The rhetoric of this article is not ‘Socialist’, but Indian ‘Nationalist’ along the lines of the BJP and such historical (anti-Soviet) Indian leaders as Chandra Bose (1897-1945). If the UK should ‘apologise’ to India, then India should apologise to the world (and its own suffering masses) for becoming ‘capitalist’ in 1947 (when the British Labour Party granted it ‘Independence’), whilst its politicians deliberated rejected the ‘Socialism’ the Indian people so desperately required, instead adopting a pro-Western and anti-Communist position in the world. Genuine Marxist-Leninists should be very careful before associating themselves with this type of Trotskyite (distorted) narrative. This article is neither ‘Marxist’ nor ‘Leninist’, but smirks of the very nationalistic racism it claims to be exposing and uprooting!
There is no indication that he is depressed or suicidal in his thought processes, which are more than usually critical of the ignorant West which embarked upon a futile ‘Cold War’ trajectory after the death of Roosevelt in April 1945. Indeed, this book bizarrely carries an ‘Epilogue’ by US historian Harrison E Salisbury, who tries desperately to ‘keep up’ with Alexander Werth, when in fact the Cold War nonsense Salisbury published is exactly the same anti-Soviet hysteria that Werth laments! Furthermore, Harrison, who considers himself an ‘expert’ upon Communist China, was nothing but a Eurocentric racist given the task of demonizing Communist China in the eyes of the American public. Yes, Harrison was a Cold War fool, but even after rambling for a number of pages about his ‘Stalin in Korea’ conspiracy, he mentions nothing (in 1971) about Alexander Werth supposedly ‘killing himself’ six months after the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. One would have thought that such an opportunity to ridicule and demean the USSR would not have been missed, even if Harrison was pretending to keep up a veneer of academic scrutiny.
Although many quite rightly concentrate on Peter Mandelson or Tony Blair as the architects of ‘New’ Labour, in reality these were only frontmen for Philip
My considered article about Winston Churchill – designed to coincide with the latest bourgeois propaganda movie release ‘Churchill’.
As an indication of the bourgeois excess on display at the time, (and probably a light-hearted allusion to Mohammed Ayub Khan’s undemocratic means of seizing power in Pakistan), the marching band finished its display by aiming its rifles and firing blanks at the press corps – a pre-arranged stunt that saw the press corps raise a ‘White Flag’ in surrender.
