  • It would be pretty cool if Mr. Service could finish a sentence without being interrupted.

  • Mr. Severice needs to check his facts; Stalin was aginst the German and spanish revolution. If not in vocally, then most definately his actions, his deformed "united front" called for communists to side with the Nazi's in order to "fight capitalism." as a result most did and were subsaquently arested after the faschists took power. Secondly he sold arms to the Capitalist spanish rebulic, and told the socialists to fight the anarcho-sindicalists rather than the faschists.

  • It would have been better if they'd have got a proper Trotskyist rather than an ex Trotskyist to defend Trotsky against service. Hitchens only does a half hearted job.

  • Bravo Prof. Service! Do not allow Hitchens to rehabilitate the troll with his BS!

  • Robert Service and other leading British academics have launched a campaign of historical falsification, slandering Trotsky, and denying his historical significance. The purpose of the campaign is to prevent young people coming into political struggle from learning about Trotsky's political legacy. David North of the World Socialist Website has written a number of essays in defence of Trotsky - see "Political biography and the historical lie: An examination of Robert Service’s Trotsky" on wsws

  • @brickman73 ooo nice comeback selfish fuck.

  • @brickman73 You don't understand that humans need all these things BECAUSE of capitalist oppression..human nature is NOT independent of our economic system.

  • communism is a fools idea...cannot work in the real world..you eliminate desire, and human nature...its a system for a machine...humans need motivation...need hope...need ambition...communism eliminates this
