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.

At the next meeting, Stalin entered the room, looked at Attlee’s seat—and PHYSICALLY PICKED UP THE CHAIR AND REMOVED IT

No source. The sources at the bottom (well, those that work) don't include the word "chair" anywhere.

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

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.
