I have created an anti-Trotskyism group. I'm not satisfied with the group description however, do you have any suggestions? You have a talent for writing concise descriptions.

In that Trotsky thread? I still don't understand why Russian comrades should use Stalin as their Lassalle instead of Lenin. You mention Mao and China but I think the equivalent of Russian comrades adopting Stalin as a Lassalle in China would be the New Left adopting Lin Biao or Deng as their Lassalle instead of Mao, comrade.

Also, I was going through some old threads on RevLeft about the USDP

and Halle. What exactly do you mean when you say that the majority

left-wing in the USPD should have used their majority to kick out the

right-wingers? Isn't what they did pretty much the same? They voted

to join the Comintern and merge with the Spartacists to form a united

Communist Party, since unity with the rightists was no longer

feasible(which was quite a Lenin-ist action, a rejection of a "split

at any cost", i.e sectism, AND a rejection of "unity at any cost",

i.e the majority left-wing making huge concessions to the minority

right-wing out of some misplaced fetishism for unity)

What do you think about adding a picture of Hal Draper to the Rev. Marxists album? I think much of Hal Draper's thinking in regards to the true nature of "Leninism"(re. "spontaneity", "professional revolutionary"(the proper translation from Russian should be "revolutionary by profession, anyway), sectism vs. partyism and the "vanguard") is present in Lars Lih's works. I think De Leon is pretty bored without fellow American comrades.

Comrade, I was wondering if you know much about Die Linke's inner factions? Are Marxists/genuine Socialists(i.e not Keynesianists and reform/eurocommunists) a significant presence in it?
