Just came across this absolute trashfire of a book by an American prof. I know these revisionist takes about WWII are a dime a dozen… but this one seems particularly egregious in its claims that Stalin masterminded World War II and that the only reason for the USSR’s success was that the stupefied Allies fell for his dastardly plan.
This level of brazen stupidity and/or disingenuousness borders on incomprehensible.
Yet another case of the US being masters of projection
And amazingly bad at describing their class enemies in ways that actually discredit them.
If you ever read the book, and get past the dipshittery fluff in the first two-thirds of his ass book to his descriptions of american communists and why he considers them a threat,
Also labor unions. And charity. And journalism. And transit/infrastructure. Etc.
Ultimately, Hoover and our other class enemies are fundamentally opposed to peace, civil rights, constitutional rights, labor/consumer protection, charity, and anything that centers humanity over profits
Anti-communists are, simply, in contempt of all things considered good and decent by the average person.
