I can already hear the old slurs ("Liquidationist," "believer in self-reform of the Stalinist bureaucracy," etc.), most of which are long since outdated. Yes, Michel Pablo's thesis -- that we were in for "hundreds and hundreds of years of deformed workers' states", etc. -- was wrong. The point is, though, THAT HE RETRACTED IT, as did the USec's new leadership when the International reunited. That's what the opponents of "Pabloism" don't say. (And here is where I disagree with Lou Proyect -- I don't think Pablo's idea of the Trotskyists entering the Third International parties would've ever worked. I don't think they would've gotten anywhere in those CPs that remained bureaucratically centralized. Perhaps they should've entered the EuroCommunist parties, I don't know.) -- Jason ______ "For Marx, the theoretical axis of CAPITAL -- the core around which all else develops -- is the question of plan: the despotic plan of capital against the cooperative plan of freely associated labor."
