Everyday Stalinism: Ordinary Life in Extraordinary Times: Soviet Russia in the 1930s. As the name implies, it's an account of everyday life under Stalin, written both at the height of the openness of former Soviet archives in Russia and at the height of interest in “Alltagsgeschichte” or the History of Everyday Life.

He asked for unbiased books, not propaganda from a dumbfuck yearning for a tsarist Russia.

I agree with you that a long term plan is always good, and short sighted idiots think socialism happens overnight, when it's very well obvious communism is a plan for hundreds of years down the line.

Marxism is strategic, while anarchists are tactical. But this very much has to do with the difference in thinking process between the revolutionary and the intellectual, theory and practice. Their minds work differently and obviously they will use different means to achieve the same conclusion. I admire Deng Xiaoping greatly, to me China is in the correct direction even though left-coms will repudiate it for being state-capitalist while not understanding the necessity of capitalism in the historical process.

However, I will remind you that china today practices a corporatist model just like fascism in the way they organize society by sectors as opposed to marx's class. I'm going to give Gregor's book "A Place in the Sun: Marxism and Fascism in China's Long Revolution" a read to try to peace together the whole situation in china. there's a lot on my reading list as it is.

>and fascism is DIRECTLY formed from socialist thought and Hitlers policy reflects that,
nononono. hitler's policy was not socialist it was prussian socialist larp, aka liberalism.

i don't agree with this. he saw early on where the ussr was headed, many fascists did. a hereditary bureaucracy just isn't marxism, and life under stalin from what I imagine was quite horrible. I am still not discounting his achievements.

>i've read the manifesto, thanks. nowhere is there any fascist politics. Democratic Socialist, perhaps, but certainly not fascist (unless you're a braindead stalinist, in which case opinion discarded).
i did not call any one of them fascists, I said kropotkin supported the entente and you asked for a source. i am not a stalinist, I am an orthodox "sansepolcrismo" fascist. to put this into perspective I score on the lib-left on a political compass test.
>that's fair, but futurism in italy was fascist, and very different from rusisan futurism (but still at odds with the working class).
i just told you there was was a split in the italian futurist movement between those who supported mussolini and those who did not. even Marinetti left the fascist party after Mussolini decided to pursue a less revolutionary route.
