Consider not learning your ww2 history from pop culture

The USSR killed 80-ish percent of the nazi troops, and suffered 26 million casualties, mostly civilians exterminated by the nazis. They were mainly responsible for the victory and suffered the heaviest losses, including a lot of the lower level communist organization whose absence lead to the bureaucratic centralization (that Stalin opposed heavily before his death) that let corruption gradually take over the project.

Weird how the socialist command economies lead to a massive increase in literacy, life expectancy, women’s rights, access to education, doctors per person, decreased infant and maternal mortality, I could go on.

Almost like there is a difference between a capitalist command economy like the nazis did and a socialist command economy. Wonder what the difference between those three word phrases are, hmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔

Its why they defeated the nazis, who had a 50-100 year industrialization lead when the USSR started doing a command economy. The USSR also ended up liberalizing, especially in its last decade, creating the circumstances for a coup that resulted in balkanization and massively decreased living standards.

And all Eastern European countries experience explosive growth post communism?

This is counterfactual

The soviet economy was insane(ly good)!

Well sourced easily digestible video on it.

People generally need some validation but I think you’re making an inaccurate generalization

Oh, do you have private statements or writings where he was secretly supportive of it? Or are you operating entirely divorced from historical research?

Also:

Stalin often edited reports of Kremlin receptions, cutting applause and praise aimed at him and adding applause for other Soviet leaders.[33]

Ignoring this bit i see

Wikipedia has a capitalism supporting bias and says this

Like Lenin, Stalin acted modestly and unassumingly in public. John Gunther in 1940 described the politeness and good manners to visitors of “the most powerful single human being in the world”.[6] In the 1930s Stalin made several speeches that diminished the importance of individual leaders and disparaged the cult forming around him, painting such a cult as un-Bolshevik; instead, he emphasized the importance of broader social forces, such as the working class.[33][34] Stalin’s public actions seemed to support his professed disdain of the cult: Stalin often edited reports of Kremlin receptions, cutting applause and praise aimed at him and adding applause for other Soviet leaders.[33] Walter Duranty stated that Stalin edited a phrase in a draft of an interview by him of the dictator from “inheritor of the mantle of Lenin” to “faithful servant of Lenin”.[6]

A banner in 1934 was to feature Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, but Stalin had his name removed from it, yet by 1938 he was more than comfortable with the banner featuring his name.[35] Still, in 1936, Stalin banned renaming places after him.[36] In some memoirs Molotov claimed that Stalin had resisted the cult of personality, but soon came to be comfortable with it.[37]

The Finnish communist Arvo Tuominen reported a sarcastic toast proposed by Stalin himself at a New Year’s Party in 1935, in which he said: “Comrades! I want to propose a toast to our patriarch, life and sun, liberator of nations, architect of socialism [he rattled off all the appellations applied to him in those days] – Josef Vissarionovich Stalin, and I hope this is the first and last speech made to that genius this evening.”[38] In the beginning of 1938, Nikolai Yezhov proposed renaming Moscow to “Stalinodar”.[39] The question was raised at a session of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet. Stalin, however, reacted entirely negatively to this idea and, for this reason, the city retained the name Moscow.[39]

There is no such thing as unbiased

Reforming the system is a dead end, we have to replace if with socialism for the sake of our children.

Thats because it is the only solution, and the “you’re not left enough crowd” understands it is the only solution.

Maybe read Capital volumes 1-3 and then tell me you think “socialism or barbarism” isn’t an objectively(or as close to objective as one can be) correct take.

“burn it all to the ground”…which, frankly, is a shit idea, because we are all in this boat and I’d rather see us all succeed than fail.

Do you think changing economic systems is equivalent to setting it all on fire?

Capitalism has a strong state because with it is more competitive than capitalism without state intervention, and it also needs more protection from revolution than it used to.

Literally just have an understanding of history and your meme ideology will be a thing of your past that is a little embarrassing

No, accelerationism is vulgar deterministic Marxism, Revolutionary defeatism was invented by the Marxists who understood that to get socialism you need revolutionary conditions and a proletarian organization capable of taking advantage of those conditions.

Thinking that the defeat of western imperialism at the hands of Russian imperialism will improve revolutionary conditions is moronic and dangerous.

Growing multipolarity has already resulted in a lot of North Africa freeing itself from colonial domination: it has also created the conditions that allow for the economic isolation of the apartheid state of Israel.

Get off your ivory tower and actually study the present conditions.

Tell me you haven’t heard of revolutionary defeatism without telling me you haven’t heard of revolutionary defeatism

Literally everyone made agreements like that. The Soviets were the last to do it after spending years trying to form an anti-fascist pact with the liberal powers.

Theyre literally citing the new York times, I asked for credible sources regarding the SA claim.

I do when there is a risk of atrocity propaganda.

Rape happens all the time in war, but you’re claiming it is happening in a particular instance so I’m gonna need you to cite that or edit the comment.

Cite the sexual abuse stuff from a reputable source, or edit your comment.

“No homo” immediately after having sex for the first time, we have been together for 8 years now

(We are lesbians this isn’t homophobia)
