My response to this is: Crisis, what crisis? At least in this question
Tengely-Evan's position is totally consistent with the position of the
British SWP and its forerunners since at least Hungary in 1956. There
may be many reasons for criticising the British SWP but inconsistency on
Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union isn't one of them. And I fail
to see why any socialist should support Lukashenko or Putin - even by
traditional orthodox Trotskyist criteria there is no way either Belarus
or Russia can be described today as workers' states, no matter how
deformed, degenerated or vestigial!
