Comrade Henry
Via RT: The Communist Party is getting new leadership. Zyuganov, who has been the leader and candidate since the Switchover, finally decided to retire. The new leader is Grudinin, who took over a failing collective farm and turned it into a proper company town:
One of Moscow regions biggest producers of fruit and vegetables, as well as being Russia’s biggest strawberry farm, the Lenin Sovkhoz also takes pride in being a model enterprise with almost communist internal rules. Grudinin’s enterprise provides its workers with free housing, healthcare and school dinners, as well as subsidising many regular payments, such as communal fees. It also actively invests in local infrastructure. Sovkhoz funded the construction of a school building and the renovation of a local clinic.Sounds a lot like the Social Economy types in America from 1880 to 1920. NCR, Conoco, Weston Instruments, Ford, many others. The witch hunters and insinuators of Wall Street destroyed the Social Economy movement by associating Ford with Fascism at a time when Germany was the main aggressor in the world. Admittedly Henry made their work easier, but most industrialists at that time were eagerly trading and cooperating with Germany. Henry was NOT unusual in that department. He WAS unusual in his respect for poor people as customers and as workers, and in his refusal to participate in Wall Street. Those were his sins. Those were the reasons why he had to be discredited.
