Has the Marxist internet archive been taken over by the SWP or some similar Trotskyist sect? The content of the archive seems to have changed significantly recently. There are now a large number of relatively minor American and British Trotkyists included, which is probably fair enough, but what is more insidious is that orthodox communist writers are being systematically dropped from the index. Mao, Chou-en-lai, Stalin, Castro have all be edited out of the main web site index. Geuvara is the only orthodox communist or Stalinist still retained in the index - presumably because his romantic appeal is taken to redeem his Stalinism. Whoever is running the archive now is airbrushing out politically unacceptable marxists just as was done in the USSR, all that has changed is the particuluar set of marxists who are deemed unacceptable.
