Black people fled to USSR from US bigotry and linch mobs

[Ifor Bach]

All of those links seem to be reporting on CAPITALIST Russia.

Squib posted an excellent article on the fate of American citizens in Soviet Russia.

I am surprised that cael has not mentioned paul Robeson, Surely the most famous black person to go to the USSR. He was treated appallingly in the US not even able to enter the theaters he was headlining through the front. However it should be obvious that the US has changed, not least because of its democratic principles as well as Brave men and woman who made their stand.

I wonder how much the US has changed. There was a thread here about 50,000 people lining up for housing aid in Detroit - nearly every one of them was black. And there was only enough money for 1800 of them anyway.

Here is Paul Robeson singing the Soviet Anthem in English (he did a great version of Kevin Barry also):

[Captain Sensible]

you are an insane communist fantasist

I find that kind of remark amusing , given how 'capitalism' has to be 'propped up' right now . You can accuse communists of many things , but they are no more 'fantasists' than any liberal/capitalist.

Cael, I still don't get why you cited Time magazine in your original post. Time magazine is to capitalists what Playboy is to teenage masturbators.

and yet every thread hyou start defends the ussr...............


and yes your right postsabout the early capirtalist russia(which is doing evrything that every other early capitalist country did) are not relevant here

I defend the positives of the USSR, that the Corporatist hacks like George Lee try to deny.

[sandar]

those positives would be?

Because it appeared in Time Magazine - who else would I quote...

Didn't that old expression about Time magazine go like this: "Life is for people who don't read and Time is for people who don't think"? Don't forget that Time also had Adolph Hitler as its "Time Man Of The Year".

You see, you are trying to do it also, even though you are very well aware of the positives.
