Re: Regarding Louis Proyect

I was cautioned by this email moderator that -
mentioning Stalin wrongs - was unacceptable
since the Trotsky-Stalin History and Debate
Are Not Allowed.

So why is it when I posted anti-Stalin that was a violation
but we see Grover Furr spurious attacks to support Stalin - acceptable?

One can maybe find the actual answers to whom was on a
pro-worker revolutionary path -
and whom was not bt Stalin and Trotsky's orientation to defeat capital harm.

Seems the end of the Soviet Union - now over three decades ago -
seems enough time to allow us and the world left - to make proper
conclusions on what happened - and whom was responsible -
by their strategic decisions to advance a better world?

Will Stalin's School of Falsification be finally exposed
as the failures of other revolutions to bring needed workers to power
to create a better world and needed better humanity and society?

Can we move forward with better agreement with revealing and
sharing all the mistakes and errors - so we can proceed to set up
better models to a successful cooperative needed socialist world.
