Re: Not fade away (Final and general)

["Nestor Gorojovsky" <nestorgoro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The judgement of history on Stalin and Stalinism was passed when the 
Russian working masses could not, or did not wish, or did not decide, 
or were unarmed to, transform the system through a revolution and 
keep the SU alive.

This is, for me, a closed issue.

The problem now, the struggle now, lies elsewhere, Jurriaan. It lies 
in explaining that whatever the tremendous horrors in Stalinism, this 
thing that Russians have now is simply murder. And that they won't 
have anything else unless they throw capitalism away --_again_. And I 
stress the "again", because Russians must feel pride for what they 
did since they will have to do it anew.

The time of denounciation of Stalinism is over. It could have brought 
about a political revolution in the USSR, as Trotsky expected. But it 
didn't -what we have there  is full capitalist and imperialist 
restoration. Those who fought for the political revolution were 
defeated twice: by Stalinism and by imperialism.

Now we must recognize the new terrain and march forward.
