I think this is a good way to pinpoint one of the errors.
Now that it is very difficult to envisage even social democracy in one
country, let alone socialism in one country, it is ironical that it is
people from a trotskyist background who seem to argue most dogmatically
that it is reformist to campaign for any radical reforms globally. For them
the only true revolutionary stance is to keep eyes fixed on a revolutionary
overthrow of the state within each individual country.
