Michael Pugliese ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Against Neo-Stalinism - Part 1"
Message 1 in thread From: Prianikoff (prianikoff at aol.comAPLondon) Subject: Against Neo-Stalinism - Part 1 Newsgroups: alt.politics.socialism.trotsky View this article only Date: 1998/11/22 At worst, parties emerging from the wreck of post-Stalinism may simply draw the conclusion that everything began to go wrong under Krushchev and what is required is a return to "classic" Stalinism. This is the position taken by ultra-stalinist sects such as the US Progressive Labor Party, the Workers Party of Belgium, the sections of the Philippines CP led by Sison and elements inside the British Socialist Labour Party, which has increasingly come under Stalinist influence.
Harpal Brar for example, stood for the SLP in Southall during the General Election and using their endorsement was able to achieve 2102 votes. He is prominent in the Indian Workers Association and well known in the area. Harpal Brar is also a positively rabid Stalinist. He has written a book unashamedly defending the Moscow trials "Perestroika: The Complete Collapse of Revisionism" Harpal Brar Publishing. Brar recently conducted an interview with Victor Anpilov, leader of the Russian Communist Workers' Party in the pages of the IWA journal Lalkar. Anpilov was disciplined by his party soon afterwards for anti-semitic statements and opportunist electoral alliances ! The fact that the Stalin Society has been allowed to affiliate to the SLP while Militant Labour (The Socialist Party) was excluded is a sign of its current political trajectory. It has increasingly become apparent that neo-stalinist political positions are endorsed by Arthur Scargill. Scargill for instance is prepared to share an open political platform with Anpilov and with Ludo Martens from the Belgian Workers Party. Martens is the author of the book " Another View of Stalin " a work which attempts to justify the Show trials, Stalin's purge of the Soviet Military, Forced Collectivisation and the record of the Stalinist Comintern prior to the war. Martens regards Trotsky and Trotskyists as counter-revolutionary provocateurs "infiltrating leftist circles". Perhaps half the membership of the SLP are ex-members of Trotskyist organisations, posing a serious problems for the neo-Stalinist wing of this organisation. That Victor Anpilov blamed "Trotskyites" for his downfall in the RKRP, and that there are neo-stalinist elements struggling for influence in most of the re-formed communist parties indicates that this is an issue which won't disappear. The view that such political differences are "historical" and it is simply possible to unite in concrete work is short-sighted in the extreme. There is no possibility of a convergence with the leaderships of these tendencies. Neo-stalinists will struggle for control and be prepared to use measures of expulsion and purge against anti-stalinists. This is already becoming evident in the British SLP, where SLP parliamentary candidate Ian Driver's resignation in protest at Scargill's anti-democratic methods, has been followed by a wave of further resignations since the SLP's stage-managed, December 1997 Conference. Entry into such parties is admissible to the degree that they are mass parties with working class support and that they allow tendencies. Capitulation to the politics of their leaderships is not.
