Soviet Logic

Dialectical Materialism offered a unified system of thought in which all parts were logically linked, all areas of knowledge were covered, all oppositions were integrated, and clear answers were given to the question of the origin and goal of history and the position of man in it.
This video attempts to give a small insight into the practices of totality in the Soviet One-Party-State.

Groys, Boris; "The Communist Postscript"; 2005
(However this video is not a complete summary of the book. I think that the main topic of Groys essay is Stalin's philosophy of language which is not discussed  in the video)
