Aldolfo!

Not more then two (!) days ago you were begging the so called "duckpond" to 
get rid of those horrible Trotskyists who were destroying the list. The 
classical opportunist 
block of petty bougeois intellectuals and the Stalinists of the post second 
world war.

So stop whining about principles! You were on your knees begging these 
people Aldolfo! In reality the only thing pissing you off is that you can 
not organise the duckpond according to your rules.. The good old days are 
gone forever...

In case you haven't realized it the petty bougeois intellectuals no longer 
see Stalinism as a serious alternative to capitulate too. Despite attempts 
by some of the "Communist left" presenting long and boring documents trying 
to raise Stalin from the grave.. and building a new family of Stalinist 
organisations which have the common denominator of seeing the world devided 
up between before 1956 and after 1956.

It will take another October Revolution and a new Stalin to create those 
conditions. So why don't you give it up? Go look for a progressive wing of 
the Peruvian bougeoisie or something..Or perhaps some sort of Euro-Communist 
reformism?

Or even better become a Trotskyist then you might even be taking a step in 
the right direction. Because the only future for the Stalin society is old 
age, bitterness and a grave!

Stalinism is dead and neither Aldolfo and his little photographer or the 
"Communist Left" will be able to resurrect a political line which was based 
on the counter-revolutionary politics of "building Socialism in one country" 
connected to all the twists and turns which evolved out of the COMINTERN by 
the Stalinists. In fact the only thing that kept Stalinism alive was the 
material basis of the deformed and degenerated workers states which financed 
a overwhelming part of the operation Internationally.

Nor will the "unity" mongering of the "Belgian Workers Party" against 
"revisionism" change this dialectical fact. Our old Stalinists can howl at 
the moon and in fact have become in most countries and insignificant sect 
while the rest of the old Stalinist guard are trying to become Social 
Democrats in order to be good servants to their new masters--imperialism and 
capitalism.

Any serious old Stalinist who really still stands for making a revolution 
must break with all these attempts to resurrect something which is 
responsible for the present state of things in the International Workers 
movement. And it hardly started in 1956 but almost immediately after Lenin's 
death. It is documented in the history of the Left Opposition led by Trotsky 
and the founding documents of the Fourth International. 

Warm Regards
Bob Malecki
