Hi, the source for the Wheatcroft calories graph is his The First 35 Years of Soviet Living Standards, particularly Appendix 2. This paper can be found online here (PDF)
Hey. Yeah I'm on fb and aim, I think we are even in one aim group together. I'll PM you my facebook.
I've never seen anytyhing by the CPGB-PCC regarding Kronstadt, nor have I ever seen DNZ mention it at all, in fact, DNZ supports Menshevik-Internationals and Left-SRs against the Bolsheviks in 1918, going as far as to say that those two should have removed the Bolsheviks like the Bolsheviks removed the Provisional Government and created a coalition government. So fuck off and get bent jackass.
Lol
so have you looked into the subject before starting the book? We could discuss our previous ideas about capitalism vs socialism in the USSR. I personally call USSR "State Capitalism" since that is what Lenin was aiming for in 1922. It then liberalised its markets in the 60's, but the relation of the worker to his surplus never changed.
