Isn't it amazing how these Trotskyites or social-imperialists,
if you like (Leftie Biz was actually called that by another Trot,
Vladimir B.), are all calling each other "Stalinists"?

Didn't and don't they all still *love* the earlier, social-imperialist
Soviet Union and found and find, for instance, its genocidal
aggression against Afghanisan a "very good thing"?

Don't they all fear and hate that modern development which so much 
favours the proletariat, such as nuclear energy, more than anything
on earth?

Trotskyism is and remains a very reactionary trend indeed, also
among bourgeois ideologies. Even the liberals and conservatives
in many ways are less reactionary.
