I believe that he was with some Hoxhaists in their own political party back in the day.
Honestly I don't get his fixation with defending Stalin specifically. Stalin wasn't the entirety of the USSR, just it's leader at a pivotal moment, and like most leaders he had flaws. If anything defending this one specific person in a leadership role of the USSR is a detriment to the reputation of the institution as a hole, the achievements of the Soviet Union weren't Stalin's alone. It really screams "I just worship a cult of personality" instead of "I'm trying to do an honest defense of a socialist project that has been smeared by most."
Is the difference between furr and Losurdo that the latter is an actual historian? Haven’t read furr
Basically. There's no need for Furr, who is in fact a crank, when Losurdo exists.
