I apologize for making a gross omission in my comment. I meant to say that I am [not] sympathizing ….

Wouldn’t it be more appropriate if you allowed the Stalin banners and challenge them during the March? I am sympathizing with them but free distribution of ideas should be allowed even if it involves something as repulsive as Stalinism.

“It seems to me that people consider any group who oppose the US alliance as being anti imperialist and for that reason must be good.”

yes, many people do. recently i even read some sympathy of the tsarneyevs’ in their “rough treatment” because, y’know, what they did they did to americans. (not perhaps exactly pertinent here but i had to get that one out.)

Of course it’s an issue that you never ask people to lower their banners on the May Day march, that you have respect for each other, etc.

But parading around giant portraits of Stalin is deeply sick. The organisations present were in a difficult situation – but it’s a situation that DEFINITELY crosses the line and should not be tolerated. Confrontation in this case was definitely called for.

A distant facebook friend recently made a post celebrating the birthday of Joseph Stalin and had I called him on it I would’ve undoubtedly got an earful of “trendy leftie” and “Trot opportunist”.

Stalin was an utterly repulsive figure, not only him but the conservative cynical bureaucratic ruling clique he represented. They sabotaged and polluted the workers’ movement internationally, killed millions, displaced millions and wrecked the USSR.
