Quote taken from
The Long Transition Towards Socialism and the End of Capitalism - Torkil Lauesen
"The hallmark of a Marxist is to have an analysis, strategy, and praxis for the context in which one is situated. The communists in the Global North must include the anti-imperialist struggle, and thereby the struggle against their own states’ imperialism, as a centerpiece in their strategy."
