Khrushchev was at the time (1956) an infighter at the highest level vying for supremacy in the USSR. It would be naive in the extreme to take his speech as an accurate exposition. A historian examined the charges against Stalin in that speech and found evidence charge by charge that they are false. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/11469070-khrushchev-lied And for DSA to fight a reactionary congressman's redbaiting by highlighting that they agree with him about the Soviet Union is disgusting. That was wimpy defense just when a good offense was called for. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
