  • “support” isn’t really the right word, seeing as he is long dead and so is the USSR. Even the Cosmonaut guys, who aren’t really MLs after like an 8 hour long discussion on the topic of Stalin and his life came to the conclusion that he made mistakes, did good stuff, and anyone else would be hard pressed to do any better in his shoes considering the circumstances. a better phrase would be to understand Stalin and his contributions, and not buy into all the lib/nazi bs about his life.












  • A brilliant book, I can’t believe I didn’t read it sooner. It expands on his thinking from Soledad Brother, one could say this book is partly “Guerilla Warfare” and like a proto “Settlers”. Despite his decade plus incarceration, he was far better read on theory at 30 than I sure was. The analysis of fascism is spot on. His points about the need for armed revolutionary soldiers is very important. Having just read “The Jakarta Method”, in which the unarmed Indonesian Communist Party was massacred by the army is a testament to the thoughts of Jackson. He even predicted the downfall of Allende. Although this was from 50 years ago before the rise of neo-liberalism, I feel like this is gaining relevance due to the violence of this political period in the west, as the capitalist pigs have tried various economic measures to curb the revolutionary and uncooperative masses and are now resorting back to hyperfascist strongarm tactics.
