Ah yes!  MIM missed the boat All of these Stalinists who followed your Guru 
Stalin are now praising capitalist counter-revolution with the exception of 
North Korea and Vietnam and China who are well on their way.

The essence of the Trotskyist line on the deformed and degenerated workers 
states was that the Stalinist bureaucracy sitting on the top of the gains of 
the October Revolution with the line of "Socialism in one country" which led 
to such zig zags as the third period and the popular front period of 
peaceful co-existence with imperialism would be the grave diggers of the 
October Revolution. well, looking at things today one sees quite clearly 
that Stalinism has actually finally made the leap and now are good 
capitalist counter-revolutionaries in most of these countries.
