I think the point that Gojko and Salua have made strongly, clearly, and truly, was that the working class, peasantry, and their revolutionary leaders were the ones who suffered most from the rise of Stalinist dictatorships. Marv makes an important historical omission. We know from history that the workers did rise up against Stalinism before state control was relaxed in 1953 in Berlin and in 1956 in Hungary. We also know that the working class did not rise up to defend "really existing socialism" anywhere when the Soviet Union and the Eastern European Stalinist states collapsed.
