Marxist-Leninist view on the Hungarian Revolution of 1956

Not looking for a sectarian shitfest here, but if some kind ol' Marxist-Leninists could post some links or state their views on the Hungarian Revolution, or the ideological position of the USSR, that would be pretty amazing.

I need this for a Model United Nations policy paper. Thanks in advance.

Here is an article from the Party for Socialism and Liberation on the uprising in Hungary in 1956: http://www.pslweb.org/liberationnews/news/06-12-05-the-real-lessons-1956-uprising-i.html


On June 22, President Bush traveled to Hungary to join a commemoration of an uprising that occurred there 50 years ago, in October-November 1956. He went there as chief representative of U.S. imperialism presiding over a ceremony marking its greatest victory—the collapse of the socialist camp in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

After he and Laura Bush laid a wreath at the 1956 Memorial Monument, he addressed the people of Hungary. “In 1956,” he said, “the Hungarian people suffered under a communist dictatorship and domination by a foreign power. That fall, the Hungarian people had decided they had had enough and demanded change.

[...]

The socialist revolutions in the Soviet Union and other oppressed countries inspired hundreds of millions of workers around the world with the reality that capitalist oppression was not inevitable. Today, it is the special duty of the multinational working class in imperialist countries—especially in the United States—to end capitalist and imperialist plunder.

Definitely a good article.
