Lying About Koba

If there’s one aspect of politics that fires my ire as much as any is the willingness, indeed, celerity with which the world’s LEFT swallowed the anti-Stalin awful offal that dripped from the mouth of Khrushchev in his February 1956, 20th Congress CPSU speech in Moscow. Far too many of the Left in this world not only accepted Nikita’s lying propaganda, but of all the others which followed, which was even worse!
Did anyone ask for concrete proof?
NO!
Did they hear any personal testimony that was subjected to cross-examination? No! Did these writers or speakers investigate the accusations themselves, as opposed going along with whatever hearsay, propaganda, or rumour, or gossip that they were fed? Again the answer is No!
Instead, like Lemmings going over a cliff or like children following the Pied Piper, they just acquiesced in whatever seemed to be the dominant theme on the world stage at that time, as programmed by the enemies of socialism and of Stalin in particular.
Any Left critic of the bourgeois media, who has observed the degree to which the crypto-fascist Bushites and other reactionaries have been lying about this American liberalism, and the replies of the liberals that have not been much better, when it comes to veracity, can easily draw the obvious conclusion.
If the rightwing and liberal wing of American capitalism can be that deceptive, duplicitous, inaccurate, and hypocritical when it comes to descriptions of their fellow private property loving compatriots, it does not take a great deal of perspicacity to visualize what they will say when it comes to portrayals of someone who engineered extremely effective opposition to private ownership of the Means of Production, Distribution and Exchange, the most effective, namely Joseph Stalin.
If all capitalist agents will lie profusely, grossly, and repeatedly about their other capitalist agents regarding relatively secondary issues, how can there be any doubt that when it comes to the very existence of private ownership (capitalism) they will of course employ any corrupt tactics deemed viable and concoct any scenarios imaginable to depict a very highly effective opponent in the worst light possible.
Nothing will be out of bounds, absolutely nothing. It is hard to decide which of the two propaganda photos worshipped by the capitalists the world over and that were broadcast most via the lying capitalist media. Was it Stalin lying on his bier, with the Politburo members standing stiffly in respect in March of 1953, or, the spectacle of these very well organized and brainwashed youth chopping away at the Berlin Wall in August of 1991?
Capitalists and their despicable propagandists simply can’t get enough of either. For all of them it is the mental equivalent of ideological ambrosia!
