This blog is a bit odd, but the article is spot-on.

    I find this article to have several flaws.

    For one, Posadas did not believe the Cold War was between Stalinism and Capitalism. Posadas was a Pabloite, and favored cooperation with the existing Socialist states: he believed they turned into workers’ states after Stalin’s death (seen in “On the Stalin Question”); which accounts for his fervent support of Khruschev and Brezhnev.

    I would also argue that Posadas’ theory of Revolutionary States is also a core tenet, as the modern-day Posadists and their parties attribute both Cuba and Venezuela to be these (in direct opposition to orthodox-Trotskyism).

    This article also seems to ignore Posadas’ transhumanist elements (though I suppose that can account for the ‘New Agey’ stuff), which I find to be much more prevalent and important to Posadas than the nuclear catastrophe.

    The rest of the article, however, is very good imo.

    ¡Viva Posadas!
