	Stalinist parties in India pledge to support Congress power bid
		The Stalinists' erstwhile allies were denounced for having foisted a right-wing agenda on the UF government, then "betraying" secularism--as if anything else could be expected from these right-wing, caste-based parties of the regional bourgeoisie.
		The truth is that it is the Stalinist parties that have fed the rise of the communal right by subordinating the working class for decades to the bourgeois Congress and later to various other regional bourgeois parties.
		The Stalinists have themselves been complicit in the implementation of India's "new economic policy", not only through their participation in the UF but by actively courting international capital in their guise as state ministers in West Bengal, Kerala and Tripura.

	Czechoslovakia Economic History Stalinist Model
		Stalinist Model emphasized the goals of further industrialization and expansion of socialist ideals i.e., Marx's idea of social equality.
		The Stalinist Model called for completion of targets as priority; thus there were incentives to meet the targets rather than to improve the quality of production.
		The Stalinist model's goal of rapid industrialization and social equality were achieved, but the industrialization drive was unnecessary.

	A defense of Stalinist art policy
		Critics of Stalinist policy towards the arts have difficulty admitting what is actually obvious: that despite the supposed philistinism, bloodthirstiness, stupidity, evil-mindedness and malice of Stalin and his 'henchmen', the Soviet Thirties saw the greatest outpouring of works of art, theatre, literature, film, music, sculpture and architecture in Russian history.
		Stalinist repression and policing of the arts is 'barbaric' and 'unconscionable' [but one justification for Stalin's policy towards Russian artists might lie in comparing it with Hitler's and then trying to judge whether Stalin's policy helped or hindered the Soviet state in its attempt to prevent Hitler carrying _his_ policy out].
		Not for nothing was the Stalinist 1930s characterised BOTH by the fierce and relentless struggle against formalism in music, literature and the arts that ended careers and even lives, AND by a torrential outpouring of new work.

	New York Architecture Images- Stalinist Architecture
		'Stalinist Architecture' is the term typically applied to the years between 1933 (the date of the final competition to design the Palace of the Soviets) and 1955 (The Academy of Architecture was abolished).
		It follows the Stalinist gigantism style and is prominent in the city's skyline.
		In terms of Moscow addresses, the seven Stalinist skyscrapers were considered the height of unattainable luxury, with solid construction, relatively luxurious materials, high ceilings, classical details and prime locations.

	Stalinist trade unions face collapse
		The Stalinist bureaucracy had created and maintained a network of shops, resorts, apartment houses, hotels, restaurants, theatres, hospitals, foreign travel, which catered exclusively to the members of the Nomenklatura, to the bureacrats, in proportion to their rank in the hierarchy.
		Seventhly, the Stalinist leadership in the unions had last year attempted to channel the anger of the workers into the formation of the United Front of Toilers as a political pressure group (this attempt has since backfired and the UFT has gotten out of control of the traditional bureaucrats in many areas of the country).
		When reality does intrude and these Stalinist hacks are forced to report on a murdered striker, the homeless or the poverty seen in the cities, this is treated as an aberration, blamed on race or mental handicaps of the sufferers.

		We would also point the comrade towards the decision on 29 October of this year by the Beijing-backed provisional legislature in Hong Kong to overturn a set of labour laws passed by the former chamber at the end of June.
		Comrade Hoskins’ position represents a minority of the SLP membership and reflects Stalinist politics that are fundamentally alien to socialism and need to be politically crushed if the SLP is to become a vehicle for socialist revolution.
		By all means let Stalinists in the party bring their anti-working class politics into the open, but this must be within a framework which allows for the refuting of their ideas, rather than risking the misunderstanding that they represent the majority of party members.

	Bolshoi Vladivostok: Architecture and Urban Planning in the Stalinist Era (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The military, bureaucratic, and capitalist city of the early years of this century was changed only superficially by the Bolshevik Revolution, but with the advent of the Five Year Plans, and the consolidation of power into the hands of Joseph Stalin, the city began preparing to transform itself into a model Soviet urban center.
		The Stalinist era was a time of profound change for the peoples of the Soviet Union.
		Vladivostok changed substantially during the Stalinist era, though it did not experience the wholesale transformation called for in the centrally-approved master plans of the 1930s until the post-war, indeed post-Stalin era.

