Joseph Green wrote: "The importance of defeating the Axis should not be forgotten. But the imperialist acts of the Stalinist as well as Western governments should not be forgotten either."
This is looking backward without useful intent. The reason to evaluate World War Two, and World War One, correctly is for comparison in order to understand problems that will soon face us as contradictions among capitalist powers intensify. Actually, JG does not look backward. He repeats current verdicts by imperialist-serving historians: ignoring the timing of the Soviet agreement with Germany after incessant Anglo-French attempts to launch Hitler against the Soviet Union, accepting the fakery around Katyn, demanding that the Soviets hand over all of postwar Europe to the imperialists right up to the Soviet border, etc. There is no point here in arguing this stuff again. ___ > "It Was a Good War - But Whose Good War?" > at > http://mltoday.com/article/2305-it-was-a-good-war-but-whose-good-war/29 _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
