The Wallace/FDR Vision for the Post-War Era

Watch on YouTube: The Wallace/FDR Vision for the Post-War Era

Amidst the renewed Cold War logic of confrontation between east and west, it is easy to forget that patriotic forces with Russia, China and the USA were once united in a close bond of friendship which changed the course of history.

In this lecture delivered by Canadian Patriot Review founder Matthew Ehret during the 2nd half of a conference in Vancouver BC, the fight to shape a multi-polar world order is explored with a focus on the clash between Franklin Roosevelt vs Winston Churchill. Other anti-imperial figures either slandered or entirely written out of history such as Henry Wallace, Wendell Wilkie, Harry Hopkins, Harry Dexter White and Sumner Welles are also introduced in this story. All of these international New Dealers were united by a common vision of a post-war order defined by win-win cooperation, mutual development and sovereign nation states protecting the general welfare of their people.

About the lecturer: Matthew Ehret is the Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian Patriot Review, a BRI Expert on Tactical talk, and has authored 3 volumes of ‘Untold History of Canada’ book series. In 2019 he co-founded the Montreal-based Rising Tide Foundation and can be reached at matt.ehret@tutamail.com

Exaggerations against Stalin

Exaggerations against Stalin

So who is this responsible for this blatantly impossible assertion about Stalin? It was the son of a Trotskyist. Antonov-Ovseyenko was a Trotskyist who tried to use his military position to aid Trotsky take over the party in the USSR.

The bourgeois scholars in the West all clamored to support Anton Antonov-Ovseyenko’s book. The endorsements on his book jacket read like a who’s who of anti-Soviet propaganda. The book received an introduction and praise by Stephen F. Cohen, Princeton professor and darling of the social-democrats and revisionists for his sympathetic biography of N. Bukharin and political opposition to the Cold War. The other endorsers include democratic socialist Irving Howe, cold warrior and bourgeois scholar Robert Conquest, Robert G. Kaiser, Leonard Schapiro, Harrison Salisbury and of course the New Republic, which called it “the most important book to have come out of the Soviet experience since Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago.” From this we can see how much credibility the mainstream discussion of Stalin deserves–none.

Liberating Thought, Part 3: Seeking Truth From Facts

The real problem, then, is to be locked into old ways, old dogmatisms developed under different circumstances. One might study carefully – always a useful undertaking – the texts of Marx and Engels, or indeed Lenin, Stalin and Mao, but the risk is that one takes them as iron-clad prescriptions for all situations. Deng’s point here is that such an approach is actually a betrayal of Marxism, for the key is the method itself rather than the specific results arising from the method in specific situations.
