A different kind of video from usual, but I came upon an interesting clip from an old interview with British communist and popular folk singer, Ewan MacColl, well-known as the writer of the famous Ballad of Ho Chi Minh, where he talks about a song he wrote for the birthday of Stalin for the Communist Party and expresses his own thoughts on Stalin.
A lot of people seem to forget MacColl was an outspoken communist in his day and a supporter of Stalin. In fact, MacColl resigned from the CPGB in protest of de-Stalinisation, later associating with one of the first anti-revisionist magazines in Britain, and in his final years criticising Soviet and Khrushehv-inspired revisionism.
