Is That a Deterministic Logic?

I've been I've been in some of these Trotskyist socialist parties before and had the same discussion with them. If only it was Trotsky in charge instead of Stalin things would have gone much different, he says. Richard Wolff and Stephen Resnick wrote a book about the Soviet Union where they basically argue that it was state capitalist but we still had two classes. They're like we should pay attention to how maintaining this you know at least exploited ever led to its collapse.
