Doesn't really belong in this section, but I wonder how long it'll be before someone corrects it.
This forum was founded to be a gathering place of Marxist-Leninists online but for the most part it's gathering cobwebs. That is, except for the odd guest who drops by to read dodger's posts.
So we need to promote this forum. How?
One approach we can try is to get ML sites and blogs to promote it. The Espresso Stalinist, the Red Phoenix, the people they link to, etc. seem like decent places to start.
Any ML, anti-revisionist, Maoist, Hoxhaist, whatever should be invited to join our forum.
If anyone has more ideas please post them.

Welcome Comrade, I've been away for a while and returned the other day to find the same as you. Even the estimable comrade dodger seems to have left the building. I have no idea how to reawaken this forum all we can do is hope someone like dodger sees your post and replies. In my opinion the situation throughout the world is returning to the situation prior to the 1917 revolution. A new world war seems likely at any time, hopefully we can be in a position to take full advantage. Now all we need is a new Lenin.

I don't think its accurate at all to say the world is returning to the pre-1917 situation. While it's fundamentally the same system that Lenin knew, the balance of power among the capitalist states is entirely different. Furthermore nuclear weapons change the whole issue of world war.
A new Lenin will rise when the time is right. We've had way too many pretenders. *cough* Avakian
And one thing that you can count on is a renaissance of Marxism. No doubt with hindsight they'll say Venezuela, etc. were precedents of that.
