Stalin On The Anglo-Russian Committee
Added 2024-12-24 15:33:48 +0000 UTCHow did the British General Strike of 1926 play into the debates within the CPSU(b)? In 1926 the Soviet response to the chance of revolution in Britain caused another division within the CPSU (b) between the minority (led by Trotsky & Zinoviev) and the majority (led at the time by Stalin & Bukharin). In response to Trotsky's criticisms of Soviet policy on the British trade unions Stalin outlines the Leninist approach to working within reactionary trade unions, in looking at this we examine how these issues still divide Marxist-Leninists from Trotskyites to this day.
