The theory of socialism in a single country was used as a basis for
developing specific planning policies, goals, and institutions (and for
re-defining the relation between revolutionaries in the USSR and
elsewhere).
Since you say that you do not think that the policies and institutions of
the 30s and 40s in the USSR are appropriate today, would you also say
that the theory of socialism in a single country is not appropriate today?
