in the face of growing popular mobilizations across the German Democratic
Republic (East Germany), leading to the reunification of Germany in October
1990. The imperialist rulers thought the collapse of the Stalinist regimes
would open prospects for them to regain what they had lost when workers and
farmers took power in the 1917 Bolshevik-led Russian Revolution. Capitalist
property relations in Eastern Europe were overturned following World War II.</span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

What disintegrated in 1989 were the Stalinist parties across Eastern Europe.

today’s social and economic crisis deepens, prospects have increased that new
