Re: Failure of socialist revolution in the West is fault of Kremlin

You are saying that the failure of socialist
revolution in the West . . . America and 90 years of
brutal segregation is directly attributable to the
Kremlin and not the contempt that the Anglo American
people have poured on the African American masses for
the better part of a century . . . and this is
connected to the lack of Gay Rights and experimental
art in the freaking Soviet Union.

Actually there was experimental art in the Soviet
Union. It was just not exhibited in public places. I
know some of the people involved. They exhibited in
their apartments. Just because something was not
officially sponsored does not mean that it did not
exist.
People in the West really, really exaggerate the
repressiveness of the Soviet Union, in my opinion. I
don't know who is worse on this, the conservatives,
the Trotskyists or the anarchists. They all needed an
Evil Empire to compare themselves too.
