Subject: M-G: Stalin-supporter writes to Northstar Compass



COPY OF LETTER TO THEM.  For X at MIM.

[MIM3 introduction:  The below is a letter sent by a Stalin-supporter to
the Northstar Compass in Canada, which is a pro-Stalin group struggling
with a Khruschevite hangover.  MIM has no official line on Beria that I
know of, but we have no disagreements with this excellent letter.]

December 2, 1997

Hello Comrade Lucas:

Thank you for printing my article on the UPS and Teamsters'
strike but I'm afraid that the strikers are not nearly
Communists and probably not even leftists and would probably
not even know themselves where they stand except that they
want their own benefits while more and more other workers are
losing theirs and still, they are far above the 3rd world.

Yes,  many people call themselves Communist and the western
media goes along with it.  But if Krushchev or Deng were
Communists, then I must be a SPACE ALIEN!

It is a FACT that Communism ended in the USSR after Stalin
was gone.  I won't even get into arguments about this with
others who claim to be Marxist-Leninists.  It is also a fact
that Communism ended in China after Mao.  I don't even know
why people don't consider the possibility that Krushchev was
a spy or CIA operative because he either was this or he was a
bumbling moron idiot.  Any idiot would know that as soon as
Krushchev put in his profit motive, that corruption would set
in and sure enough, it did, as soon as he did this.  So?
Then he couldn't be that stupid.  He HAD to be a spy with the
goal of deliberately ruining the USSR.

Not only that.  There is more and NO ONE ever mentions it so
I hope you print it here.  Few realize that the NKVD and the
NKGB were two different organizations with different
connections to different things.  The NKVD were pretty much a
group of true believers who, unfortunately, were often
outsmarted by some very cunning wreckers, but overall, they
did an excellent job of securing the USSR from hostility and
an inside 5th column.  The NKVD was renamed the MVD and the
NKGB was renamed the MGB.  Krushchev DESTROYED the old NKVD
and its ability to check corruption and gave almost total
power to the KGB.  Few even realize that the tiny MVD still
existed but it was nothing like the old NKVD which did an
excellent job.  I'm one of the few people even in Communist
circles that has the guts to defend this organization.

I wrote a good review of "Another View of Stalin" which is the most
EXCELLENT book to come out about Stalin. [Forthcoming in MIM Theory--MIM3]
But I disagreed with one part, the part where Martens puts Beria down and
the part about suspicions that exist about Stalin's death.  First of all,
even in a backward hillbilly town in the USA run by dimwitted cops here,
IF anyone was going to be a suspect if they thought Stalin was murdered,
it would have been the FIRST PEOPLE to find him laying on the floor, or
the last person who saw him!  Now, consider that everyone there at the
time wondered why Stalin was not up so late.  WHY didn't they knock on his
door?  Consider that the people, maids, cooks, etc. found Stalin laying on
the floor: WHY didn't they call a doctor?  By the time Beria got there and
saw Stalin, Stalin was peacefully laying down on a couch!  Beria didn't
see Stalin on the floor or have any reason to know Stalin's waking hour or
any of that.  But the people around him DID. 

Some Comrades want to spread suspicion on Beria also because
of the security guard around Stalin.  OH?  Stalin had to have
known that the guards were gone or replaced, he may have
ordered this himself.  No one knows.  But Stalin had to have
SEEN this.  If Beria wanted to harm Stalin, he had plenty of
chances to do it during the Nazi attack, yet he went crazy
trying to protect Stalin when Stalin wanted to take a walk
with the Nazis all around and bombs all around.  Beria wanted
to protect him and he did a GOOD JOB by Stalin.

Everyone wants to complain about Gulag, but there are more
people in USA prisons than ever were in gulags and I'm sure
that every one of them will insist they didn't do anything
either.  Gulags weren't even jails and my uncle's father,
wanting to find work during the 1930's and unable to read or
write, ASKED to be sent to a gulag because there was work
there!  Nobody ever hears about that.  It is true that most
people got into Gulag by first committing a crime, so I would
imagine that NKVD thought my granduncle was strange for
asking to be sent there to work.  But there was work and
people DID GET PAID there!  It was just cold, but if you
always lived in the cold regions, you'd be used to it.
People did live around there.  The point is, that the
imperialist presses and liars try to make something out of
this when there is nothing to be made of it at all.  Gulag
was not concentration camp.  It would be LIKE IF you lived in
New York City with a white collar job, central air and heat
in a nice apartment, subways and temperate weather and then
you started to act strange, so the government sends you to
someplace like Frostproof Florida to work in an orange grove
or something where there is no central air (no need for heat)
and it's HOT all the time and two seasons, wet and dry and
when it rains it is torrential raining, and there are hardly
no roads, just sand that's like sugar and almost impossible
to drive a car in: you'd have to see the place to understand
what I'm saying, but it would be IDENTICAL to being sent to a
Gulag if this happened.  Yet people live in Frostproof right
now, people from cities actually moved TO the place to live!
The LIARS try to make something out of this more than it is.

If a person is not a Stalinist or Stalinist/Maoist, then I'd
say the person is NOT a Communist.  Hell, they call China
Communist right now and yet they practice lassez faire
capitalism in China!  So how is this Communist?  The USSR may
have been sort of socialist and also imperialist sort of,
under Krushchev, but that's NOT Communism.

Also I'm SICK of hearing about the "poor kulaks that got
murdered." There were only a few thousand of these SLAVE
OWNERS that were killed by peasants revolting as Ludo Martens
finally spelled it out.  I WISH it was 7 million of them!
I'm SORRY it's NOT 7 million of them.  They want to whine
about how we Reds bust heads.  Bullshit!  They have been
busting our heads in a million different ways for CENTURIES
even before capitalism was around and this is always ignored.
Like, they imagine that only the slave is violent, the master
is never violent.  That's the imperialist mentality.

It ended with Mao in 1976 and it ended with Stalin in 1953
even BEFORE Krushchev came out into the open in 1956 as a
TRAITOR.  Now what do we have to fight against?  A New World
Order?  Globalization Imperialism?  Russia has gone over to
the Anglo-European-American side with NATO and NATO is there
to go against the entire 3rd world, including 90% of what
used to be the USSR.  They even openly SAY this on
television, on a "Learning Channel" show on Cyber Warriors,
about the internet.  It hurts my heart to THINK of this.
We are only little cogs on a wheel, Comrades, and I fear what
is going to happen to us since the wheel is in the hands of
the imperialist nation, the USA.  And the USA doesn't even
hide this anymore; it's right out in the open.

I don't argue with Trotskyites.  When one Maoist Group
in the USA (who is also pro-Stalin) printed something I wrote
on the internet for these others to see, these pseudo-
Communists, Trotskyites and others, had NOTHING to say in
response.  What could they say?  They are Americans from
American people; as far as I am concerned they are NOTHING;
they make NOISE.  They aren't Communists, the labor movement
in the USA turned out to be all sell-outs and bought off by
the boorjwazi and they did NOT unite with other workers,
They catered to racist thinking, instead.  That's what
happened here.  I think people forget that what Stalin did,
he did with the USSR's indigenous people who were always
there.  What the USA did was with settler whites, whites who
conquered and murdered the indigenous Amerindians and who
built the whole country up with African slaves.  These same
settler whites in the labor movement NEVER had solidarity
with anyone; they only looked out for their own jobs and
catered to the mentality of fascists, at least, that's what
the MAJORITY of them were like and ARE like right now!

HAIL STALIN!
