Hello everynyan, we're reading This Soviet World.

Week 5 we are reading Chapter 5: "The Union of Nations."

EPUB, a link to a PDF, and online reading options, can be found on Comrade's Library. If you find problems with the EPUB tell me and I will fix it. Dessalines has made an audio book.

The whiplash for me reading is just how timeless her analysis of capitalist societies are. My takeaway from this chapter was that this history was so successfully wiped from western/neoliberal education that capitalist nations can actually claim that the USSR was actually oppressing these nations rather than emancipating them.
