This won't sit well with just about anybody, the defenders of "communism" or the defenders or "capitalism." I hope I still have a Substack by the end of the day.

Going to feed the birds.

Antony C. Sutton, Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution

That volume is included in Sutton's Wall Street Trilogy. His massive

Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development demonstrates

in great detail that Stalin was utterly dependent on (mainly) US

industrial output.

(For his heresy vis-a-vis the Red Menace, Sutton was eventually

thrown out of the Hoover Institution, as this bit from Wikipedia notes:

In 1973, Sutton published a popularized, condensed version of the sections of the forthcoming third volume relevant to military technology called National Suicide: Military Aid to the Soviet Union, after which he was forced out of the Hoover Institution.[7][better source needed] His conclusion from his research on the issue was that the conflicts of the Cold War were “not fought to restrain communism” but were organised in order “to generate multibillion-dollar armaments contracts”, since the United States, through financing the Soviet Union “directly or indirectly, armed both sides in at least Korea and Vietnam.”[8][non-primary source needed]
