Ultra-Leftism and Petty Bourgeois Radicalism, phenomena which have existed since the time of Marx and Lenin, have caused disruption and disunity throughout the history of the Communist movement. This class provides an introduction to Ultra-Leftism in general, and it also covers the recent Beijing Declaration on Ending Division and Strengthening Palestinian National Unity. The Beijing Declaration has united the Palestinian forces in their struggle against the genocide which the Netanyahu government in Israel is currently perpetrating. Its approval by the representatives of the Palestinian people highlights the errors of contemporary Ultra-Left views on the Israel-Palestine question.
