Talk:Their Trotsky and Ours

Is it a book?
"It was never published as an entire book." User:Dolaro


 * Here is a link to amazon, which says it is a book:

Touche. Apparently it was published in book form without my noticing some nineteen years after the original speech was delivered. The only publication I had known was in New International. Dolaro 01:23, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Communist States?
The SWP never was "in favor of a view embracing Cuba, Nicaragua and Grenada as communist states." There is not and can not be such a thing as "communist states," since "communism" means a classless, stateless society. The SWP has held since at least 1962 that Cuba is a workers state, and during the revolutions in Nicaragua and Grenada, workers and farmers governments were established which did not become workers states. It never at any time viewed that the Cuban revolution had degenerated. Is agreeing with Lenin rather than Trotsky on some questions of the role of the peasantry, and the initial tasks of the revolution a "a complete break with the party's traditions"? It must be true, I read it on Wikipedia. Mmclic (talk) 20:02, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
