Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

“The winds of change were never warm.”

This is the story behind the story—the Cold War’s beginning told without the sugarcoating. From Stalin’s stolen chair to Truman’s frozen silence, this isn’t your textbook history. It’s a poetic, brutal unpacking of American myth and manufactured consent.

This version is free, because truth should be.

On no, which ones aren’t working? Citing my sources and the integrity of my work is very important to me. You can find a video of it here: https://youtu.be/gSD0IfSfrW4

Footage at 16:50

Can add t=16m50s to the link to have it load on the spot:

The action looks less intense than the all-caps description indicates. Still marked this to check out later. Suggest backing up sources at archive.today, ghostarchive, and web.archive.org and providing both links so that you do not run into this issue later.

That’s super helpful—thank you! I just added the timestamp link so it goes straight to the moment. And good call on backing it up, I’ll archive the footage on web.archive and ghostarchive just in case. Appreciate you looking out for long-term integrity. This post means a lot to me.

More meant all those citation links could be archived so that link rot won’t have you having to replace dead links in the future. Don’t know that those archive youtube, but if you use a downloaded the video could be added to the regular archive.org if it’s not already there. Can also upload a copy of the e-book/PDF/whateverformats as a backup.

Thank you, I really appreciate the heads-up.

That footage could very well just be of Stalin pushing a chair out of the way for photos, or something like that, quite different from what you wrote.

I appreciate your opinion and I encourage everyone to watch and have their own perceptions!

Thank you for fixing the link you cited. I’ve seen that photo many times—it’s widely circulated. But it’s not the same as the footage. The photo doesn’t capture the actual interaction or the chair movement. That’s why I cited the video, not just a still image. It’s a different kind of evidence—and it speaks for itself.
