Socialist Progressives

Interesting presentation. Great archival footage that you don't see much of anymore. And good insights into the problems faced by the USSR in trying to construct a socialist society. The Soviet model had many, many flaws -- and, I would say that the whole experiment went horribly awry when Lenin died, and Stalin forced Trotsky into exile. I've read several books on and by Lenin, and while I don't agree with the Soviet model, I do believe that had Lenin remained healthy and lived on into the 1930s and 1940s, the Soviet Union might have developed in a far better way.
