This despite one or two differences of emphasis I think essentially the WRP have the correct balance for BRICS. They support correctly the alliance of the Russian and Chinese workers' states in defending the Colonial revolution against Imperialism but at the same time the Russian and Chinese bureaucratic castes are using it as a bargainship with Imperialism for concessions. Only world socialist revolution can stop the nuclear suicide of Imperialism. There is no mention of how Lenin and Trotsky would utilize any trade deals to promote Socialist revolutions in the semi-Colonies. The WRP since the 1970s have adapted to Bourgeois Nationalists within the semi-colonies although they still theorectically cling to Permanent Revolution. It is correct for the WRP to say Imperialism is going hysterical about the alliance of the Russian and Chinese workers' state with the Cuban workers' state and semi-colonies which has a dynamic of undermining the Imperialist super-profits. If they lose the main source of their profitable wealth this it will further undermine their stability within the Imperialist countries. Trotskyists defend the workers' states and struggles against Imperialist domination of the semi-colonies because it strengthens tendencies towards radicalization and socialist revolutions within the Imperialist countries. Imperialist banks could be squeezed out of the BRICS bank. Watching CCTV news they mentioned that two key American banks are trying to play a role in the BRICS bank. I watched Fox News this morning and even some of the right wing Neo-Cons do not want a Third World War. One correspondent even called for a deal with the Russian Bureaucracy, Another Fox correspondent said that many young people were worried already about a nuclear holocaust. This could lead to mass protests as it was the same layer that protested against the American Imperialist adventure during 2003. The American ruling class has to be sober because another adventure could destroy them as a a class either through world revolution or nuclear suicide. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
