    You’re making the mistake that the CIA is one homogeneous blop where everyone thinks the same. Where once something gets evaluated and approved it’s their party line. The document fits into the historical account of Stalin seamlessly. Even if it’s chatted someone heard from s friend of a friend (and I don’t think the CIA works this sloppily), it contains enough valuable information for the CIA to compile this document and to keep it.

    I used the document to highlight that even in the CIA there were people thinking Stalin is a captain of a team. I did however also point to Domenico Losurdos to underscore how its fits to existing historical accounts from a Marxist perspective

    I’d be really interested to know the backstory of the document from a historical pov.

    I agree, It’s interesting to think about how a classified top secret document like this exists that basically could’ve been written by a leftie. To have this many points synthesized it required a bunch of fieldwork to come together like this, even if unevaluated. Another interesting aspect to think about is how it relates to current dominant western narratives in regards to current geopolitical rivals
