NOTES for my Definitive review of *Hayek: A Life*
Caldwell and Klausinger bizarrely and falsely belittle and smear Russia immigrant Boris Brasol's book *Socialism vs. Civilization*, a book published at a time when Lenin was purposely and aggressively murdering millions. 1/n
Caldwell and Klausinger bizarrely and falsely belittle and smear Russia immigrant Boris Brasol's book *Socialism vs. Civilization*, a book published at a time when Lenin was purposely and aggressively murdering millions. 1/n
The book has an introduction by respected mainstream economist T. N. Carver and it is a serious and academic look as socialist ideas and socialism in Europe and Russia: babel.hathitrust.org
For generations professors and journalists been fabricating and spreading mythologies about the systematic anarchist campaign of mass murder taking place in America in the late 1910s and early 1920s 3/n en.m.wikipedia.org
In 1920 dozens were murdered and hundreds were injures in an attack on Wall Street 5/n en.m.wikipedia.org
Professors have deliberately and falsely characterized a "Black Scare" as a "Red Scare" -- "black" anarchist were attempting to eliminate via murder the most important judges, public officials, and business leaders across the country, but mythologies and fraud serve purposes. 4/n
The narrative is fabricated to diminish & memory-hole the factual reality, to pretend that people were irrationally "frightened" of a ghost, of nothing real, while Black anarchist where attempting a systematic campaign of mass murder & Lenin was killing people by the millions 5/n
It shows a lack of understanding of the history and literature cited for Caldwell and Klausinger to get sucked into terribly dated & fraudulent but once politically fashionable narrative, and to falsely smear a work from 1920 with that bogus and cartoon narrative. 6/n
There was never really any excuse for those pretending that no horrors were taking place under Lenin even when for political purposes academics were belittling "the Red Scare", but know we have the data & fully developed histories of Lenin's purposeful regime of mass murder. 7/n
Evidently this history is a closed book to Caldwell and Kausinger, some books I might recommend they consult: *Lenin: The Man, the Dictator, and the Master of Terror* 8/n amazon.com
*The Russian Revolution: A New History* #productDescription_secondary_view_div_1675025324516" target="_blank" rel="noopener" onclick="event.stopPropagation()">amazon.com
