Per
What on earth are you doing? You posted just the kind of material I
would expect from a Trot mouthpiece. Where are the writings by Stalin
and his supporters exposing Trotskyism for the bourgeois agent that it
is? Why didn't you post a synopsis of the Jan 1937 Pyatakov trial, for
example, in which Trotsky himself is shown to be the prime agent of
bourgeois intelligence services seeking to undermine the Soviet Union.
Have you read the transcripts of the 1930's trials? I don't think so.
Some of your titles are lies themselves. The so-called testament of
Lenin was never suppressed by anyone. Even Trotsky originally admitted
that. In fact, Stalin discussed it at a Central Committee meeting
before everyone.
I am surprised and quite disappointed in you. Should this occur again
a reassessment will be in order.
For the cause,
Klo
