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

Stalin's recognition of Israel was absolutely one of his worst mistakes, undoubtedly. I will not minimize that, nor was that my intention. However, in the grand context, he was generally more correct than not, which was what I was getting at.
