Talk:Victor Serge

Why is this so short ?

Serge on China

The only thing I could find was the following:

""I am afraid we will soon see burst on the scene in various countries communist-totalitarian condottieri like Mao Tse-tung or Tito, cynical and convinced, who will be 'revolutionaries' or counter-revolutionaries – or both at the same time – according to the orders they receive, and capable of a complete about face from one day to the next."

Sad that his abuses at the hands of soviet authorities caused him to adopt such a two dimensional, anti-communist Cold War outlook. Mao and Tito were leaders of authentic, deep seated social revolutions in their countries of world historic importance in their own right, events that were not at all a function of them being manipulated by a foreign puppet master like Josef Stalin, with their later dramatic breaks with the USSR being clear evidence of that. Not that it matters, but that mentality rooted in defeat and demoralization was not one Trotsky subscribed to, in fact he polemicized against it during the last year of his life.

Almost entirely unsourced

This is a major article to be nearly entirely unsourced, with not even general references. Unless there is immediate interest in retroactively adding sources, it looks like it'll need WP:TNT to be rewritten from reliable sources. czar 05:47, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Serge in France

There is a new book out about Serge’s life in France during the army years of World War 2, living under the Nazi occupation. It would be good if that period of his life were to be addressed in the article 2604:2D80:ED08:A00:89F3:D900:59AF:3749 (talk) 20:23, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
