EPSR books
A series of books was produced by the EPSR (in its previous incarnation as the ILWP) until the early 1990s, each summing up foregoing analysis in various areas such as Ireland, the USSR and so forth.
The analysis since then has been orientated much more to the very latest grasp in the weekly paper with past analysis accessible by referring to the long headlines on weekly issues (see headline finder).
Longer (small book size) perspective documents have been issued in some years in addition to the paper and these can be found on the Perspectives page. Further perspectives and further books are in preparation.
For the most immediate perspectives please always begin with the latest paper and the most up to date events.

- 21) Unanswered polemics v Lalkar/Proletarian (2003). Against museum-Stalinism:
- Re-assessing the giant achievement of the 20th century workers states is crucial in the great debate stirring as revolutionary turmoil erupts against capitalism's world crisis catastrophe. But taking on anti-communist brainwashing (including Trotskyite biliousness) and resolving the great outstanding questions is flawed by blind Stalin worship, denial of errors, cover-up and sectarian paralysis. Leninism needs rebuilding. [Download available here]
