	Your telling me that old Leo Breznev was a Trot? C'mon Brezhnev
was just as much of a bureaucrat as Stalin was..

	I'm sure you visit the mauseleum often, its unfortunate that Uncle
Joe Stalin isn't there anymore for you isn't it? Here is a breakdown of
the legacy of Stalin:

- Sold out the German Revolution
- Transformed an infantile worker's state into a state capitalist bureaucracy
- Murdered every revolutionary Bolshevik
- Falsified Soviet history, built a cult around himself and Lenin
- Single-handedly set back international communism indefinetly
- Murdered millions of other civilians, established slave labor camps

	If you still believe that 'socialism in one country' was Lenin's
legacy than you are absolutely hopeless. Why don't you go serve a few
years in the People's Army in Peru, or perhaps start building a mauseleum
for Abimael Guzman in London; just in case Peru really is the vanguard of
the world communism revolution.

	Of course, and was it not Stalin who was very responsible for the
events which led to the infantile death of socialism in Russia?

	What do you think about the show-trials? Was Trotsky an agent of
Hitler? Or perhaps a space-alien? 

	You're hopeless, my experiment in initiating a discussion about
Trotsky seems to have failed. It's now a name-calling game, our Bonapartist
friend Louis Proyect may have been correct for a change. 

	Time to go back to the quarantine doctrine again..
