In this small article Lenin discusses the role of Russia and other European powers in China Lenin – “The War in China” [1]. Changing what has to be changed, for example, bringing democracy rather than bringing Christianity, fighting insurgents and terrorists rather than rebels Lenin's article could today have been written by him about the involvement of the US and Uk in Iraq. His article also discusses the effect such actions have on the working classes of the countries involved in ways that are again familiar today. For example, he discusses the restrictions placed on workers similar to the way the "War on Terror" has been used to restrict Civil Liberties etc., he talks of the use of press stories attacking Chinese people, in the same way that the press today attack Muslims.

He also speaks of the way the War in China was being used to prepare for further such wars, in the same way that the US is using its Ocupation of Iraq to attack Iran, and forms part of its overall strategy for dominating the Middle East.

And coincidentally he speaks of the likely break up of China as various powers sought to carve out their own interest just as there is a possibility of Iraq being carved up into its three basic component parts, each being under the influence of some external force.
