I enjoyed this little vignette of visiting a minor Soviet court, where Hooper is fascinated by the informality and how the judge is elected by the workers and can be recalled at any time if they want it

The pamphlet ends with a succession of 'final thoughts' from different editions. I think this is a really interesting look at (a section of) public opinion in Britain at the time - that the Soviet offer of alliance against Hitler was known, and at least some people disdained the government's refusal

It's a fascinating bit of writing - as far as I know Hooper was no communist but it's hard to find any information about him online, besides this in Hansard which states he had some 'public allegations' about him in 1943 hansard.parliament.uk/%E2%80%8CCom...

Nearly ten years ago now on a visit to London I picked up a pamphlet in a radical bookshop called Through Soviet Russia, by Major AS Hooper, published in 1941 (though the original edition had been published in 1937). It's a travelogue by a British army officer who visited the USSR in 1936

one last thing since criticism is being met with shutting down: of all the things about protestantism to attack, the 'democratisation of religion' aspect (such as it was) is surely not it. "I would side with the counter-reformation. I'm a progressive. Yes, we exist"

my partner just said "Push into potatoe" out of the blue and it made us spend about ten minutes half-paralysed with laughter after looking up the original tweet again. I had completely forgotten "Bite a large whole thro it"

I enjoy reddit because it exposes you to people who just don't understand how fiction works or how to parse any information given at all. the opening explicitly says it's a dream sequence! this person says in replies they thought it was just taking "historical liberties". no you didn't. don't lie
