David North begins US speaking tour in Michigan to mark 80 years of the Fourth International

 

At age 71 I have been around a while . A lifelong socialist ( generic, I guess ) I wonder if David North is on a very short list of writers who write honestly ( whatever their partisan positions ) about the Russian Revolution, the Bolshevik leaders, the Stalinist corruption culminating in the collapse of the Soviet Union a generation ago . Name a few not too obscure others ?

       Was not Trotsky right about " truth an orphan " in this world ?

         The famous psychiatrist Sigmund Freud said that voice of reason is weak but does not rest until it gains a hearing .
