From the same author who said Gorbachev was misunderstood.
Western imperialist “leftistm” in a nutshell. Get fucked shitstain.
Also, if you’re going to do a “umm akshually Jacobin isn’t all that bad” I don’t give a fuck. They literally allow right wing imperialist authors to post there.
Look at me, I have this totally unique totally not Western propaganda view of Stalin:so-true:
:stalin-garrison: What would happen if capital succeeded in smashing the Republic of Soviets? There would set in an era of the blackest reaction in all the capitalist and colonial countries, the working class and the oppressed peoples would be seized by the throat, the positions of international communism would be lost.
All the powers of the West have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this ghost: Priests and Academics, Americans and Europeans, Democratic Socialist and State Intelligence Operatives.
Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as Stalinist by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of Stalinism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?
Two things result from this fact:
I. “Stalinism” is already acknowledged by all Western powers to be itself a power.
II. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Stalin with a manifesto of the party itself.
(Disclaimer: I have not made this copy paste and edit job of the opening paragraph of the Manifesto with any intent of accuracy or argument, this is for fun, do not argue with me I will be sad.)
