    Just want to reply to "Fuck the Clock"'s claims.

    1. "Really existing socialism" is a Brezhnevite concept. Under his tenure socialism was proclaimed an entire historical epoch with its own laws, theories like that of "the dictatorship of the proletariat in international affairs," (better known as "limited sovereignty"), "developed socialism," etc. were introduced. Since Brezhnev continued Khrushchev's policies, they are an outgrowth of revisionism, not "Stalinism." Both China and Albania denounced "really existing socialism" as actually existing capitalism.
    2. Many Trots today rally around SYRIZA and other bourgeois coalitions disguised as "workers' organizations." "Stalinists" seek, when necessary, to unite various strata against imperialism, neo-colonialism, etc. with the working-class at the head of these endeavors, ensured through their vanguard.

    Hello Comrade,

    I saw that you are part of the Reforming of the Internation Brigade group.
    There is a discussion going on right now about organizing such an International Brigade. But there are only 2 active members in the discussion, and it would be nice if more members joined in. If we have enough motivation and a new International Brigade could actually be realised, union6, of of our active members, will create a site. So if you want to help to reform the International Brigade, your help and insights will not only be appreciated, but also needed.

    P.S
    We are not discussing the creation of an armed group like the original International Brigade, for the time being it will be unarmed.

    Hehe, yeah I love that character...only later in life did I realise what the hell he was on about ('Anarcho-syndicalist commune' and 'out-dated imperialist dogma' didn't mean much to me when I was 12)

    Sure, check out Leon Trotsky Internet Archive.

    It's really just the past - at least the analysis of whether the USSR was "really existing socialism" (Stalin's position) or a "degenerated workers state" (Trotsky's position). Strategically there has been a difference in how they organise: popular fronts with bourgeois parties (Stalinist) and united fronts consisting only of worker's organisations (Trotsky).

    Technocracy, at least in its 21st century revival is fairly heterogeneous & anti-dogmatic. There is very much a paucity of writing on what one could call "technocratic ethics" probably as a result of its earlier proponents wishing to be "above" such concerns. I would, speaking mostly for myself, characterise it and its supporters as being ultimately prioritarian. That is that it uses many of the assumptions of utilitarianism about what is good while keeping in mind the need for social justice, it's utilitarianism with its eyes open if you'll allow some indulgent language . If you want it pared down to a single, pithy, phrase I think the wikipedia article on Prioritarianism does as good a job as any when it states: "the goodness of an outcome is a function of overall well-being across all individuals with extra weight given to worse-off individuals."
    That's my view of it anyway. No doubtthis will be (another) one of those issues where asking 10 technocrats will give 11 answers.
