Stalin someone must have accidentally tipped over the trash bin of history. You and your revisionist history, revisionist theory and current alliance with the bourgeois liberals has nothing to do with the world revolution.

Democratic liberals are now the ones making moves against free speech. As an example the movement against the 1st amendment to supposedly keep big money out of politics by removing the ability of organizations from entering the political debate. This is to be done through a Constitutional Amendment. A recent decision by the democratic members of the federal election commission which will require the Socialist Workers Party to turn over names of contributors and make them public. This will create a ready made enemies list for employers and anyone else who finds what's printed in the parties associated newspaper the militant or the associated publisher pathfinder press objectionable. The recent efforts in Berkeley by antifa being organized with clubs and shields marked "No Hate" chasing and attacking unarmed people who wanted nothing more than to discuss politics. These efforts under the guise of preventing free speech for fascists will be turned back on the working class in an effort to keep us out of politics. In Connecticut a small rally of Clergy demanded that a list of fascists hate groups be made into a terrorist list and then outlawed. Of course anyone who disagrees with whoever is outside of the two official parties could then be targeted. We've seen this before when the Smith "gag" Act was passed in the late 1930's to stop German Fascists in America and was then used in the early 1940's by the Democratic Party administration of FDR to send 18 members of the Socialist Workers Party and Teamster's union to federal prison. This action was actually endorsed by the Communist Party USA at the time. They would see themselves fall victim in the 1950's doing much longer prison sentences with the same law being used until it was finally ended in the late 1950's.

If systemic racism and re segregation is the problem why is the working class at fault? After all the middle class and ruling class make all the decisions? Seems to me that all the anti Trump forces want a coup d'etat without even a candidate that they can agree on. Every real revolutionary Marxist including Marx, Lenin, and Fidel Castro have always argued against coup d'etat because it produce no real change but just a change in administration.

Stalin there is no doubt that you studied in the school of the great idiot, original photo shopper, biggest slanderer and corrupt bureaucrat. After the ordering the signing of the pact dividing Poland with Hitler you put out the word to support NAZI Germany over the West. Once Hitler broke the pact policy flipped to support for the West. The CPUSA now became the best strikebreakers and your stooge Earl Browder held a national meeting where after a singing of the National Anthem a unanimous vote was taken dissolving the Communist Party into the Communist Political association. At the end of WW2 The Daily Worker announced an end to the Class struggle and permanent victory of the Soviet Union.

We see how happy you are when the Teamster's roll up in some big paper recycling trucks to those big wall street firms with a Smith and Wesson on their hip and a union button on the lapel and read an announcement that the revolutionary government has ordered the confiscation of all stocks, treasury bonds, mortgage contracts and commercial paper for immediate recycling and if that isn't enough the IBEW will provide electronic technicians and electricians to take down any computer hard drives that need hard drive wiping of electronic property records. Once that happens it will break the back of any capitalist resistance and you thought foods stamps were expensive?

Stalin the only reason you won and Hitler lost is because you hadn't finished another deadly purge. This time of Red Army officers before Hitler broke the pact dividing Poland between you and him. If you had finished the purge early or Hitler could have waited a month or so Hitler's armies would have marched all the way to Vladivostok. The smell is so bad I can only conclude that someone must have opened your casket by accident.

Stalin biggest enemy wasn't Hitler, Franco, Mussolini, or Tojo. It was paper, ink, the pen, the typewriter, the mimeograph and printing press. His idea of revolution was to be the losing player in a game of whack a mole where the revolutions were the moles and the imperialists the winning wackers.

Weill Cornell West admits to the bankruptcy of Gandhism and the nonviolent MLK approach vs the Malcolm X defensive approach. "We were there to get arrested but the police pulled back, we couldn't get arrested and then we needed the protection of Antifa and Anarchist folk because the Fascist were coming." "The KKK are just police in different uniforms." Malcolm X.

What's important isn't the oppression of the working class but our ability to combine and fight back. We are the revolutionary class not the middle class with its petty privileges and prayers for salvation.

