I think you could trace that trend to a period of time long before Stalin. Don't you think it was manifest in late 19th and early 20th Century German-Austrian social democratic thought (e.g. in the writings of Kautsky)? Perhaps as far back as Engels? Can anyone on the list give references to these claims? Thanks, Dogan
