Thomas F. Barton wrote: "But Trotsky, they conveniently forget, also claimed that Stalin's Russia was a socialist society, just one run by a pack of murdering thugs led by the tyrant Stalin. He argued that only a political revolution was necessary to rescue a Russian socialist organization of production from bad people. "So, on the basic, Stalin and Trotsky were in complete agreement: Stalin's Russia was an example of socialism for the world to support and defend. Puke." If I were such a complete jackass and idiot as Barton, I'd put a bullet through my head. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
