It is important to learn the lessons of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Harpal Brar, Chairman of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist), in this series of 11 videos, gives a talk on the destructive role of Khrushchevite Revisionism at a party Study School held in Leeds. These videos are an excellent contribution to the summation of these experiences. Basically an outline and overview of the Polemic on the General Line of the International Communist Movement, but with the view from today, these videos serve well the purpose helping to popularize that seminal work of the anti-revisionist movement. The CPGB-ML has also released these videos on China.

For more on all of this, I would also suggest that my readers look to the Communist Party of China’s very important article from the Polemic on the General Line, On Khrushchev’s Phoney Communism and Its Historical Lessons for the World as well as to my recent article, Some Points on Stalin (and Mao). In my opinion, the most concise summation is the 1999 Declaration of the International Communist Movement.
