Jorn:
Do you really think that a working class could use atomic bombs
for any good? Nuclear weapons are offensive weapons which mainly
kill *people* (i.e. workers). How could a workers' state argue
at the same time as it uses nuclear weapons that those same workers
should fight their own rulers and not a foreign workers' state?
I think it's impossible ...
