Here’s a bit of work from Paul Cockshott on the Soviet population: “There is a great deal of nonsense spread about the alleged number of deaths caused by the Soviet Government. The number of executions they carried out over the history of the country – somewhere between 600,000 and 900,000 is bad enough, but there…
This video is based on the writings of Robert C. Allen who wrote Farm to Factory: A Reinterpretation of the Soviet Industrial Revolution. The video’s purpose is to make understanding Soviet economics and the industrialisation simple to the lay person. Allen carried out extensive research into the Soviet economy. I highly recommend his book to…
I’d like to present to you a portion of a video I’m currently working on about the Five Year plans in the Soviet Union. The work is based on “Farm to Factor: A Reinterpretation of the Soviet industrial Revolution” by Robert C. Allen. This portion I present deals with the claim by some detractors that…
Here’s a small collection of Soviet election posters: “Everyone to the polls! All to the all-nations holiday of our free homeland!” “All to the polls.” The sign behind reads, “The Polling Station.” “Choose someone worthy!” “Every housewife should learn how to run the state” -(Lenin) “Don’t sit at home in the kitchen, go participate in…
I was sent a post by a friend which has a libertarian talking about “Cannibalism Under Communism.” Of course, since it was written by a libertarian it is so factually incorrect, logically flawed, and without any actual research – we must pause to wonder why he calls himself the “Skpetical Libertarian” (Edward Coke) when he…
Oil and the Global Capitalist Crisis by Caleb Maupin is a speech he gave to the Second Congress of the Trade Union Center of Brazil on February 25th, of this year. His work adequately lays out how the international oil companies have influenced the world economy in their favour. How they’ve destroyed entire economies, and…
One of the most sacredly held attacks against the Soviet Union for its shouldering of the burden in WW2 is the claim that Soviet soldiers raped women en masse as they stormed towards Berlin. This claim is of course not really backed up by anything but hearsay and conjecture. I’ve spoken out on this subject…
I came across this image on Facebook earlier today. Not the poster, but someone else was touting this as proof that Stalin supported Shari’a law. This happens fairly often because there is what is called “Islamic socialism”. Typically this ideology refers to people Mummer Kaddafi, sometimes called “Green Socialism”. Meaning, they feel it’s possibly to…
There’s a new ad popping up on YouTube before videos about a man named Thomas Peterffly. The short version of the story is that he was an immigrant from communist Hungary who came to America and experienced “true freedom”. This video that is available on, what I think, is his YouTube channel. It has his…
