The Soviet Union and the Stalin Question

[Comrade Marcel]

The Soviet Union and the Stalin Question

Is it true that millions of people were murdered by the Bolsheviks?
Was Stalin really an ally of Hitler at one time? Did Stalin betray
the revolution? Was Stalin a butcher? What is the difference between
Trotskyism and Marxism-Leninism? What is Revisionism? What about the
Bolsheviks like Bukharin & Zinoviev?

If you struggle with any of these question, or if you want to debate
these issues, you are going to want to participate in this study
course.

This is Study Series on Stalin and the Soviet Union. The purpose is
to discuss the Stalin era, the works and ideas of J.V. Stalin, and
the International Communist Movement now in relation to J.V. Stalin.
Anyone is welcome to participate.

That is an impressive program. I liked the MIM article, I have heard references to it but had not read it yet.

Thanks for the encouraging comment. Since I have publised this I have recieved wide interest, and of course, some negativity from Anarchists.

Do you think, however, that the program may be a bit to long? We are thinking about trying to compress it to about 6-8 sesions (it's just so damn hard to choose what must go!). What do you think?
