2 (1) May 2025. Happy May Day comrades. I wish I could say this should be a jubilant and rejuvenant post, but saying so is a lie, and to comrades on this special day, nay less. I have to be honest with you, comrades. The troubling news from Theory Underground has reached me, and it is upsetting, or hurtful in a personal sense, for one 'inter-connected' reason. During the existence (the real, weekly existence) of the Left Margin Reading Club, there was an unquerried assumpt

18 January 2025 I anticipate that the Merry Stalintime Address— that I am still celebrating the event itself —may upset comrades. Having perhaps expected a more radical turn in Gladsnost and Politstroika, these comrades may think I have betrayed or deceived them. Fear not, comrades! As they say in the East, 'Sovetsky Soyuz not dismembered one year, Tovarishch Gorbachev take half-decade'. If Gladsnost and Politstroika were truly empty Party Congress resolutions, why then shou

'The Stalin Problem is really a socialism problem, and that is my problem with the Stalin Problem'. —Upcoming Article, Musings on The Stalin Problem for Gladsnost and Politstroika Comrades, the next Merry Stalintime has come again. This is a glorious, noble holiday, which is the common legacy for all communists to celebrate. The spectre of our man of Steel yet haunts the Victims of Communism in DC, Rome, Berlin, and Wien, and soon perhaps Tel Aviv. Though r

17 December 2024. Comrades, what I am about to say I have already echoed in the article titled 'A List of Problems on the Left' ( here ), from Section VII. A Final Word for the Future . 'My point for the above is that many impatient Marxists in the West do not understand that Comrade Brezhnev, and to-day Comrade Xi, are evidence of socialist success.

22 October 2024. I am not feeling well at all, so I am issuing this less cohesive, truncated version of the opening discussion on the new policies of Gladsnost (Cordialness) and Politstroika (Political {up}Standing). I will so call that planned formal article something like 'Report Outlining Problems on the Left for the Policies of Gladsnost and Politstroika', as opposed to the informal title of this article.
