Subject: Luis,s history of Trotskyism..


What,s the matter Luis? Getting worried that Aldolfo,s accusations of being 
a "Trot" might stick..It is quite funny that in the Mao-Stalinist world the 
accusations of cop, agent of Fujimora, Trotskyists are all put on the same 
level. And the polemics of all the groups always puts each other in one or 
more of these categories. That is why it is so difficult to see what 
actually the difference in polical line is.Other then they all claim to 
represent the real line of Mao-Stalin. But hardly marx and Lenin..

Anyhow, Luis,s long first part of the history of Trotskyism is a fairly 
classical document of the Stalinist school of falsification. Basically it is 
not new and in fact is a collective statement of what unites the Mao-Stalin 
variant of hate to the Bolshevik Leninist  politics of Trotsky. 

The best way to defend all of the defeats that the working class 
internationally is to blame it on Trotsky. In fact it was the Stalinists 
that had state power and the mass parties to betray with and not the 
Trotskyists.

And in order to answer all of the outright lies and falsifications somebody 
would have to reprint the history of the left opposition and Email it to the 
list. Which would obviously just take to much time and effort at this point.

However, sooner or later just like Aldolfo, Luis will have to come forward 
with his political line for Peru. Then we shall see what Trotskyist politics 
mean in a more concrete form. So i will wait until Luis actually talkes a 
political stance other then the speeches of Comrade Gonzalo who finds 
himself at present out of the picture.

But the bottom line, Luis,s document actually says that him and Aldolfo 
agree on the basics so obviously the difference here is of a more personal 
nature of who is to be the spokesman for the PCP solidarity work. 

On the issue of defense work Luis has a better line then Aldolfo at first 
sight. However his defense of Stalin in Germany makes me wonder if he also 
accepts the "Red Front"..

The future will decide who are the Bolshevik Leninists i,m sure of that.

Warm Regards

For the list. My personal believe is that Trotsky was a Menshevik on the 
party question up until the Russian revolution in 1917.
