Longer

The article in the Russian Wikipedia is much longer and could be used here.

As it is, the English article is not very grammatical. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.109.117 (talk) 08:13, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A few thoughts about systemic liberalism in Wikipedia.

The "discussion" in the paper lingered a little while longer but didn't bring much new, due to the impossibility of arguing with Stalin.

At the time I write this, this was extracted from the article as it is currently. Let me first introduce you two quotes from two different books, that you can find... somewhere... on the internet. You can also buy physical copies, too.

“Of course, criticism had been strongly encouraged during the purges, and local records contain plenty of it. The press strongly endorsed criticism from below at the end of 1938.” ^{[fforte 1]}

“... free criticism, however hostile it may be, is permitted, even encouraged, in the USSR, of the directors, of all forms of enterprise, by the workers employed, or by the consumers of the commodities or services concerned.” ^{[fforte 2]}

These two quotes, about the same subject, that is the freedom of criticism ^{[fforte 3]}, which is a recurrent Marxist practice, is in absolute contradiction with the source-less information presented. As it is, the article, in 2020, still promotes 20th century cold war propaganda on Stalin.

As a History teacher, we study the History of the people, and historians have already denied the allegations promoted by Cold War propaganda since the opening of the Soviet Archives, which has shown that Stalin was not a monolith who imposed his will against the people, and instead, did lose many political disputes inside his own Party. Let us not promote this McCarthyism inside Wikipedia, as this is not the place for ideological propaganda, and instead should be the place for the scientifically established truth.

Wikipedia suffers from systemic liberalism in its political articles. Liberal point of view is not a neutral point of view.
