    That was Stalin.

    lol

    USSR also liberated Africa.

    DuBois wasn’t flawed, certainly not in that way.

      Democratic Centralism, not just a Stalin mistake, a party mistake.

      Africa has yet to be liberated. It’s weird to claim that. The USSR (and even Russian Federation) had done a lot of good work for Africa (especially helping end apartheid), but they are still colonized.

      DuBois’s talented tenth is elitist rubbish, which he eventually changed his mind on.

        Nope.

        Angola and Namibia were won under the USSR.

        Africa’s liberation was reversed; now why is that?

        So what?

          You claimed Africa was liberated, by the Soviets no less. You’ve provided examples of Soviets assisting in revolutions in two countries. African countries have very much been Neo-Colonized since their nominal Colonial status ended, including South Africa. African Liberation and New African Liberation are two separate struggles, the answers to them are necessarily different.

          I’ve said the Soviets were wrong on the questions of Palestinian Liberation and they supported men who I disagree with in the Negro Question, speaking of African Liberation is a tangent. My home isn’t Africa my home is in the States. My people need liberation here. The point is, support for any party shall be critical, I don’t care what the Soviets think of certain Black leaders, their opinion is no more important than mine. Just because the CPSU (or Stalin) was wrong on the Israel Question doesn’t mean that I don’t respect them, but it shows that all of us are capable of being wrong.

            They assisted the revolution of every African country, especially Ghana.

            “they supported men who I disagree with in the Negro Question” but they supported men in America that supported African and Black liberation (CPUSA).
