More discussion of the article “Lies concerning the history of the Soviet Union.”

Letter to the editor

After Stalin’s death, Khrushchev took the Soviet economy and society in a direction away from socialism. He put the economy and society in reverse, split the international communist movement, and in doing so, vilified Stalin. So this is a discussion that we must have. If we are truly communist, then we must face the truth. We must admit that for his own political ambition, it was Khrushchev and not Stalin that deviated from the communist path. Because there has been so much anti-communist propaganda in our country, some of us have fallen victim to it, and have repeated the lies of the Trotskyites and others. We must properly explain the ideas of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin. That is our job.

Stalin was a genius. His contribution to the science of Marxism and Leninism is immeasurable to say the least. I would invite Communists all over the globe to read articles on com Stalin by Com Shibdas Ghosh,the founding general secretary of Socialist Unity Centre of India (Communist)who was the first to uphold Stalin when krushchov was denigrating him!
