	The Theory of State Capitalism
		You dismiss the characterisation of the former USSR as a deformed workers state.
		During the Korean War, in which the capitalist South, backed by imperialism, took on the deformed workers' state in the North, the forerunners of the SWP adopted a position of neutrality.
		This did not mean that they could evolve gradually and peacefully into healthy workers' states.

	1953 split in Fourth International
		This policy was part of the bureaucratic monopoly of information in the degenerated workers' states and only served to misinform and deceive the working class.Negotiations between workers' states and capitalist states or other workers' states have to be carried out in view of the working class.
		The world proletariat, therefore, must stand with its brothers and sisters in the degenerated workers' states in defence of the remaining planned property relations.The state monopoly of foreign trade, the nationalisation of industry, the principle of planning must be defended against internal restoration and imperialist attack.
		Workers must enforce their own ban on fascist, pogromist, racist propaganda.Likewise they will allow no freedom of the press or access to the media for pro-restorationist forces that are organising to overthrow the workers state by force.

	Declaration of the League for the Fourth International
		The British Workers Power and its satellites grouped in the League for a Revolutionary Communist International have recently returned to their “state capitalist” roots: after a decade and a half of pretending to uphold the Trotskyist characterization of deformed workers states, WP has now declared that the bourgeois state was never replaced in East Europe.
		The workers soviets (councils) proclaimed the goal of “the establishment of a socialist organization of society and the victory of socialism in all countries.” Faced with the invasion of 14 imperialist armies, the Soviet power triumphed in the ensuing Civil War under the Red Army, organized by Leon Trotsky.
		This is the case of the “Liaison Committee for a Workers International” of Pierre Lambert’s French PT (Workers Party); the “Committee for a Workers International,” led by Peter Taaffe’s Socialist Party in Britain (formerly the Militant Labour tendency); and the Latin America-based International Workers League of the followers of the late Nahuel Moreno.

	ICL Still Caught Between Shachtman and Trotsky
		Workers in the remaining deformed workers states fear for their livelihoods and their lives, but don’t know how to defend them.
		A class-conscious worker will understand the difference between the union misleaders, the labor traitors who sabotage the workers’ struggle in the interests of the bosses, and the bosses themselves, who are the class enemy.
		Crushing workers democracy and undermining the economic foundations of proletarian rule while seeking an impossible “peaceful coexistence” with world capitalism, the Stalinists prepare the way for and open the door to capitalist restoration.

	Theories of Stalinism's Collapse
		The USSR under Stalin& bureaucracy had become a “degenerated workers’ state”: it had removed the working class as a whole from the actual exercise of state power, undermined its revolutionary achievements and was on the road to restoring capitalist rule.
		That no revolutionary workers’ parties were built is largely due to the historical fact that the Stalinists, in the massive purges that helped put the Soviet workers’ state to death in the 1930’s, had wiped out the remaining leadership that still stood for the goals of the October revolution of 1917.
		Marx and Lenin stressed that a workers’ state is not yet socialism but transitional to it; it is a “bourgeois state without the bourgeoisie.” Thus the early USSR started off as a battleground between capitalism’s blindly operating, anarchic laws of motion (summed up as the law of value) and conscious proletarian direction.

	The Transition Program 5
		The state influence of the monopolies in the capitalist countries, as well as the identification of the state with the bureaucracy in the bureaucratised workers' states conducts towards totalitarianism.
		Up to now we have seen two invasions of workers' states by the SU, provoked by the fear of the soviet bureaucratic caste that these states would transform into revolutionary, as a consequence of the beginning of the political revolution and of the embryonic emergence of some kind of councils or soviets.
		For the Kremlin bureaucracy, that division among workers' states is a source of greater enrichment, since it uses the capitalist world market to exploit economically the less developed workers' states by means of trade.

	Deformed workers' state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Taking Trotsky 's concept of the Soviet Union as a degenerated workers state, they described the new regimes as deformed workers' states.
		In Trotskyist political theory, deformed workers' states are states where capitalism has been overthrown through social revolution, and the property forms have changed into a collectivized planned economy.
		They are degenerated because the working class has never held political power, as Trotskyists believe it did shortly after the Russian Revolution through soviets.

	Steven Wright, (1980), Left communism in Australia
		The workers ought to know by this time that the armed forces of capitalism are not to be played with by those who sing "Hallelujah I'm a Bum" and throw brickbats.
		"TO OUR READERS" appealed the November 1948 issue of the Southern Advocate for Workers' Councils.
		The State's new role, taken to the extreme in Soviet Russia but essential to one degree or another in all capitalist nations, was due to an underlying shut in the nature of bourgeois society.

	The Colonial Revolution and the Deformed Workers' States
		The rulers of the deformed workers' states would look with trepidation at the rise of a healthy workers' state in the industrialised countries because of the social reverberations it would provoke in their own countries.
		The proletariat and people of the advanced workers' states would give aid and assistance to a workers' state in a backward country, linking the economies together, and sending tens of thousands of technicians to small countries and hundreds of thousands to one with a big population.
		The horrible caricature of workers' rule in Russia, China, and the other countries of deformed workers' states attracts them precisely because of the position of the 'intellectual' educated cadres of that society.

