Alongside the Russian workers' attempts to create socialism not as some abstract far-off utopia in a political party program, but through confronting and changing the concrete reality of their everyday life were the activities of socialist parties, supposedly sympathetic to working class aspirations.

Through a critical examination of the limits of SWP guru Tony Cliff's analysis, Marot demolishes the popular myth that Trotsky and his Left Opposition within the Bolshevik Party in Russia were, during the 1920s, a heroic attempt to defend working class interests against a Stalinist 'socialist construction' and repression that they disagreed with. An effective factual antidote to leftist and ICC-type left-communist apologetics for Trotsky and Trotskyism's anti-working class character in Soviet Russia.
