#Stalin warned that if cadres stopped reading " #Capital", it could very well result in #capitalist restoration in the #SovietUnion. He said memorizing pamphlets wasn't enough. He said you must be well-versed in the #economic side of things.

"Yes, but don't forget his pal, #hitler. He was just as bad!'

From https://t.me/pravdaGerashchenko_en

In #Russian #Yekaterinburg, a 75-year-old pensioner was convicted for calling #Stalin a dictator and a murderer.

The court found #Nikolay_Dolgushin guilty of "rehabilitation of #Nazism" over his comments on the #Odnoklassniki social network: "The #Second_World_War was started by the dictator and murderer #Stalin," and "It was the murderer and dictator #Stalin who declared war on peaceful #Poland."

Josef Stalin - Er ist wieder da

Der sowjetische Diktator Josef #Stalin war ein #Tyrann und #Massenmörder, verantwortlich für Deportationen, Erschießungen und Hungersnöte. Doch heute wird er in #Russland wieder verehrt, nicht nur mit neuen Denkmälern. Was steckt hinter dem Stalin-Kult?

Mit Jörg #Biesler

Today in Labor History August 12, 1936: The First International Brigades arrived in Spain to fight against Franco. Organized by the Communist International, between 40,000 and 60,000 men and women from around the world fought on the Republican side against the fascists. 10,000 of them died. Thousands more international activists joined anti-Stalinist forces, like the socialist POUM, or anarchist groups, like the FAI, CNT and the Durruti Column. Americans defied federal law to participate in the International Brigade, as members of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Famous Lincoln participants included Avant Garde composer Conlon Nancarrow, labor organizer Delmer Berg, scifi author Theodore Cogswell, novelist William Herrick. The Tom Mooney Company, named for San Francisco labor organizer, Tom Mooney, who was wrongly imprisoned for the WWI Preparedness Day bombing, was commanded by African American labor organizer Oliver Law, the first African-American to command an integrated American military unit. Many African-Americans joined the anti-franco forces. Langston Hughes, who was writing for the Baltimore Afro-American, said: "Give Franco a hood, and he would be a member of the Ku Klux Klan." There was also a George Washington Battlian, and a John Brown battery. Once the U.S. entered World War II, the FBI recommended that none of the veterans of the Spanish war against fascism be given any promotions within the U.S. military, to prevent the “rise of communists” in their ranks. The House UnAmerican Activities Committee (HUAC) blacklisted all American veterans of the Spanish war.

Gabrielius Landsbergis:

"The current geopolitical moment is often compared to #Chamberlain’s betrayal of Czechoslovakia in 1938. But there is another point in history that could be used as an example...

In 1944, #Stalin, sensing victory approaching, demanded that part of #Poland be recognised by the Allies as part of the #SovietUnion. Instead of rejecting the demands, the Allies ultimately put pressure on the Poles to accept Stalin’s redrawn borders. Sounds familiar"
