        “A Socialist Defector” (Grossman reviewed in Socialism and Democracy)

        “A Socialist Defector” (Grossman reviewed in Socialism and Democracy)

        February 20, 2024

        While deploring “shameful” aspects of Stalin’s rule and its “heavy hand” that limited economic experimentation, Grossman finds the Soviet presence to have been crucial in erasing fascism from public life, “breaking the chokehold of cartels, banks, chauvinist press lords and arrogant Junkers.”
