The attempted rehabilitation of Stalin's image is very disturbing.
Indeed. It's not necessary either. We can move on with Stalin's image as the socialist anti-Christ as is and continue building the workers movement all the same. We don't need him. But some act like it's a great betrayal of the movement to not view Stalin as a great revolutionary that advanced the revolution forward like a champ.
Could not agree more. And frankly, refusing to acknowledge the past failures of leftist movements is a form of self sabotage. How will we avoid such pitfalls in the future if we can't honestly reckon with them?
Exactly.