Stalin you and your gang of corrupt bureaucrats are the reason the Soviet Union collapsed and the Chinese announced the victory of a new Social Democracy complete with a stock market. You dug your own grave and no one wants a corpse as a leader. If you actually read the article you boast about you'd see that on a per capita basis the Black community, over whelming working class, receives about twice the rate of food stamp help that all other races receive. You like your mentor are complete idiots.

Stalin go back to the grave you body smells bad. You died on a floor because no one including you trusted bodyguards wanted you to wake up and order another deadly purge.

Stalin order another purge of your organization we need less not more of you.

Trump and Clinton our your's not ours.

The main aim of the fascists is always to shut down all free speech even if that means losing it themselves. Do not easily be fooled into passing anti fascist laws or thinking the police will protect you from them. Only huge protests by all those wanting political debate, democracy and who reject racism even if they don't really understand all the fine points will drive them back under the rocks they hide under.

We have the experience of government writing special laws against free speech for German NAZI's before WW2. It was called the Smith 'gag' Act. The first people arrested were actually NAZI's and they were found not guilty. The next people were Trotskyists members of the Socialist Workers Party and the Teamster's Union. The actual trial transcript of Party Leader James Cannon was and still is published in, "Socialism on Trial". A large protest by union locals nationwide was organized. The comrades did 18 months in prison. The Communist Party USA hailed the convictions as necessary for the war effort. They spent the whole war being the best strikebreakers money or should I say Stalin could buy. At the end of the war they announced the permeate victory of the Soviet Union and an end to the class struggle. During the 1950's the Communist Party being rightly hated by most of the working class had the same law now used against them with long sentences of five years. They claimed about 100,000 members in 1949 and by the time of the Cuban revolution turned back the second red scare the had maybe a 1,000 members. Now we aren't going to provide lawyers for the fascists if they need them the capitalist will provide them. If the set up a table and try recruiting people for murder by using the words you said they'll be arrested for murder solicitation which is already illegal. If you're interested in more on that subject I suggest Fascism What It Is and How to Fight it by Leon Trotsky. Mostly there are already enough laws to arrest Fascist for their actions and no new ones are needed. Remember they only got 500 people for the biggest national action in decades and the counter protest around the country way out numbered them.

Why go to college and listen to idiots like Professor Cornel West at Harvard when you can read Marx, Lenin and others on the internet. West and friends will be shitting their pants come the revolution. In the case of West he can't think in the box never mind in or out of the trailer park. It's to far from the simple mind of the well off and educated with the proper manners of a Professor. His idea of revolution is opening up new schools for proper edicate and raising more monuments to great thinkers like himself.

Stalin was part of the gang of corrupt and privileged bureaucrats that hijacked the Soviet Union. Had Hitler been able to abstain from breaking the Stalin-Hitler Pact for a few extra months or Stalin be able to complete his purge of Red Army officers earlier German Troops would have marched all the way to Vladivostok.

If they had chocolate bars and cigarettes like American troops it would have been mass prostitution. Naturally whatever the number was it became bigger with the cold war.

Stalin At the end of WW2 Your CPUSA via the Daily World announced the end of class struggle and permanent victory of the Soviet Union. Go back to the grave. The maggots are hungry and need something to eat.

West is just another professor who thinks he's leading the revolution. Now a days they want you to swear allegiance to the "Anti Trump' forces before they can engage in talking with you. In this case West was leading another 'arrest protest'. Where the police arrest him and other 'progressive forces' after which he will denounce the system. In this situation he couldn't get the police to arrest him and now he had to face the fascist forces without any preparation whatsoever. Good job Cornell!! With your kind of leadership where loss is victory we are sure to lose under your leadership.

