Their Trotsky and Ours

Their Trotsky and Ours

"Their Trotsky and Ours" is a political book by the American Communist Jack Barnes, leader of the Socialist Workers Party. It is based on Barnes' speech and explains the SWP's view on Trotskyism. Barnes repudiated the traditional Trotskyist understanding of Permanent Revolution in favor of a view embracing Cuba, Nicaragua and Grenada as communist states. The speech was a preface to the expulsion of a significant minority of the SWP, and was regarded by the opposition as a complete break with the party's traditions. [See George Breitman in the introduction to [http://marxists.org/history/etol/document/fit/dontstrangle.htm Don't Strangle the Party] .]
