    Funny how these texts from Dubois are omitted from history books in USA, same as the socialist views of MLK Jr.

      Yep. WEB Dubois gets mentioned passingly in US schools, Robeson not at all, and only during black history month.

    That’s quite the hot take on a man who’s in the same league as Hitler for murdering his own citizens…

      You understand that equating Stalin to Hitler is a tactic used by neo-nazis, right? You have 10 seconds to comment “I am not a nazi, neo or otherwise, and I praise the USSR every day for hunting them down to the last one” or you’ll get banned

        Wow. Way to insult me / something I have no ability to change. I have changed my opinion on Stalin due to your thoughtful reply. /s

        du Bois was an important leader but I would like to hope he made these comments on Stalin before he knew about the millions of dead ethnic Russians killed by Stalin.
