Jump To Comment: 1 2 3They should show that one the CPI used to show. Made in the fifties the Russian film pictured a day in the life of a happy Chernobyl construction worker as he cheerily overfulfullied his norms. Then a forty watt bulb began to flicker and glow and the whole village danced round the in the sqare praising the achievements of Comrade Stalin. At that point a trotskyist wrecker caused a train crash, but he admitted his guilt and how he was in the pay of Hitler and the Mikardo. Thousands of workers and peasants then swarmed into the town hall meeting to demand exemplary punishment. The Chernobyl worker tuned his eyes to the massive portrait of Stalin and declared: "With the great helsman at our head justice will be done and power will spring from the atom. As the film ended the titles rolled over a close-up of the modern reactor. Inexplicably a spanner had been left in the concrete cladding witness to the enthusiasm of the Communist Party cadres in building socialism in one country.
good one film buff!
theres an old soviet song about trotskyist sabetours:
"I'm the man who does the dirty work for Trotsky"
anyone got the words?

perhaps why Blair touched upon that psychic current the other day. There being many who are psychically playing Suez it is a sign of his personal weakness that he did so. He is under an awful lot of stress though. Thing is with your expensive leader type, they just go and fk up everyone else when they get stressed. The Russians had a wonderful solution for that. It was called the KGB.
