Lenin: State and revolution:1. The State: A Product of the Irreconcilability of Class Antagonisms What is now happening to Marx’s theory has, in the course of history, happened repeatedly to the theories of revolutionary thinkers and leaders of oppressed classes fighting for emancipation. During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it. Today, the bourgeoisie and the opportunists within the labor movement concur in this doctoring of Marxism. They omit, obscure, or distort the revolutionary side of this theory, its revolutionary soul. They push to the foreground and extol what is or seems acceptable to the bourgeoisie. All the social-chauvinists are now “Marxists” (don’t laugh!). And more and more frequently German bourgeois scholars, only yesterday specialists in the annihilation of Marxism, are speaking of the “national-German” Marx, who, they claim, educated the labor unions which are so splendidly organized for the purpose of waging a predatory war! In these circumstances, in view of the unprecedently wide-spread distortion of Marxism, our prime task is to re-establish what Marx really taught on the subject of the state.

A monstrous landslide after record rainfall in Japan left fifteen dead and dozens missing. Biblical flooding in Germany has caused hundreds of deaths with many more unaccounted for. More than a million acres of the west coast of North America are on fire after temperatures soared to 122°F (49.9°C). Will this be the moment we woke up and demanded action? Or will it be the coolest summer of the rest of our lives? With the planet only warming by just over a degree, natural-disaster loss events have more than tripled in the past forty years. Since 2004, the number of events has already doubled. What can we expect to happen if we continue on our current path?

Comrade Ulaş lived relentlessly, like an adventurer, and knitted his life in the pursuit of revolutionary ideals. From high school to university campuses, from streets to barricades, from worker strikes to boycotts, from resistance squares to free areas-mountains, he built his revolutionism with an uninterrupted struggle. He fought against whatever was holding back the struggle against status quo, power and liquidationism; rejected insufficient and incomplete revolutionism. His fight with himself has always thrown him forward; He won the great war against his ego and always acted in line with the needs of the revolution. On the basis of the revolutionary break, the Communard leapt forward, both intellectually and practically, to create a new revolutionary construction and founding. He carried his struggle from the Gezi barricades to the Kobane war in order to realize his revolutionary ideals and claims, and devoted himself to the fight as a whole. He created his revolutionism in the ring of fire. Comrade Ulaş Adalı had a simple, selfless, modest and laboring stance in his life, and he was the organizer of this stance in his comrades. It is positioned in the struggle for revolution in a disinterested and uncalculated way. As a militant and pioneer who devoted his life to the revolution, he knew how to be an indomitable warrior and commander on the battle fronts and in the line of fire.
