Man, this was hard to watch. At first it was really fun watching her dunk on Vaush but then she segues into talking about Vietnam and Agent Orange and damn, it's hard stuff.

    I'll be honest, even after reading state and rev, I don't fully understand what Lenin's big deal with him was. I see like he wasn't strong enough against the SDP, but I'm not even sure if I'm getting that right.

      Here's one article that goes over that (note I don't totally agree with Lih here, he's being a bit provocative with the article title lol, but he's right about a lot of stuff imo). Basically Lenin thought (mostly rightly) that Kautsky was abandoning positions he once held that made more tactical sense then what he switched to doing (though Kautsky's self defenses are also probably worth reading).
