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

idk, it's hard for me personally to imagine a worse single foreign policy action than dissolving Comintern, short of allying with the Nazis (which Stalin obviously didn't do, despite the claims of many fabulists) or something ridiculous like that

Stalin certainly wasn't without mistakes, that wasn't my point.