		This chronological breadth is complemented by a detailed and thorough account of each period that examines Party and government debates about history, the dissemination of historical ideas by educational institutions and through mass culture, and finally the population's reception of these ideas.
		Brandenberger's main argument is that Stalinist ideologues "did not aim to promote Russian ethnic interests during these years so much as they attempted to foster a maximally accessible, populist sense of Soviet social identity through the instrumental use of russo-centric appeals" (p.
		Because Brandenberger is trying to argue that Stalinist etatist rhetoric created modern Russian national identity, he also systematically underestimates the role of pre-revolutionary and early Soviet Russian national identity in shaping the later development of russo-centrism and Russian chauvinism.

	LRP Statement on the Call for an International Debate Conference
		We agree that the USSR in the 1930's was a degenerated workers' state, but we believe that the Stalinist counterrevolution went further than Trotsky understood and destroyed the workers' state by the end of that decade.
		We distinguish between the defense of the remaining gains held by the workers of the Stalinist and ex-Stalinist states, on the one hand, and the defense of the Stalinist state apparatus (army, police, bureaucracy, etc.), on the other.
		For many years, we have maintained that the debates over the nature of the Stalinist states were not about theoretical abstractions but were at root about the revolutionary nature of the proletariat and the struggle to advance revolutionary class consciousness.

		Given that we are well past the end date of the stalinist forms of communism - do we really need such hysterical and unhistorical posturing when a calmer understanding of Bataille and the others mentioned in the article/review might have been more useful.
		Though there are no longer any Stalinist states, Stalinism as such is also a kind of conception of post-capitalism, with all kinds of implicit ideas about social struggle.
		Of course Bataille is a very excentric writer, and most of his stuff is certainly not Stalinist in the sense of control-obsessed and miserable.

	Journal of Social History: National Bolshevism: Stalinist Mass Culture and the Formation of Modern Russian National ...
		The Stalinist leadership rehabilitated prerevolutionary military and cultural figures, while championing the Soviet state as the natural heir of the tsarist empire.
		The Russian masses, meanwhile, overlooked the nuances of Stalinist ideology and welcomed the new rhetoric as the outright promotion of Russian nationalism; for some, the shift even became a license to express chauvinist, xenophobic, and anti-Semitic views.
		Although Brandenberger's argument about the Stalinist roots of modern Russian nationalism is compelling on many levels, some readers may be left wondering why, if there was virtually no popular Russian nationalism before 1917, ordinary Russians so enthusiastically adopted the russocentric rhetoric of the Stalinist regime.

	Max Shachtman: Nature of the Stalinist Parties (1947) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Stalinist parties are everywhere based upon the power of the Russian bureaucracy, they serve this power, they are dependent upon it, and they cannot live without it.
		But by the same token, the Stalinist parties in the capitalist countries, because they arc agents of the Kremlin oligarchy, are likewise in fundamental opposition to capitalism and the capitalist state.
		But unlike the Social-Democrats, the Stalinists have practically destroyed all of the economic and political power of the bourgeoisie, destroyed also bourgeois democracy in any form, and have established what even a man with one eye in his head can recognize as a totalitarian regime.

		Based on previously unknown documents from the archives of state and Communist Party agencies and of numerous scientific institutions, Stalinist Science shows that this picture is oversimplified.

		Science, as a tool for winning the war and as a diplomatic and propaganda instrument, began to enjoy higher status, better funding, and relative autonomy.

		Andre Breton and most of the others had distanced themselves from or openly denounced Stalinism (if not the Communist Party, as well) because of the Soviet Union's murderous campaign to "collectivize" the kulaks in 1937 (an infamous example of what Karl Marx called primitive accumulation) and because of the Hitler-Stalin Pact of 1939.
		Even though this Stalinist's analyses of eroticism and sovereignty are no doubt fascinating, we will nevertheless refrain from reading Volumes II and III of his trilogy.

	Anti-Stalinist Slate Introduction
		Due to the ongoing abuse of the democratic process at KPFT/90.1 FM radio by a handful of vicious thugs, hatemongers, exclusionists and assorted cads, concerned members of the community have coalesced to create a slate of candidates to run in the first-ever upcoming elections for the KPFT Local Advisory Board (LAB).
		Our platform is a simple one: We openly oppose the candidacies of those who choose to run under the Stalinist Slate (aka: peepee radio) that was created by KPFT's censured LAB member, Ayatollah Hep Ingham.
		The above listed people (all of them white middle-aged males, save one token), who are clearly aligned with Ayatollah Hep Ingham, must be prevented from aquiring seats on the KPFT LAB and must be exposed for the anti-democratic nature of their activities during the upcoming LAB election campaign.
