>Most of the left, including the Marxist left are just decent "normal" people 
who in the West can enjoy and do enjoy basically good life, as good as can be 
reasonably expected under the present human condition . . . . And I honestly 
cannot blame them for
that.  To become a revolutionary force Marxism needs those who can be both
cold and hot.  But the modern Western society tends to produce the lukewarm 
type of humanity.  And, perhaps, it's the kind most suited for life.        

I must say that looking back to my Soviet life from within the catastrophe of
the present I feel a little bit like Nietzsche "reevaluating all values". 
Actually, I have developed tremendous respect, even awe for the Soviet
bureaucracy who once I so sincerely despised, especially after daily radio
tête-à-tête with the unforgettable Russian teams of the BBC, VOA, Deutsche
Welle, and Radio Liberty. If back then someone vile would have told me that
one day I would give a second thought to such demonic acts of Soviet
bureaucrats as the Stalin-Ribbentrop Pact or the deportations of the entire
peoples and ethnic groups, not to mention the Trials and the Terror, the
Doctor's Affair and so on and so forth, I don't know what I would have done to
that person.   . . . Now I feel almost tenderness
toward those gray old men.  They and we had something very important in
common:  neither how to sell things.

I was deeply moved by your statement. Nevertheless, the Marxist in America 
should be called on the carpet and asked to explain the logic of their history 
and why at the moment of the Soviet proletariat greatest need - when their hand 
was extended for help, we proved unworthy. Nestor question is valid and I 
have no shame, only steel resolve. The great need of the soviet proletariat is 
connected in history with the rise of the buffoon Nikita. 

Let me be clear sir. There was nothing wrong about the conduct of glorious 
Molotov - the foremost statesmen of the world proletariat, in its diplomatic 
encounters with bourgeois property. Was it not glorious Molotov that paved the 
way for Stalin in the diplomatic arena? I took a position as a youth to defend 
with my blood the Soviet brigade and shall not waver. This personal commitment 
was not on the basis of the historic CPUSA/Trotskyite axis in America but a 
development that took place in 1967 Detroit. I am one of the last of my kind 
left in America. 

The former Society proletariat must know our love of them. They slaughtered 
us in our millions for so long and incarcerated us at a level unprecedented in 
human history. I am not a man that measure one mans bloodletting versus anther 
man blood. Our hatred of these mutherfuckers has no bound. Because Stalin 
stood up against the odds world mechanization of the bourgeois order had to be 
instituted or the logic of history today would be very different. Did the 
Soviet 
peoples paid an awesome price? Yes and I am forever in debt. I am moved to 
tears. .,man. 

I am not moved in the realm of politics by ideology but the correlation of 
forces - good versus evil, proletariat versus bourgeois. The Stalin-Ribbentrop 
Pact made sense when it was enacted and makes sense today. It has never - not, 
made sense. 

One has to understand that European reaction to Bolshevism - ushered in with 
the help of bourgeois Germany in her attempt to take Russia out of the war, 
expressed itself as German fascism. German fascism was not an inner response to 
just the German workers but to Bolshevism. Lenin said that the bourgeoisie 
would sell us the rope in which to hang them. Stalin said that every hillock 
gained gains time. The Stalin-Ribbentrop Pact gave us time. 

I have something to say but cannot say it because these fucks take everything 
away from me and say that Stalin was not shit and the Soviet brigade was not 
honorable. 

I am so ashamed.  I am so ashamed that I cannot forgive myself and I did 
nothing to anyone. What you called Soviet harshness was not felt and understood 
on 
the basis of imperialism.  I understand the hardships and bloodletting of 
Soviet society! I am not fool enough for ask a man to repudiate his experience. 
You do not understand America and who is on the bottom and I have never been on 
the bottom. It's deep. 

I will answer Nestor's question with a detailed general description of our 
working class movement and what we have faced - but not now. Nestor deserves a 
straight answer and it will not be given on the basis of ideological 
proclamations about this group and that group. 

Why it took you two decades to understand the obvious - for the communist 
worker in any country, is part of the problem. 

I am so ashamed.  :-(
