| | | | | Stalinist: Encyclopedia II - Louis Althusser - Thought Althusser's earlier works include the influential volume Reading Capital, which collects the work of Althusser and his students on an intensive philosophical re-reading of Marx's Capital. The book reflects on the philosophical status of Marxist theory as "critique of political economy," and on its object. The current English edition of this work includes only the essays of Althusser and Étienne Balibar, while the original French edition contains additional contributions from Jacques Ranciere and Pierre Macherey, among others. ...

| | | | | Stalinist: Encyclopedia II - Animal Farm - Plot When the farm's prize-winning pig, Old Major, calls a meeting of all the animals of Manor Farm, he tells them that he has had a dream where mankind is gone, and animals are free to live in peace and harmony. He compares the humans to parasites, and then proceeds to teach them a revolutionary song, "Beasts of England". The other animals begin to hope and dream for the revolution of such a day. When Old Major dies a mere three days later, three pigs, Snowball (who teaches the animals to read), Napoleon, and Squealer assume command, and turn hi ...

| | | | | | | | Stalinist: Encyclopedia II - Front organization - Corporate front groups Corporations from a wide variety of different industries have been known to set up front groups.
For example, some pharmaceutical companies set up tame "patients' groups" as front organizations. These groups put pressure on healthcare providers and legislators to adopt their products. For example, Schering Healthcare and Biogen Ltd. tried to put pressure on the UK National Health Service (NHS) to adopt its drug Beta Interferon to treat Multiple Sclerosis (MS) sufferers. Schering set up and funded a group called MS Voice, with its own ...

| | | | | | Stalinist: Encyclopedia II - Bertolt Brecht - Life and career Born in Augsburg, Bavaria, Brecht studied medicine and worked briefly as an orderly in a hospital in Munich during World War I. After the war he moved to Berlin where an influential critic, Herbert Ihering, brought him to the attention of a public longing for modern theater. Brecht's first two plays, Baal and Drums in the Night, had already had performances in Munich, and he got to know Erich Engel, a director who worked with him off and on for the rest of his life. In Berlin, In the Jungle of the Cities, starring Fritz ...

| | | | | | Stalinist: Encyclopedia II - Socialism - A state that exists, or has existed, or may exist Main articles: Communist state, Social democracy
Most past and present states led by parties of Communist orientation called (or call) themselves "socialist." However, they were usually referred to as "Communist states" by anti-communists in the western world. Once again, whether these states were socialist or not was (and is) disputed, with the large majority of today's socialists (including many, perhaps most, communists) contending that they were not socialist, for reasons directly analogous to ...

| | | | | Stalinist: Encyclopedia II - Communism - Cold War years As the Soviet Union won important allies by victory in the Second World War in Eastern Europe, communism as a movement spread to a number of new countries, and gave rise to a few different branches of its own, such as Maoism.
Communism had been vastly strengthened by the winning of many new nations into the sphere of Soviet influence and strength in Eastern Europe. Governments modeled on Soviet Communism took power with Soviet assistance in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Poland, Hungary and Romania. A Communist government was ...

| | | | | Stalinist: Encyclopedia II - Communist Romania - The Gheorghiu-Dej era Gheorghiu-Dej, a firm Stalinist, was not pleased with the reforms in Nikita Khrushchev's Soviet Union after Stalin's death in 1953. He also blanched at Comecon's goal of turning Romania into the "breadbasket" of the East Bloc, pursuing a program of the development of heavy industry. He also closed Romania's largest labor camps, abandoned the Danube–Black Sea Canal project, halted rationing, and hiked workers' wages.
This, combined with continuing resentment that historically Romanian lands remained part of the Soviet Union, in the form of the Moldavian SSR, inevitably led Romania under Gheor ...

| | | | | Stalinist: Encyclopedia II - Croatia in the second Yugoslavia - Imperialist policy The charge that imperialism encouraged secession in order to break up "socialist" Yugoslavia, even if true, would not alter the right to self-determination. If imperialism wanted to encourage secession, it would find much more fertile ground if the nation was oppressed.
But in any case, this view of imperialism is a complete fantasy. The IMF and World Bank strongly pushed Yugoslav re-centralization. In particular, the US, the EC, Britain and France insisted throughout 1990 and 1991 that Yugoslavia remain united. Even proposals for a l ...

| | | | | | | | Stalinist: Encyclopedia II - Communist Romania - Rise of the Communists When King Michael (Mihai) overthrew Ion Antonescu in August 1944, breaking Romania away from the Axis and bringing it over to the Allied side, Michael could do nothing to erase the memory of his country's recent active participation in the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Although Romanian forces fought heroically under Soviet command, driving through Northern Transylvania into Hungary proper, and on into Czechoslovakia and Germany, the Soviets still treated Romania as conquered territory, because Romanian authorities were unable to ensure order on the newly-liberated territories and ...

| | | | | Stalinist: Encyclopedia II - János Kádár - Early Life Born in Fiume, in what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Kádár joined the illegal Hungarian Communist Party in 1931, and was subsequently arrested several times for unlawful political activities.
During the Second World War, Kádár fought with the Czechoslovakian resistance.
In 1946 he was elected deputy secretary-general of the Hungarian Communist Party, and then in 1949 became minister of the interior and head of the Budapest secret police. Kádár became known as a fanatical supporter of the government and of Josef Stalin, arresting László Rajk, who had criticised the Soviet Union's attempts to im ...

| | | | | Stalinist: Encyclopedia II - Croatia in the second Yugoslavia - The Croatian and Slovenian response Far from rushing headlong into independence declarations, the first reaction of the other republics was to appease Milosevic. Thus in October 1988, the federal presidency, with the votes of all the republics, accepted constitutional amendments reducing the provinces' autonomy. However, when Milosevic then pushed this through violently against the will of the Kosovo assembly in 1989, thus violating the constitution, other republics began to worry that they might be the next victim.
As Milosevic and the federal Markovic government tried ...

| | | | | Stalinist: Encyclopedia II - János Kádár - The Kádár era Though a virtual puppet of the Soviet Union, Kádár often enacted policy contrary to that of the Soviet Union, for example, allowing considerably large private plots for farmers of collective farms. Yet, Hungary was unable to back out of self-damaging events like the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia or the 1973 economic reversal which aligned Hungary with Leonid Brezhnev's stagnating USSR.
As a result of the relatively high standard of living, and more relaxed travel restrictions than that of other Eastern Block countries, ...

| | | | | Stalinist: Encyclopedia II - Communist Romania - Internecine struggle The early years of Communist rule in Romania were marked by repeated changes of course and by mass arrests and imprisonments, as factions contended for dominance. The country's resources were also drained by the Soviet's SovRom agreements. In 1948 the earlier agrarian reform was reversed, replaced by a move toward collective farms. This led to tens of thousands of arrests, as did the effort to liquidate the Uniate Church. On June 11, 1948, all banks and large businesses were nationalized. Romania developed a system of forced labor and politi ...
