Russia Since 1917

[Thomas_More]

Didn’t the CPGB tell people we were Nazis, and break up our meetings?

[Thomas_More]

But after the war German chemical and steel magnates with blood on their hands were bailed out with bonuses, I believe?

How pitiable it is to hear reports such as that of an old lady trying to buy groceries on one side of the border hearing shouts of “Nazi!” and “Enemy!” coming from another old lady on the other side.

Stalin labelled Trotsky a Nazi too. It’s the favoured Russian epithet, much like “paedo” is in the UK.

In 1945 Japan was desperate to surrender but was blocked by the USA, which was determined to try its new weapon.
Tokyo pleaded with Stalin to get a surrender through to the US. Instead, he declared war and condemned the Japanese workers of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to their fate.
The A bomb explosions were an experiment both Truman and Stalin wanted to see on a live population, as the Cold War was already on the cards.

Stalin also had no confidence in Mao. He supported Chiang right up to 1949. Indeed, Chiang had studied in the Soviet Union and had Soviet advisers before switching to German ones.

Mao, and later Ho Chi Minh too, hoped for American support.

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).

[Thomas_More]

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.

[Thomas_More]

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

[Thomas_More]

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

[Thomas_More]

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.
