Comrades,
Yes, I do agree that Yeltsin dealt the final blows to the Soviet workers'
state, but what it demonstrated is that Stalin's theory of socialism in one
country is inherently flawed. Trotsky's theory of permanent revolution
logically concludes that socialism must be international in order for it to
succeed.
Heikki,
I think discussion of these issues are crucial to moving the international
revolutionary movement forward. Debate will never end simply because human
beings will be forever trying to move forward, which is a good thing.
Debate helps us get where we need to go. We can certainly be civil and
debate on the issues and theories; as an example, Comrade Proyect's
editorial comments on Comrade Hodderson's article on saving the Fourth
International was name-calling, instead of debate. I hope some time he
expresses why he disagrees with FSP's analysis. That would be fruitful.
Comradely,
Jordana
FSP