	Fourth International - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These states were described as deformed workers states in an analogy with the degenerated workers state in Russia.
		The split was centered around the Shachtmanites disagreements with the SWP's internal regime but in the background was their rejection of Trotsky 's degenerated workers state analysis of the Soviet Union.
		At first, the International held that the USSR was still a degenerated workers' state, but that the recently invaded East European states were bourgeois entities, because revolution from above was not possible.

		Their position is that, as there were never proletarian revolutions in Eastern Europe or China, those states remained bourgeois, and that the only authentic workers' state in history was the Soviet Union.

	Balance Sheet on the Socialist Workers Party (U.S.A)
		The party leadership ignored the majority of women workers who did not have industrial jobs—even though these female workers were winning better job conditions, wage increases, protections against sexual harassment in the workplace, an end to age discrimination, affirmative action programs, parental leaves, child care provisions, and other benefits.
		The role of Cuba, and of its leadership headed by Fidel Castro, was elevated further with the crushing of the Grenadian revolution and the SWP leadership's conclusion—reflecting Castro's attitude—that the foundations of Nicaragua's workers' and farmers' government have been eroded as a result of the wrong policies pursued by the Sandinista leadership.
		A political organization which is unable to tell the difference between an advancing workers' struggle on the road to victory and one that has been suffering from a dead-end strategy and repeated setbacks can lay little claim to being a revolutionary vanguard party in the United States.

	Workers’ Liberty and the Third Camp
		Using the mask of Rizzi, Trotsky acknowledged that should Stalinism outlast the war, then he would be forced to re-evaluate his designation of Russia as a "degenerated workers’ state" which should be defended against imperialist attack.
		The Workers’ Party did indeed disagree on the place of Stalinism in history in 1941, with the majority agreeing with Shachtman that it was more progressive than capitalism, but these were what were later recognised as "hangovers" from Trotsky’s analysis and soon dropped.
		Whilst the Stalinists were busy wiping out militant workers (including Trotskyists) in the countries where they seized power, the Fourth International was busy claiming that peasant-based guerrilla armies could create workers’ states without the active intervention of the working class and without the existence of a Bolshevik Party.

	Max Shachtman: Pre-War Perspectives and Post-War Realities (1945)
		Our questions dealt with the theory that Stalinist Russia is a “degenerated workers’ state,” the theory set forth by Trotsky, and now thoroughly sterilized by the spokesmen of the Socialist Workers Party.
		Effectiveness for the revolutionary party requires a careful, concrete understanding of the given period in which we function, the given situation, the actual relationship of forces, the actual trend of social and political development; and the working out of policies corresponding thereto.
		The first official answer is given by the leaflet of the party himself, in a speech delivered on the occasion of the 28th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution (Militant, Nov. 17, of 1945).

	The Origins Of Conservative Foreign Policy
		Burnham had come to share Trotsky’s conviction that the Soviet Union was not socialist, but a "degenerated workers’ state" that was "transitional from capitalism to socialism." He also agreed with Trotsky that Stalin had "betrayed" Lenin and the 1917 revolution by subordinating the need for international revolution to narrow national and immediate interests.
		The Workers’ Party was an outgrowth of Soviet exile Leon Trotsky’s attempt to establish a Fourth International to promote world communist revolution.
		Burnham broke with Trotsky and the Socialist Workers Party in 1940 after the Soviet Union invaded Finland and signed a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany.

	Glaberman
		Again the traditional position that the Soviet Union was a degenerated workers' state began to raise questions in the party, stimulated partly by the atrocious role of the Soviet Union in the war, the conquest, the Stalin-Hitler pact and so on.
		In the late 1940's the Workers Party was negotiating with the SWP to rejoin the party.
		The Workers Party was influenced by a group of German exiles who developed the theory of regression; that the war and fascism had regressed capitalism into the point where you cannot talk about socialism, but where you had to talk about reviving civil liberties, democratic rights and so on.

	Glossary of Organisations: Co
		The Communist International degenerated after the Fourth Congress when in November 1922, Stalin came to power in the Soviet Union and the Comintern was disbanded in 1943 by Stalin, as a gesture of conciliation with the Allied powers.
		In 1919 the Communist International (Comintern) was founded, and as a precondition for membership all national sections of the Comintern (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Spain, etc.) had to change their name to "Communist," thus moving forward towards distinguishing themselves from the crumbling Social Democracy (and the Second International) of the past.
		A great many Communists, however, saw these moves as compromises to capitalism, and believed from their experiences in the Civil War that the dictatorship of the proletariat meant the dictatorship of the Communist Party above all others, both in times of peace and in war.

	The Socialist Workers Party Pamphlet 1993
		This theory, which claims that the USSR and the degenerated workers' states are capitalist and that the bureaucracy is a collective capitalist class owning and controlling the entire economy, is the fundamental basis of the SWP's politics.
		Its international co-thinkers all agree that the USSR is a capitalist country and are content to unite with the SWP on that basis alone.
		This process went on and on, and was particularly intense in the period between 1973 and 1979, until the party was thoroughly purged of many of its leading cadre.
