I also read somewhere that Stalin assisted the German steel industry (?)

The Socialist Party of Great Britain and the War

[Thomas_More]

By definition, Stalin’s “socialism in one country” = national socialism (Nazism for short).

TrollScotsman must also admire the Russian Patriarch as a good example, alongside the Orthodox Christian Putin.
The patriarch says this is a war against sexual immorality (by which he means sexual minorities). So these sexual minorities must be Nazis.

And it was us, the SPGB, who published the Bolsheviks’ anti-war message when no one else would.

Meanwhile Stalin was carrying out his own massacres, and blaming Katyn on the Germans.

Alan, my reply to Wez hasn’t appeared here. I sent it before ALB’s above.

Interesting piece here too, Alan:

Russian Communist lawmaker warns of ‘more orphans’ if Ukraine war continues

Of course, the CP leadership still about silencing any voices that dissent from “the party line.”

When such people are in power, of course, we see them imprisoning, killing and torturing dissenters, like any fascist (Red or White) clique. And forcing workers into killing one another.

Bijou, a very impassioned and apt answer to all reformists.

Which is the movement to burn books?

I remember Soviet Weekly.

And I also got Stalin’s books from Peking FLP:
On The Opposition
Marxism and Problems of Linguistics
and others, all very cheap.

GOOD books were also very cheap from FLP Peking.

As a schoolboy I got China Pictorial, China Reconstructs and Peking Review. From Taipei I got the speeches of Chiang Kai-shek, in one of which he comes clean and says that Mao’s China never had anything to do with communism.

[Thomas_More]

In fact, Bijou, Wilhelm Reich testifies to many links on this matter.
I also recall Captain Merrick from THE JEWEL IN THE CROWN and his sexual dilemmas.

[Thomas_More]

CHINA PICTORIAL had published in 1976 a photo which included Mao’s wife Chiang Ch’ing. Then there were one or two months without an edition. When the subscription recommenced, the same issue came out again, but with the out-of-favour wife replaced in the same photo by a vase of flowers on a coffee table.

Stalin had the same done to photos.
