Yeah, they’re dead and the SU is also dead, take what you can from both and move on.
Trotsky has good points about the nomenklatura and aspects of Permanent Revolution and Transitional Programs are well worth reading. Stalin is obviously more correct but I continue to take Luxemburg’s position on the national question, at least for western orgs (De-colonial movements are obviously a different matter).
frankly both of them are dead now so it seems like it doesn’t matter anymore
