Stalin died today in 1953

Today is the anniversary of Joseph Stalin's death in 1953, possibly caused by the pro-capitalist revisionists, who had already gotten into the highest positions in the Soviet leadership. There are two interesting articles on Stalin in the current issue of Revolutionary Democracy (www.revolutionarydemocracy.org), by Yuri Yemelianov and Moni Guha, a prominent Indian Marxist-Leninist who passed away last April, but they are not currently available online. Anti-communist propaganda taught as factual history in North Carolina's public schools, UNC, Duke, etc. about Stalin are exposed at Grover Furr's website (www.chss.montclair.edu/english/furr/politics.html#STALIN). Alliance ML also has many articles, but the new website is not quite finished.

Moni Guha's article can be found here: http://moniguha.blogspot.com/2009/04/why-was-stalin-denigrated-and-made.html

In defending Stalin, Moni Guha attacks Mao Zedong.

Stalin and Mao were very different leaders, but both were sincere Marxist-Leninists and differences of opinion between them are no cause for surprise. Contradictions exist within and between all things.
