individual often violent action. The stage of human conciousness that you seek to create will take years to emerge an can not become immediatly apparent through the abolition of the state.

Class war also implies the existance of classes and classes are created by economics which exist regardless of the state and would exist just as oppressively if not more so if you abolished the state.
