		It follows that, while we can and must move forward from the liberal basis of civil and human “rights”, honouring them to a greater extent than liberals are any longer capable of doing, we can and must reject most of what passes for the liberal tradition today.
		In particular, just as the collapse of the Soviet bloc in 1989–91 sounded the death knell for Stalinism, so it is to be hoped that the collapse of the Ba’athist regime has sounded the death knell for the degenerate versions of Trotskyism that long ago sold out to “Third World” nationalism and fundamentalism.
		Socialism is a movement forward from capitalism and liberalism, not an attempt to reverse the advances that they have undeniably made over all the social formations and ideologies that preceded them, and that still influence so much of the contemporary world.

		Nationalist elements in India were surprised and pained when the Forward Bloc decided in 1977 or thereabout to align with the Communist Party of India (Marxist), despite the lurking suspicion that the respected Forward Bloc leader, Hemanta Basu, was murdered by CPI-M supporters around that time.

	Ian Birchall: From Theory to Practice (1975)
		The historical achievement of Trotskyism was to keep alive the Marxist method and its insistence on the revolutionary role of the working class in the face of the barbarous distortions of Stalinism.
		Marxists are not fatalists, and in any historical period there is something for a revolutionary to do.
		With due humility we would again put forward our particular slogan: No negotiations on an incomes policy until the books are open to the workers” [16] it claimed.

	Carlin/Birchall: Eric Hobsbawm and the working class (1983)
		What characterises all Hobsbawm’s writings on current events during this period is the firm belief that Russia and the East European states embody a new and higher level of social organisation, and that the prime duty of anyone claiming to be on the side of the working class is to defend them.
		The long-term effect was that the Group had a new set of ‘allies’ to relate to: Marxist historians outside the Communist Party, such as Edward Thompson and Christopher Hill, with whom friendly relations and professional solidarity continued to exist despite a political bitterness which has survived into the present.
		This is the question of why the revolutionary potential of the working class – the lynchpin of Marxist analysis – has been realised at some times and in some places, and not at other times or in other places.
