  Once upon a time, exactly 500 years ago, From 1520-1566 to be exact, there was a Ottoman Sultan(king) known as "Suleiman the Magnificent"  who was fond of glorifying himself with all his titles. Imagine how Muslim-phobic Donald Trump and his white supremacist murderous gang would improve upon the panegyrics of  Sultan the Magnificent  in the coming  days by adding among other things such as,
* kidnapper of Venezuelan President
*murderer Iranian Supreme leader
* Bomber -in-chief of Iran
*Companion  of  Nethenyahu who already has murdered more than 70000 Palestinians.
*killer of 160  children at one stroke
* killer of  104 Iranian sailors close to the Sri Lankan waters 
* Bosom friend of the convicted sex-trafficker Jeffery Epstein whose sex-island  he has not bombed  but frequently visited, etc.,etc.

NOW read Sultan's achievements!
   


 

I, who am sultan of the Sultans of East and West,
fortunate lord of the domains of the Romans, Persians and Arabs,
Hero of creation,
Neriman of the earth and time,
Padishah and Sultan of the Mediterranean and Black Sea,
of the extolled Kaaba and Medina the illustrious and Jerusalem the noble,
of the throne of Egypt and the province of Yemen, Aden and Sana,
of Baghdad and Basra and Lahsa and Ctesiphon,
of the lands of Algeria and Azerbaijan, of the region of the Kipchaks and lands of Tartars, 
of Kurdistan and Luristan and all Rumelia, Anatolia, and kAraman,
of Wallachia and Moldavia and Hungary and many kingdoms and lands besides;
THE SULTAN SULEIMAN KHAN, son of the SULTAN SELIM KHAN.(P 353)

MARX, ENGELS, LENIN, TROTSKY - IN THEIR OWN WORDS

-

PREFACE  This anthology is an attempt by a life-long Marxist to select, gather and put into a single book certain important and interesting passages relating to the fundamentals of Marxism as well as important ideas relating to various other subjects, as enunciated by the founders of Marxism (Marx and Engels ) and two foremost leaders of the Marxist movement (Lenin and Trotsky.) Although the selections are mine, none of the words (except the titles ) are mine. All the quotations are in their own words. Although there are few anthologies enunciating the fundamentals of Marxism , all of them are limited to one, at most two, of these persons. Furthermore they are limited to a very few topics. What distinguishes this book from such other books is the fact that it tries to encompass most of the important passages of almost all the writings of these four giants in regard to the theory and practice of Marxism.
