    Ngl I’ve been noticing a definitive surge in Pro-Stalin sentiment online and even in academia and communist orgs over the past year. And that is by far one of the most promising signs in the ideological development of current ML: Communists unapologetically, but critically reclaiming the most propagandised parts of their own history. ML can only surge again when we’ve wrestled with and come to terms with Stalin.

        If de-stalinization following Khrushev’s secret speech marked the beginning of the end of the USSR and therefore the global communist movement, the collective rejection of Krushevism will mark a new beginning, a new period of revolutionary struggle. That leap is coming.
