debatable if it's slop or theory, but probably comrades will soon meet these arguments in the wild, and not that one has to abandon all theoretical considerations over geopolitical realism of the 20th century.

although it's all rather useless, treatlerism stays undefeated whether one thinks stalin was correct or not, got money from cia or not, decided to become culture critic or not

Imagine trying to write a hit piece at perhaps the most rigorous Marxist theorist the West has seen in half a century, couldn't be me. Any article earnestly arguing that "Stalinism" is a) something that exists and b) something that is relevant in any form to 2025 is quite frankly ridiuclous.
