Although it is not a surprise that Lenin faced with numerous national questions after 1917 did not refer to that Stalin's "work", reading the above assertion in "a journal that rejects the Stalinist distortion of the socialist project" i can not but remember with joy the vitriolic Trotsky's article "Hands Off Rosa Luxemburg"(1932) (http://www.marxists.org/archive/trotsky/1932/06/luxemberg.htm) "which identifies not a nation, but Stalin's "c o n g e n i t a l i g n o r a n c e", with its objective material conditions of formation and existence": "The Stalinist falsifications are conscious insofar as they are dictated at each given moment by entirely concrete personal interests. At the same time they are semi-conscious, insofar as his congenital ignorance places no impediments whatsoever to his theoretical propensities." Leon Trotsky "Hands Off Rosa Luxemburg"(1932) J.A. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
