When Stalin was 71, he had a medical check on September the 4th, 1950. Before bathing his blood pressure was 140/80 with 74 heart beats per minute, but after bathing his blood pressure was 138/75, with a strong heartbeat. Sleep normal – over-all condition is good – Dr Kirilov.
The Soviet system did not commit any atrocities outside of the religiously orientated imagination of the bourgeoisie. Joseph Stalin was a great Soviet leader (see the work of Grover Furr). The working class must break away from the negative conditioning of the Bourgeois system and seek-out the real proletariat historical truth.

Tom Wintringham returned to the UK after the Spanish Civil War and worked as a journalist. He used his experience of fighting fascism in Spain to call for the establishment of a ‘Home Guard’ in the UK made-up of ordinary people defending the area within which they lived from the threat of armed invasion. He wrote a number of progressive books on modern warfare which emphasized guerrilla fighting but were also critical of the class-based system of the UK military.

Jeremy Corbyn has been elected as Labour Party Leader in the wake of the Conservative and Libdems policy of ‘Austerity’, which has been nothing more than an excuse to enrich the middle class at the expense of the working class. The question is ‘why?’ has the Labour Blairite neo-conservative over-lords (who are in the pockets of big business) allowed this to happen? I suspect that a trap has been set by the Blairites to finish off Socialism within the Labour Party once and for all. The thinking is probably something like this; allow a token Socialist to take control of the Labour Party – but in such a manner that does not allow its big business infrastructure to be compromised through Socialistic reform – let him announce a Socialist Agenda, and then watch him lose the next General Election. Once the election is lost, the Blairites can announce to the British people that Socialism is well and truly dead and that the Labour Party must now pursue the more level-headed, middle of the way (i.e. ‘middle class’) direction – in other words ‘Blairite Red Toryism’.
