What the flying fuck are texts by Bukharin doing on libcom? I despair!

What's the deal with this text? Is this an original translation? Is it available online anywhere else?

Greetings, Steven. Yes, this is an original translation by me.

Okay great, thanks for clarifying. With any future entries like this, it would be great if you could put in a note somewhere, maybe at the bottom, explaining this, and ideally citing the source of the original (the publisher etc).
That being the case, it's fine to submit stuff like this, as it's important it is available in English, so thanks very much for translating and posting. But libcom may pop a little editorial note on it somewhere saying we are reproducing the text for reference and do not necessarily agree with it.

Thanks for the information. While I do not necessarily agree with Bukharin. I think it is important to know about his ideas and opinions. I'm actually working on a project translating many works by Marxists such as Martov, Radek, Axelrod etc.

I don't think that an alleged libertarian communist website is the place for this (or Bordiga, etc.). I would have thought "Marxist Internet Archive" would be the place for it.

There could be an argument made for his left-communist writings in 1917-8 but this one is defending Bolshevik state-capitalist dictatorship, so hardly libertarian or communist. If I want to find out about the ideas and opinions of non-libertarians, I would go to a non-libertarian website.

Greetings, I apologize if my translation work has caused any offense to you, Anarcho. My intention here is solely to archive historical materials, I actually tried to contact the Marxists Internet Archive, yet, I received no response. I would be uploading translated works of Proudhon. I hope this message finds you well.
