Thanks. I’ve not heard of the guy, but I do know that the old chair of my department, who was a Soviet historian, who also tore about a book about Stalin that this guy did not like as well. I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say that Stalin was and should be absolved of all crimes, and any accusations of wrong-doing on his part are lies made up by capitalists or his internal enemies. But it’s entirely unsurprising that there is a good deal of slanted work on Stalin, too, going both ways, really. I think this just shows how much of our work is driven by our own internal biases, and we have to acknowledge and account for it, rather than pretend that we don’t have them.

So apparently as a transport policy wonk I’m a “New Left Urbanist”.
I’m cool with that, although to be honest I really want a better class of acronym than “NLU”.

Oops, I have Javascript disabled on new tabs by default
Now I know “reading math” is one of the things that requires Javascript
As for why Discourse doesn’t render quoted material like
We know for every positive integer $n$ , $ \sum_{k=1}^n k^2=\dfrac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}6$ . If $p>3$ is a prime then $\dfrac{p-1}2$ is a positive integer , so $$ \sum_{k=1}^{\dfrac{p-1}2} k^2=\dfrac{\dfrac{p-1}2\bigg(\dfrac{p-1}2+1\bigg)\Bigg(2\bigg(\dfrac{p-1}2\bigg)+1\Bigg)}6=\dfrac {(p-1)(p+1)p}{24}=\dfrac {p(p^2-1)}{24}$$ ,
so $\dfrac {p(p^2-1)}{24}$ is a sum of some positive integers , and hence an integer i.e. $24$ divides $p(p^2-1)$ , but
also $24=3 ×2^3$ and since $p>3$ is a prime , so $ g.c.d (p,24)=1$ , hence $24$ divides $p^2-1$
who knows
