  • The fall of “communism”: Why so peaceful?   
    • Twenty years ago the Berlin Wall came down, symbolising the collapse of state capitalism in Eastern Europe.
     
  • The Myth of Soviet “Socialism” 
    • Vladimir Sirotin from Russia explains how that country was never socialist.

  • Workers State? Pull the other one 
    • How could anyone have seriously argued that the workers ruled in Russia?

  • Joining the killing machine 
    • The campaign to win the young to war has come a long way from the ‘Your Country Needs You’ poster with the pointing finger of Kitchener used in the ‘First Great War’.

  • Afghanistan – lying about dying
    •  The pressure to misinterpret the deaths, as the bodies come back, as
    nobly purifying is a cynically orchestrated propaganda exercise intended
    to justify the war.
