Today, November 7th, we celebrate the 89th anniversary of the 1917
Russian Revolution by republishing an article written by Ted Grant,
originally published in 1967 on the revolution's 50th anniversary. Even
at a time when the bureaucracy seemed almighty and irremovable this
article confidently predicts the downfall of the Stalinist regime.
Then, the political revolution, i.e. the workers coming to power,
seemed a concrete possibility, especially in the light of the 1956
Hungarian events. Unfortunately, because there was no party capable of
leading the workers, the collapse of the Stalinist regime led to the
capitalist counter-revolution. However, this article clearly
demonstrates that the genuine Marxists, the Trotskyists, never had any
illusions in Stalinism and always struggled for its overthrow and for
the workers to take back the power they had briefly held after the 1917
revolution.
