By cynical, i mean that they do not believe bourgeois politicians are merely incompetent, and are in fact actively malicious actors. They do not believe there is justification for the wars. They understand that the bourgeois establishment carries out false flag operations and is willing to kill its own people. Among Americans it is still taboo to believe things like this

I’ve been finding that the analysis of current events by a lot of UK (I think this blog is UK-based, based on the content) leftists and dissidents is very different, and generally much bolder in its rejection of capitalist narratives, than what I see from US-based activists. They seem to be much more cynical about their government and corporate media than Americans, which I think is very healthy as it allows them to have a much more honest perspective about the reality of liberal capitalist society, and reality in general. Unlike in the US, where the social engineering effort to stigmatize dissident thought has effectively castrated the left, who today have nothing to say about the problems with the official narratives regarding key events like 9/11, Brits do not seem willing to allow the fear of being called a “conspiracy theorist” silence them. Consequently, there are many crucially important topics being covered by Brits that have been left mostly ignored by the American left, so it’s pretty fascinating to read what they have to say.

The Real Stalin

Probably no other historical figure causes the same heated discussions as that of J.V. Stalin. TV shows about him are broadcast live and recorded; his biography becomes the topic of serious analytical programs and talk shows like “Let them talk.” “Russia” and “First”, Ren TV and NTV, History, Discovery and National Geographic shoot documentaries, which feature Stalin one way or another. He cannot be avoided when the USSR, socialism, Soviet history or World War II are discussed. Discussions about Stalin have been going on in the Internet for a long time. They involve beginners and popular bloggers. Parfyonov and Puchkov, “Namedny” and “Politprosvet” - in the World Wide Web, opinions about Stalin’s era also differ radically.

Say “Stalin!”, and on the one hand you will hear an outrage: “Dictator! Gulag! Repressions!” On the other hand, they begin to reminisce with delight the great successes of the Soviet Union: “From plow to nuclear bomb in a quarter of a century! Industrialization and collectivization! Great science! Victory Day! Yalta Conference! The status of the world superpower!”

However, this heated clash of conflicting opinions, a whirlwind of interesting facts, jokes and anecdotes, as well as historical and military films most often do not touch on one key point. What, which ideas did the man who for a long time headed the Soviet Union and the Communist Party serve?

In the movie “The Real Stalin” we invite the viewer to think about that.

“The task to which I dedicate my life is to elevate another class, namely the working class. This task is not the strengthening of any “national” state, but the strengthening of the state of socialism… If every step in my work were not aimed at strengthening and improving the status of the working class, I would consider my life pointless.” I.V. Stalin.
