I also realized this should probably be moved to the USSR forum.
Thank you so much Ismail! This looks to be an invaluable resource.
"The thing about capitalism is that it sounds awful on paper and is horrendous in practice. Communism sounds wonderful on paper and when it was put into practice it was done pretty well for what they had to work with." -MiG

Szymanski's other work, Human Rights in the Soviet Union, will also be online eventually, as will The Russians Are Coming: The Politics of Anti-Sovietism by a different author.

A post of mine from another forum:
Quote: Ismail wrote: Is this fiction or science-fiction? EdvardK wrote:Well the author had the incorrect view that the USSR after the Stalin period was still socialist, but otherwise it is of some value, at least in criticizing bourgeois conceptions of "human rights" as applied to the USSR both during the periods of Lenin and Stalin and under the revisionists. Ismail wrote: Hahahha... you are the ultimate authority on judging whether a political system of a country which you never visited and you never even existed when it was dissolved, is socialist or not? give me a break, please. EdvardK wrote:Oh, good, this means you have no authority to judge the social system of Albania. And neither you nor me have any authority to judge if the DPRK, modern-day China, etc. are socialist or capitalist, is that correct? Ismail wrote: Yes, in absolute terms which you use as th eultimate thruth and project yourself as the sole authority on shortcomings .. oops sorry, the great moments in Albanian history. EdvardK wrote:I don't see how I was projecting myself as the "sole authority" on anything.

I'm going to wait for permission from the two authors of The Myth of Capitalism Reborn before I scan it. Ismail wrote: Why wait for a petty thing like permission from the two authors if this monumental book was written for the Soviet people and since everything in the USSR was socialized and not private? Ismail wrote: Don't you ALWAYs, and i mean LITERALLY ALWAYS trash every single author or idea which is incongruent with your perception of reality in which you never ever participated? EdvardK wrote:Erm, what? The author of the book attacked Maoists and pro-Albanian persons who held that capitalism had been restored in the USSR. It was published in the US, for Western readers. Quote:You really don't make sense. Ismail wrote: Such outcasts must be dealt with accordingly - a firing squad in Lubianka or in downtown Tirana by Sigurimi would be appropriate, you agree comrade? Ismail wrote: Try to read some books which are unpolluted with your shortsighted ideology and you will be able to see things in different perspectives as well. I'm really sad to see how my opponents (staunch anti-communists) in real-life were labelling communists as shortsighted and limited in the ability to respond, and I must agree with them now. I prefer to be who I am than being a shortsighted narrowminded my-view-is-always-correct-because-i-believe-in-marx/stalin like you. EdvardK wrote:You mean like the book which I just scanned? |
