Through a critical examination of the limits of SWP guru Tony Cliff's analysis, Marot demolishes the popular myth that Trotsky and his Left Opposition within the Bolshevik Party in Russia were, during the 1920s, a heroic attempt to defend working class interests against a Stalinist 'socialist construction' and repression that they disagreed with. An effective factual antidote to leftist and ICC-type left-communist apologetics for Trotsky and Trotskyism's anti-working class character in Soviet Russia.
Elector selector,they probably couldn't resist it, all those names all those
numbers all those personal details, like kids in a sweet shop
a mouthwatering opportunity to ridicule, scorn and demean ordinary people to prove their intellect and superiority, we were then more than now, innocent, ignorant, uneducated working class nobodies and we believed exactly what we were told and what we are
told is passed down through our families until our children and grandchildren also believe in the illusion they've been told and have read about in the media and from politicians who also say ''if it happened here we would be the first to tell you about it. and ''it couldn't happen here'' and we the public believe them, most still do,
the belief in all those politicians all those so called democratic freedom of speech newspapers and broadcasters and all of those organizations who you would expect to be the first to stand up and defend your rights, you the public believe every word they say, your belief in what they tell you is greater and stronger than your own logic and the truth you can see with your own two eyes you discard, because the great democratic safety net didn't report it. Joe public has had his eyes poked out and sleeps safely in his bed at night in the belief that the nightmare couldn't happen here and if shown the proof would say it cant be true because if it were true then the politician and the media would tell us, he would as has been the case for so long defy a logic and truth in favour of his belief in the comfort and security of what he has come to know.Blind Joe would say but why ? why would they do such a thing. what Joe? you talking to me or listening to corra.
