What Is Stalinism? | Revolution Festival '23

The events of the Russian revolution were the greatest in all human history. For the first time, the exploited masses fought back and won. The revolution birthed the most progressive state the world had ever seen, with the Communist International — led by Lenin and Trotsky — becoming a beacon of internationalism, inspiring workers and poor everywhere.And yet, within 10 years, the Soviet Union had degenerated into a bureaucratic and totalitarian regime. The Communist International went from a harbinger of world revolution to a tool for the narrow, national interests of the Soviet bureaucracy, with Stalin at its head.In this session, Rob Sewell will discuss the main processes that led to the degeneration of the Russian revolution, answering the question: What is Stalinism?📚 Get a copy of In Defence of Lenin: https://wellredbooks.co.uk/product/in-defence-of-lenin/🌍 Sign up to attend the founding conference of the Revolutionary Communist International: schoolofcommunism.com✊ Help us overthrow the warmongers in Westminster!
