GUEST,from albert	Did George Galloway Get A Fair Hearing (218* d)	RE: Did George Galloway Get A Fair Hearing	11 Aug 07
Have just returned from Sidmouth so have missed some of the discussion about Galloway and Iraq. Teribus you are wrong and oh so wrong in your take on state capitalism. The theory of state capitalism was first made widely known in left wing circles in the late 1940s and 1950s by Tony Cliff and Mike Kidron who went on to form the International Socialists who evolved in the 1970s into the Socialist Workers Party. Although if my memory serves me correct there was an earlier proponent of this theory. In the 1950s the Soviet Union appeared to have plenty of strength and it was quite a brave and unorthodox socialist to suggest the the Soviet Union was not socialist and was in fact a state capitalist system created through the destruction of the Revolution in the 1920s. Cliff has written several books on this theme and has attempted to rescue the classical marxist belief that the emancipation of the working class will be the act of the working class. I will drink to that! albert
