On top of that any given system is dependant upon the people that it is built upon, if you have amoral people, well youre likely to have an amoral system and finally these faults are further projected by the state.

Seriously, I think you've been watching too many movies. The Matrix, was it? Power corrupts... then give it to the masses. THat is communism. Anarchism begets capitalism begets monopoly perseverence. There is so much bourgeois, even religious, thought inside your 'radical' philosophy. It is never going to be a catalyst for positive change, just cynicism and scorn. Give it up!

Wasn't it illegal for Soviet citiziens to leave the country? How does the CPGB-ML justify that?

[ProletarianCPGBML]

This is a total red herring of an accusation!

1) The vast majority under capitalism are forbidden from traveling.. not by any law that needs to be written; but by the iron law of economics, that impoverishes the vast masses.

2) Travel within the socialist block was possible, but limited by needs of balanced development.

3) the capitalist world did not allow free travel with right of return to socialist citizens

the very question, as it is formulated, seeks to stand the truth on its head.

@sparky6952: Go live in Somalia - it's an anarcho-capitalist paradise pretty close to Thatcher's doctrine, with pirates, mafia, and a lower GDP per capita than North Korea. When you go and enjoy living in that laissez-faire capitalist heaven called Somalia, she'll probably go to North Korea too... :)) If you think Thatcher stood for freedom, you are just as deluded as a Stalinist, so you should probably follow your own advise and move away from leftist Europe to the capitalist 3rd world. :))

[sparky6952]

you are completly deluded.Those dictators on the wall killed millions, and made a totalitarian state.The workers demanded its end.Thatcher stood for freedom, and prosperity,Go and live in North Korea

Trotsky was the creator of the red army and it's first commander...and he would have had done way better in defeating the Nazis during WW2 instead of purging its own army and sending waves of young russians to die without adecuate command.I don't understand this women saying that it would discourage people to make revolution.Trotsky was pushing for a global revolution instead of socialism in one country.Read about Engels about socialism in one country.

[RedHammer26]

excuse me comrade i have a question would it not be better for the working class and the middle class to unite together to fight facism and capitalism ?. As the middle class are still workers just enrich slittly in order to make a barrier for the rich to cower behind

Too bad economics proves socialism to be a nonsense pipe dream.
