Trotzky, L. | June 17, 1925 issue

add to cart   close window

The article is in reply by the author to an inquiry by the London newspaper "Sunday Worker." Writer Max Eastman's book is very widely quoted by the bourgeois press. Together with the whole Communist Party author consider that the Soviet system of proletarian dictatorship and foreign trade monopoly is the unchangeable condition for building up the socialist state. The policy of taking into account the interests of the peasant as a small producer cannot be interpreted as a recognition of the superiority of freedom of trade as compared with socialism, for it is only a matter of the gradual and painless transition of the peasantry to socialism through means adapted to the economic conditions and psychology of the peasants.
