    What do you think of Stalin?

    Here is what he had to say in an interview with German author Emil Ludwig when asked if he 'ruled through fear' “Do you really believe that we could have retained power and have had the backing of the vast masses for 14 years by methods of intimidation and terrorisation? No, that is impossible. The tsarist government excelled all others in knowing how to intimidate. It had long and vast experience in that sphere. The European bourgeoisie, particularly the French, gave tsarism every assistance in this matter and taught it to terrorise the people. ... Just now you asked me whether everything in our country was decided by one person. Never under any circumstances would our workers now tolerate power in the hands of one person.” Joseph Stalin, Works. Vol. 13, p 111-112 Taken from '81 YEARS SINCE V-DAY! | London Soviet Memorial Commemoration' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnARhQ6jy_s --------------------------------------------------- Subscribe!

    Joti arrested by Kenyan police on demo – Garland Nixon & Joti Brar, ep 60

    Reproduced from ‪@garlandn‬ with thanks. This week I spoke with Garland Nixon about my recent experience inside a Kenyan police cell. Why were we in Nairobi joining an anti-imperialist conference and then a street protest against the France-Africa summit in the first place? What is France’s interest in Kenya, and what is the Kenyan government’s role in Nato and in the African front of WW3? And what can three days and nights in police cells teach us about the nature of the Kenyan state and its relationship to its own people? What do the conditions and processes we experienced there reveal about the nature of neocolonial rule in Africa? One other notable aspect of our incarceration was that while it was major news in Kenya and some other parts of the world, the British media, British political establishment AND the British 'left' (antiwar movement, trade union movement, 'independent' media, various 'communist' and 'socialist' parties) all maintained a strict silence over the event. No one here seemed remotely interested in highlighting the unlawful locking up of a British citizen and anti-imperialist activist in a nation that is known to be a close 'ally' (proxy) of Britain. Meanwhile, the political nature of our detention was made very clear to us, since the Kenyan state had to break its own constitution and the police had to override all their own procedures to keep us locked up for so long without bringing us to court. It was made clear that the orders came from 'on high', but HOW high? Were those giving the orders inside or OUTSIDE the country? The fight for freedom and sovereignty in Kenya and Africa continue, and our comrades in the CPM Kenya are building a broad movement that aims to carry through the national-democratic revolution that was denied the people in 1963. Their activities and the growing anger of the impoverished masses has clearly put fear into the ruling comprador elite and their imperialist paymasters.

  3. How a 'stop the war' campaign supported war

    How a 'stop the war' campaign supported war

    Taken from 'Imperialism on Trial – Joti Brar' ( • Imperialism on Trial – Joti Brar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFbWgd23qIE) Joti Brar makes particular reference to the 2011 war of destabilisation and regime change waged by the US led NATO coalition against Libya in 2011. She relates this campaign in particular to the wider objective of the US to contain and subdue the independent nations of Russia and China, which stand in the way of US global economic and military domination. Libya had been the most prosperous, and arguably the most socially and economically egalitarian and progressive nation in Africa, until NATO waged an illegal war to destroy its government and infrastructure. John Rhees (SWP/Counterfire/StW) and Stop the War went out of their way to portray the regime change as a ‘popular revolution’ and the democratic anti-imperialist leadership of pre-2011 Libya as ‘a brutal dictatorship’. Andrew Murray (CPB/Labour) talked of the ‘democratic content’ of NATO’s colonial war. Owain Jones (Labour ‘left’ champion of Corbynistas everywhere) opined “we all want Gaddaffi’s overthrow dead or alive” and lent support to the NATO bombing to death of 50,000 Libyans. If any of these charlatains now dare to speak out against the Slavery of Black skins that is the result – they should be shouted down as the hypocrites they are. ______________________________________________ Subscribe!
