The whole use of the words "terror", "totalitarianism", "tyranny" - I call them the three Trotskyite Tees - suggests a loaded, one-sided and propagandised world-view created by years of 'Cold War' brainwashing.

Insane figures of 20 million, 60 million, 100 million and so on which have never been proven and have simply been accepted by so-called 'left wing' academics and right-wing commentators alike make any further talk redundant.

"Another View of Stalin" by Ludo Martens.

You could do well to look up O'Duffy's Blueshirt movement from Ireland who sent over several hundred men to fight for Franco.

Hi I am Head of Humanities and History at Stanley Technical School in south London. I own Learnhistory.org.uk which is a member of the ATW and the School History Forum. I am interested in making accessible online materials for less able students at KS3 and KS4.

I've been teaching for 6 years and am a bit of old-pro when it comes to school inspections, having enjoyed 4 OFSTEDS and 3 HMIs in my short career so far!
