An evaluation of the Chinese contribution to the anti-revisionist movement after the death of Stalin

"...Chinese communist critiques of the Soviet Union ... throw up some useful hypotheses for further investigation."
"You are making the socialist revolution, and yet don’t know where the bourgeoisie is. It is right inside the Communist Party – those in power taking the capitalist road." - Mao, quoted by the author)

Tony Clark introduces Harry Powell's evaluation of the Chinese critique of Soviet revisionism.

"There are certain aspects of the original Chinese critique which are certainly debatable. One, for instance, is the reference to the ‘negative side of the politics upheld by Stalin’, without further elaboration.
... I would disagree with... the implied view that Lenin and Stalin may have subscribed to a "productive forces theory" of socialism, and the suggestion that from 1935, following the 7th World Congress and the adoption of the United-Front Against Fascism policy, the Comintern leadership had been predominantly revisionist."

The International Marxist-Leninist Review interviews T. Clark in depth on Trotsky's seminal work.

"...Trotsky lost the ideological struggle because all his core arguments could not stand up to serious criticism. Trotsky lost because the party and the working class wanted to hold on to power and build socialism ‘in one country’, and Trotsky told them it could not be done, and when they turned to Lenin’s writings they found that the latter regarded it as possible."
"...Trotsky’s ‘Third International After Lenin’ is a continuation of Trotsky’s struggle against Leninism."
"‘The Third International After Lenin’ by L. Trotsky is a strange, surreal work, setting out to prove that Lenin was against Leninism and that therefore he must have been a Trotskyist."

The International Marxist-Leninist Review interviews T. Clark following his article on the origins of the theory of socialism in one country.

The text of a leaflet, a brief statement against the war.

In spite of the incorrect standpoint of the Proletarian group as regards the CPSU,   this was a ground-breaking document, containing an essential exposition of Marxism-Leninism concerning the concept of levels of consciousness in the class.
This is an historic document, one which is as relevant today as when it was first published in the early eighties!
