For My Comrades, Imperialism Could Only Be Capitalist. If I Affirmed That the Ussr Was Imperialist, This Implied, They Said, That I Actually Shared the Theory According to Which in the Soviet Bloc There Was a Form of Capitalism: the So-called State Capitalism. But It Never Occurred to Me to Agree With the Supporters of This Theory, in Any of Its Numerous Variants. I Had Lived in the Realities of This Bloc All My Life, I Knew the Marxist Theory of Capital Well and, Furthermore, I Now Lived in a Capitalist Society: All This Was Absolutely Enough to Know That in the Soviet Bloc There Was No Form of Capitalism, That This Had, in Effect, Been Abolished.

It is False to Maintain That the Ussr Entered This War in . It Did So in , Invading Poland in Collusion With Germany. What Determines Whether a Social Group Constitutes a Class is Its Participation or Not, as Such, in the Class Struggle (It is the Thesis of the Primacy of the Class Struggle Over Classes). What Determines Whether a Power is Imperialist is Its Participation as Such or Not in the Struggle for a New Division of the World Among the Great Imperialist Powers.
