Review of The Confession (1970) by Alex B — 22 Sep 2015
Tedious liberal bourgeois anticommunist contempt and horror for the dictatorship of the proletariat, for the working class. Tedious liberal bourgeois anticommunist torture porn. I mean, here's the (tedious, liberal, bourgeois, anticommunist) explanation it provides for the problem it formulates as why "Stalin eliminated the best, the most brilliant": Because "Stalin, who wasn't alone, was once a seminarian.
Public confession, humiliation of the sinner. Also, he was infallible." And the "false" confession of the hero, "constructed" by the party--that he's a bourgeois, selfish, careerist, cosmopolitan traitor--is evidently, objectively true.
Really, this is the story, the confession, of western leftists or fellow travelers who turn anticommunist.