In times of little class struggle the police force may seem to be there for preventing crime. However the real role of police is to enforce ruling class policy. Ruling class policy since the end of the radical reconstruction has always been one of attempting to contain class struggle within the boundaries of the two parties through voting. The last election saw both parties breaking apart under the impact of the great recession and do nothing policy of Obama. The Democratic machine was able to hold off the Burniecrats but the Republicans were unable to stop former New York Democrat Trump turned conservative Republican. Trump made appeals to the working class while Clinton assumed she had their votes through union officialdom support. Nevertheless she felt it necessary to attack coal miners and call us irredeemable deplorables just for listening to Trump. The same workers who elected Obama now voted for Trump. Trump has given some voice to those the system despises and this is what has gotten the rest of the ruling class so angry with him. The rulers demand that a president listen only to them and their needs while paying only enough attention to the working class that will keep us in line and out of sight.

Phil Esh you are doing nothing more than a supporting a new and revitalized version of eugenics. This time a middle class university education makes you the smart one by virtue of genetics. You'll have no problem bring up the next generation of American Hitler Youth and joining one of the new coming versions of American fascism that has yet to appear.

Stalin lost the German revolution to Hitler. Largest Communist Party outside of the Soviet Union loses to Hitler. Stalin and his gang of corrupt bureaucrats represent unstoppable defeat.

Last time the Klan, NAZI and undercover Federal ATF attacked an anti racist march was in Greensboro, NC killing 8 people on film with no State or Federal convictions by all white juries. In this case also uniformed cops mysteriously disappeared unlike at previous demonstrations.

Victoria Cornel West went there to have himself arrested. He admitted that in the video himself. If your against all that claimed why surrender yourself to the enemy? After all the fascists always have ties if not outright dual membership in the police agencies. You might as well surrender to the KKK or NAZI's when you give yourself up to the police.
1
Stalin what didn't you like about all the rest of the original October 1917 Politburo that made you declare them all fascists and organize all their frame up trials and murders? Why go after Trotskyists? What didn't really like about us?

If he wanted to point that out by getting arrested than he could just go to any prison or jail and get himself arrested. I'm sure the'd be happy to take him prisoner. Then again the police stopped arresting people and filling the jails during the civil rights movement throwing a monkey wrench into Doctor Martin Luther King's nonviolent strategy. King also held an undefended meeting and when the racists showed up he had to call Bobby Kennedy to get protection. Kennedy had to hurriedly deputize mailmen as federal officers to prevent those inside from being killed. At no time did he say that he was protesting the prison system. In the first part of the interview he complains about the police not being their to protect the church service and in the second part he says we were they were their to get arrested but the police pulled back. The police follow orders. That's the first skill they expect from the police. Now if the police arrest Professor Cornell West and they know who he is you don't think they will treat him the same way they treated Freddy Gray do you? They'll have him in the squad car and they'll ask him, "Professor West is it comfortable back there?"and he'll say, "Oh yes my brother I am very comfortable." Then they'll ask him, "Are the handcuffs too tight Proffessor West?" and he'll respond, "Oh no my brother there just right." Eventual he will wind up in front of a judge or a bail commissioner. They'll set bail and he'll ask, "Do you take American Express or Discover Card?" A completely different experience from what a black teenager can expect when being arrested.

Victoria I saw the last antifa action in Berkley. A truck pulling up handing out clubs and shields saying, "NO HATE" and then attacking unarmed people just wanting to have political conversations is clearly a sign that those people were actual fascist themselves. Since they are hidden by masks and the police made no arrests it points to the possibility of the whole thing being organized by the police themselves and police involvement in things like that is almost always assured through informers and provocateurs to begin with. Now once again if you listen to Professor Cornell West himself in the video he thanks antifa and anarchists for saving him and others from being crushed. Were theses antifa the same as in Berkley? I'm not really sure but this whole strategy is wrong because it relies on only a few people willing to be arrested and a only a few armed saviors if the arrest strategy fails. It completely ignores the masses of people who can be brought out to protest against these kind of fascist actions. We want to always keep any type of violence that occurs clearly the responsibility of the police or fascists groups. The police and the fascist don't care about free speech because all they want is to beat everyone into submission. Now I was a young person around in the 1970's and we made similar mistakes but Professor Cornell West and Amy Goodman should know better. Give this some thought and go from there.
