Even by your own telling of history, the revolution only lasted as long as Stalin did. Is he so much better because his project lasted 15 years longer?
Ah, but I thought the revolution was global, comrade? You believe the revolution has failed simply because it failed in Russia? This seems quite contradictory.
:stalin-pipe:
I believe the revolution continued past my death. I believe it continues to this day. When the soviet people took up arms against the Yeltsin coup, the revolution continued, even when they were overtaken.
I should hope a Trotskyist of all people would not be so fatalistic. After all, your tendency has a penchant for setbacks, splits, and failures. A good Trotskyite must be at least two things, pedantic and persistent!
