In exchanges with members of the US Socialist Workers Party, Trotsky defended the analysis of the USSR as a degenerated workers’ state and argued that bureaucracy had not transformed its nationalized property relations into capitalism. The debate reveals how anti-Stalinism did not resolve disagreements over political categories and strategy. Date is representative of the 1939 debate.
