Regarding the thought of Lenin
We are filled with joy for being abled to publish this english translation of the Article "Acerca del Pensamiento de Lenin" from the magazine "El Maoísta" Issue 2. We once again want to mention the english translation of another article of said issue: "Lenin and the Militarized Communist Party".
Proletarians of all countries, unite!
Regarding the thought of Lenin1
There is dogmatic Marxism and creative Marxism. I stand by the latter.
- Stalin -
In the current document, we tried to show how the thought of Lenin developed, from guiding thought of the Russian revolution to Leninism, the second stage of the development of Marxism. Some might say, that such an effort is unnecessary and only an historical interest, but we think that such persons are wrong, because the correct comprehension of what a guiding thought is, is an issue of live and death of the communists of the world, of victory and defeat.

Peace in Afghanistan?
Last week, the US President Trump met with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan in Washington and praised the alleged progress in the "peace efforts" in Afghanistan. He announced the further withdrawal of the US troops, emphasizing that Afghanistan was not a war, cause he could win a war within a week, but he didn´tt want to kill 10,000,000 people. How ever the reality looks very different.
In the first three weeks of July, there were several attacks against the imperialist occupiers and their lackeys.
On July 7, resistance fighters launched an attack on a police post, with a car bomb, in Ghazni in the center of the country. At least eight security forces were killed and many others injured in the action.
In a suicide bombing at a wedding ceremony in eastern Afghanistan, on July 12, the head of a pro-government militia was killed.
In two attacks in the cities of Qala-e-Naw in the province of Baghdhis in western Afghanistan and in Sayed Abad in Wardak, on July 13, south of Kabul, a total of five army personnel were killed, including one US soldier.
In Kandahar, also in the center of Afghanistan, attackers stormed a police headquarters on July 18 and detonated suicide bomb in front of the building. Two policemen were killed and others injured.
In another attack on a police post in western Farah, four policemen were killed and two wounded on July 23.
On July 24, a Croatian soldier was killed by a suicide bomb attack and two others seriously injured.
On July 25, a minivan, staffed with government detainees, was blown up with a bomb and two suicide bombers. Nine government employees were killed in this attack.
During the night of July 25 to 26, several police stations in the northern province of Takhar were attacked. The rebels killed 13 members of the Afghan National Police and 24 police special forces.
Peace or peace efforts look different. Although the US has been negotiating with the Taliban for a long time, the Afghan people will never accept imperialist occupation. And Trump is right, the US could win a war of exermination against Afghanistan within a week, but they would not mind. On the one hand, the Afghan government is a puppet regime of the United States, and on the other hand, a country without a population can no longer be exploited for the interests of the imperialists.

General Strike in Ecuador
From the 16th until the 19th of July a nation-wide strike took place in Ecuador for five days in a row. The strike, which was called out by multiple organizations among them workers unions and indigenous and peasant organizations, was aimed against the politics of current president Lenin Moreno. Ecuador is going through an economic, political and social crisis and the people of Ecuador where having no more of it.
This crisis is mostly being caused by US-imperialism, which is imposing a series of reforms in Ecuador through the IMF and the World Bank. The effects of these reforms, such as the mass firing of workers from the health sector, the budget cuts in the health and education sectors and the rise of fuel and electricity prices are felt throughout Ecuadorian society.

De Rugy in freedom, the worker’s militant in prison
France’s environment minister François de Rugy last week announced the resignation from his post after being caught up in what came to be known internationally and in France as the “lobster-affair”. While the yellow vest movement put France in turmoil, the masses rebelled against their miserable conditions and turned their hatred against institutions and personnel of the state and capital, de Rugy was renovating his flat and giving lavishing banquets for his buddies in industry and politics on the dime of the working people of France.
