sounds to me like post-soviet ukraine has engaged in a sustained and deliberate program of genocide through economic means, as required by its capitalist ideology

Hey someone upvoted an old post in this thread and I think a good self-criticism for me here is that DSA’s imperialist platform wasn’t a reaction to the New Left, as someone here explained to me, the Harringtonoid DSA leadership were always massive Red-baiting tools and supported the U.S. invasion of Vietnam early on. i think some other parts of the post hold up though & I had fun reading that whole page again so thank you for your support.

my one post on that page appears to be mocking a fellow poster for taking youtube seriously. Correct as always

Harrington supported the war against Vietnam until the Democrats didn't iirc which is even worse

i looked at grover furr's web site just now because i wanted to see if he had had written anything about the late stalin period and the campaign against 'cosmopolitanism' that liberals say was anti semitic. i didn't really find anything but it turns out that grover has been exchanging polemics with a trot from the magazine 'Historical Materialism':

My Reply to Reviews of Two of my Books by Jean-Jacques Marie in Historical Materialism.

In December, 2021, Historical Materialism (HM), a British journal, published reviews of two of my books by Jean-Jacques Marie. Marie is the most prominent Trotskyist academic in the world today. (Marie’s review of Yezhov vs Stalin (YS) ; of Khrushchev Lied (KL)

Both of Marie’s reviews are full of crude personal insults and attempts at sarcasm. They are also full of shocking errors.

HM, a journal open to social-democrats and Trotskyists, participates in what I have termed the Anti-Stalin Paradigm – meaning, that they will publish nothing except negative statements about Stalin, regardless of the evidence. I assumed that they would reject my reply to Marie, and they did.

Here, then, is my reply to Marie’s incompetent and ignorant reviews. I welcome comments and criticisms.

Grover Furr, December 29, 2021



i also hadn't realised that furr and losurdo had corresponded about stalin before losurdo's death, it's quite interesting to read: http://domenicolosurdo.blogspot.com/2013/01/lo-storico-statunitense-grover-furr.html
