He must really not like me calling him a supporter of the bourgeoisie and having the same idealist outlook as your average trot. So now he trawls this forum looking for stuff I am doing and then sends me messages about it. But like I said to him, people like him should not tolerated on a communist forum and should be openly mocked for the apologia they give for bourgeois states.

Seriously I'm no Bukharin fan, he was politically to the right of Stalin in the 20's, but there is nothing amusing about the Moscow show trials.There were, in fact, amusing and random parts that caused those observing the trials in court to laugh. Here's one of them (pages 622-623 of the 1938 trial):

VYSHINSKY: I have no questions to put to the Commission of Experts. I have some questions to put to certain of the accused.

THE PRESIDENT: You may.

VYSHINSKY: Accused Rosengoltz, as is evident from the record—in Vol. VI, p. 17—when Rosengoltz was arrested, a small piece of dry bread wrapped up in a bit of newspaper and sewed into a piece of cloth was found in his hip pocket, and in this bit of bread was a prayer written out on a piece of paper. I would like the Court s permission to read some passages from the text of this so-called prayer and to ask the accused Rosengoltz to give his explanation of this, (to Rosengoltz.) Do you deny this fact? Here is the text:

"Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. . . .

"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. . . ."

How did this get into your pocket?

ROSENGOLTZ: My wife put it in my pocket one day before I went to work. She said it was for good luck.

VYSHINSKY: And when was this?

ROZENGOLTZ: Several months before my arrest.

VYSHINSKY: And you carried this "good luck" in your hip pocket for several months?

ROZENGOLTZ: I did not even pay attention . . .

VYSHINSKY: Nevertheless, you saw what your wife was doing?

ROZENGOLTZ: I was in a hurry.

VYSHINSKY: But you were told that this was a family talisman for good luck?

ROZENGOLTZ: Something of the sort.

VYSHINSKY: And you agreed to become the keeper of a talisman? I have no more questions.

yeah when I first joined in 2009 he sent me loads of PMs, added me on instant messanger and bombarded me with Stalinist bullshit.

Ironically, his fanatical attempts to 'convert' me to his stalinist religion are one of the prime reasons why I investigated the different left ideologies further and came to the conclusion that I never, ever wanted anything to do with Hoxha, Stalin, or Ismail.

But yeah, when Ismail gets a bit worked up he does tend to go into full out stalker mode.

Cuba to this day continues to be upheld by countless Trots and others opposed to Marxism-Leninism.

I'll take principled opposition to managing capital in 1920s Russia anyday over that.It was precisely those who denounced "Stalinism" that followed the road of nationalist deviation from Marxism-Leninism. As Hoxha noted in 1981, "When our Party began the struggle against Khrushchevite revisionism, the communist parties which made common cause with Khrushchev looked, more or less, like a united bloc with a single line, which was that of the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Today, however, 20 years later, they are split and divided into many trends and factions, are fighting and clashing with one another and have been overwhelmed by bourgeois nationalism and social-democratic opportunism. These former communist parties have been transformed either into genuine parties of the new bourgeoisie ruling in the countries where the revisionists are in power, or into component parts of the structures of the bourgeois state, as in the old capitalist countries."

There's a difference, to me, between looking at historical records of people you both detest and have never known being killed seventy-some years ago, and actually killing someone yourself.

Not that I find this the same as wiping out the Old Bolsheviks, but I also find it amusing that sometimes when the Soviets captured a Nazi officer, they'd sit him at a piano and tell him he'd be shot when he stopped playing. Apparently one guy made it like eight hours before giving up the goose, so to speak; you have to at least admire the Soviets' patience here.

26th October 2013, 20:31
predictably he'll now find and post a hoxha quote imagining hoxha's perceived importance in history...Alrighty, from Hoxha's November 29, 1984 speech on the 40th anniversary of the liberation of Albania in 1944:

For 40 years on end, my valiant Albania, you have kept the honoured flag of Marxism-Leninism flying, just as through the centuries you have kept the flag of freedom flying, the red flag with the two-headed eagle, to which you added a five-pointed star, the star of freedom, the star of socialism and communism.

Not for one moment during the 40 years of life in socialism have you, my people, with the Party of Labour at the head, allowed the new perfidious and powerful enemies to conquer you. Once again you drew the sword, which was now keener-edged, tempered in the fires of repeated battles, and forged on the anvil of history. With this sword you, my Party, mercilessly struck down the imperialists and reactionaries, struck down the modern revisionists of all hues, and compelled those secret revisionists, who, for their own hegemonic aims, seemed to be, and from time to time posed as if they were, Marxist-Leninists and our friends, to throw off their disguise. With these stands and your lofty example, you, my Party, performed your internationalist duty and, at the same time, told others that the struggle against the revisionist currents must not cease, that there could be no agreement or compromise with them, because they were renegades and traitors. The word of our Party, its clear thinking, its courage and determination, shone forth and became beacon-lights for the peoples and revolutionaries in the world.

