It is very interesting any anarchist would even consider the transitional programme. There were important class battles of workers and different oppressed layers among the workers and middle classes even in the boom years. We are still in the epoch of capitalist decay since 1914 as identified and analysed by Trotsky. Obviously Trotskyists like Marxists recognise the class nature of states. This shows clearly the author's inaqudate break from Anarchism. As is well known I do not think the workers' states have been totally overthrown in Eastern Europe except for East Germany and Kosovo. This is shown that the capitalists have to share power with the ruling Stalinist castes. This is a sign they have not totally swept Stalinism away.
