I want to draw the attention of LRC readers to focus intently on the exemplary scholarly work of Antony C. Sutton. His outstanding body of research has fascinated and intrigued me since first discovering it in 1972.
Sutton was one of the 20th Century’s most prodigious and incisive scholars of how the United States and its Western European allies built the Soviet Union’s military industrial complex. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was a murderous parasitic regime responsible for the deaths of over sixty million of its own subjects by its state security forces, and over twenty seven million persons killed during the Second World War.
This later devastating conflict was enabled by the duplicitous actions of Germany’s National Socialist Fuehrer Adolf Hitler and Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin and his Politburo of killers as described in Victor Suvorov’s The Chief Culprit: Stalin’s Grand Design to Start World War II.
In 1920, Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises demonstrated in his path-braking article, “Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth,” that all attempts to establish socialism would not work, for reasons of informational efficiency. Because of the absence of a market-based pricing system of profit and loss, socialism could not perform the necessary economic calculation to survive.
The Soviets turned to economic parasitism through exclusive monopolistic trade deals with western corporations, espionage, theft, and expropriation of technology from the West. It was Soviet parasitism and the sale, transfer and theft of technology from the West which built the Soviet military-industrial complex.
Virtually the same complicit and compliant corporate and financial interests who enabled Nazi Germany’s warfare state, were responsible for creating this regime of terror. This treasonous activity continues today. The authoritative volumes by Antony C. Sutton below definitively document these activities essential to understanding the Cold War struggle between East and West.