You, my socialist Homeland, led by the Party of Labour, waged this heroic struggle with astonishing vigour, and your powerful voice was listened to because you rose resolutely against Titoism which was unmasked in the eyes of the whole world as an ideological and political agency of American imperialism and world reaction. Over a long period you have always struggled and raised your voice against American imperialism and all the reactionary bourgeoisie of the world which seeks to keep the peoples and the proletariat of the whole world under its heel, and in the same way you have raised your voice against the Soviet social-imperialists who are struggling for world hegemony, to oppress the peoples by threatening them with the force of arms, and atomic bombs. Later your powerful voice was raised to the skies of this troubled world against the practice and theory of Mao Zedong and the entire Chinese leadership which betrayed Marxism-Leninism and set out on the revisionist course to make China an imperialist world superpower.

Infuriated by the just stands, the determination and the courage of a small people and a valiant Party, the imperialist and revisionist enemies left nothing unsaid against us. They speak and write angrily and with evil aims, «What is this people, what is this Party which is making such a clamour, what are these stubborn creatures who are not afraid to oppose powerful states?! They must be crushed, they must be liquidated, they must be brought to their knees, starved into submission through blockades...» However, they are gravely mistaken, as they have always been mistaken, because they have not known and have not wanted to know the history of the Albanian people, the manly character of the Albanian, have not wanted to recognize what lofty meaning the freedom, independence and sovereignty of the Homeland has always had for the Albanian. As the capitalists, imperialists and reactionaries they are they have thought and still think that nothing can withstand their economic and military strength and their ideology. But, you see, the peoples, whether big or small, have the strength to resist enemies. The peoples who fight always triumph; the enemies are quite unable to destroy the Marxist-Leninist parties which stand unwaveringly on their principles. Marxism-Leninism, which guides the proletariat, the genuine communist parties and the peoples who are demanding liberation and their rights, is invincible. . . .

With their stands and opinions, socialist Albania and the Party of Labour of Albania have given and give heart and confidence to all and tell the proletariat and the peoples: stand as we stand, fight as we fight, because you will triumph as we have triumphed and are triumphing. Our victory is certain, our victory is a common victory, therefore, we must close our ranks in the heat of the war against enemies. Open fire on the revisionists, betrayers of the working class and the peoples, open fire on the imperialist plans of big world capital, because only in this way can the freedom, independence and sovereignty of the Homeland be won, and the revolution develop and triumph. All the talk about taking power by means of reforms is poppycock. The bourgeoisie and capitalism can never agree to allow the working class, the most advanced class in the world to which the future belongs, to take power. On the contrary, every day the enemies of the peoples and the proletariat are preparing sugar-coated poison pills and forging new chains of enslavement, therefore, only by fighting against the old system of the power of capital can the peoples and the proletariat triumph step by step and take power into their own hands. . . .

We have many friends and admirers in the world. Our friends are all the peoples of the world who have a great love and respect for Albania, speak with admiration about our country and our socialist reality, and want to know where we find this strength, because they still do not understand how this reality has been achieved. Therefore, it is our duty to make the victories of the Party of Labour, the Albanian people and socialist Albania known in all their aspects to the peoples, to explain them not only with the present, but with all the glorious past history of the Albanian people. These victories are like a steel chain, the links of which are the revolutionary events inseparable from each other, which represent, at different stages, the permanent ideals of the freedom, independence, democracy, and unity of our nation, of our well-being, culture and ceaseless progress. We must explain to our brothers and admiring friends that this chain of the life of the Albanian people has achieved unprecedented toughness at the present day, thanks to Marxism-Leninism which we are trying to understand profoundly in all its aspects and to faithfully apply its principles in the conditions of our country and the international situation.

Maybe its just me...but yeah..that's enough reason.

Ismail
27th October 2013, 13:03
(which relate to some of the other shitty things he did as a mod, like editing people's posts that he didn't agree with)I literally never did this. As for the events of December 2011, it was the BA and not the moderators who had the final say. Considering that RevLeft suffered a DDoS attack in response to banning various Neo-Nazis, it was evidently not a small issue. You were banned by the BA for their own reasons, I never mentioned you.


(2) the fact that he is the sleaziest debater in the world, who picks and chooses what he responds to out of peoples posts, instead of replying to the totality,Because "replying to the totality" is tedious and most of it isn't worth replying to anyway.


(3) the fact that he routinely slanders people, ie: I'm a chavinist and a Castro shill, Rafiq is a Jucheist, etc..Rafiq claimed that Kim Il Sung acted in accordance with the "objective conditions" of Korea in inventing Juche and replacing Marxism-Leninism with it. Rafiq attacked anyone who denounced Juche as an "opportunist." I never claimed Rafiq was a Kimilsungist, but I certainly did and continue to claim that such a position as his constitutes apologia for Juche, the same way there are persons who act as apologists for Castro, Chávez, and various other bourgeois nationalists by citing the "objective conditions" existent in their countries which supposedly justify anti-Marxist activity on the part of these regimes.


(5) the fact he idolizes a man who butchered more communists then hitler. Maybe its just me...but yeah..that's enough reason.These "communists" were rehabilitated by Khrushchev and Gorbachev, and many of these "communists," as you yourself admit, were to the right of Stalin.
