Prof. Grover Furr Applies the Academic Method!

Grover Furr: “Trotsky Was a Fascist!” – Talk on Trotsky’s Comintern Conspiracy to the Oakland ICSS October 20, 2024! (5.1.2025)

When it comes to historical evidence there is no such thing as “credibility.” All evidence must be subjected to doubt and carefully studied.

The Need For, and Lack of, Objectivity

Everybody has biases. But everybody can learn to be objective in studying any subject, whether it be physics or history. The techniques are basically similar.

Objectivity as a scientific method is a practice of “distrust of the self.” You can learn to be objective by training yourself to become aware of, to articulate, and then to question your own preconceived ideas. You must be reflexively suspicious of evidence that tends to confirm your own preconceived ideas, prejudices, and preferences. You must learn to give an especially generous reading to any evidence and arguments that contradict your own preconceived ideas.

Alexander Werth – USSR [1942]: Moscow-Front – Examples of Soviet & Nazi Propaganda Leaflets! (19.9.2023)

As a consequence, the US continuously stocks the far-rght and keeps its embers burning from one generation to the next! This is why the work of Alexander Werth is difficult to find nowadays. This British Journalist could read, write and speak Russian, and was privileged in the USSR between 1941-1945 – being taken to the front-lines to see for himself what was happening. Furthermore, he was allowed completely free movement without NKVD supervision. His eye-witness information is an inconvenient contradiction to all the racist lies perpetuated by the US government and its pathetic lackeys! I include below two (2) anti-Soviet – and one (1) anti-Hitlerite – propaganda leaflets (compiled by the Nazi Germans and Soviets) which Werth acquired on the Soviet (Moscow) front-lines. The anti-Soviet leaflets are aimed at the average (ordinary) Red Army soldier and talk of ‘capitalist’ England and America being the greatest threat to world peace! The anti-Hitlerite leaflet informs the average Nazi German soldier that his leaders are hypocritical capitalists ‘pretending’ to be ‘Socialists’!
