 | | In contrast to the Trotskyists, Bordiga, in the late 1940s, concluded that Stalinist Russia was capitalist, but he denied the very existence of state capitalism. |
 | | Bordiga first discovered this bourgeoisie in Stalinist Russia in what he thought were incipient tendencies towards the restoration of “private property” through the sale of interest bearing bonds to high-salaried functionaries, scientists, artists, etc., who constituted the embryo of a bourgeois class. |
 | | While the theories propounded by Mattick and Bordiga deny the very existence of state capitalism, the positions of Battaglia Comunista [Parti Comunista Internationalista, from Italy] and the CWO [Communist Workers Organisation, from Britain], which assert that Russia the countries of the Russian bloc, China, etc., are state capitalist countries are also inadequate. |
