Thank you for everything, Joseph <3
I have seen many interesting input from various anons on Stalin here, whether in the form of opinions, books, documentaries etc. They happen sporadically, scattered on different threads which rarely have anything to do with Stalin, ML or USSR. I figured a Stalin General Thread would be useful. A place where to share all things Stalin and discuss all things Stalin.
Though I am pro-Stalin, this is not a strictly Stalin-worship thread. Posts critical of Stalin too are welcome. I simply request that they are in good faith, and not just 'muh ML' trolls.

Only real ogs know about soviet-empire.com Basically this site is what helped my initial strong initial suspicion about the trot/animal farm style narratives accelerate into total rejection extremely quickly, way back in 2006.
And the article is by soviet78 himself, one of the most based posters on the site. I wonder what he is up to these days…
>>2358779>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khrushchev_thawNot that anon but this is cultural policy, not political economy. Censorship was also more relaxed during Lenin compared to the Stalin era.
Similar thing for peaceful coexistence, you can see that as a degeneration in revolutionary spirit or whatever and you'd probably be right but it doesn't represent any shift away from how the Soviet economy worked under Stalin. And it's obviously hypocritical for nu MLs (Deng glazers) and traditional MLMs (Mao glazers).
>>2379703being a proletarian has nothing to do with having a correct critique of capitalism
case in point: most proletarians today absolutely love capitalism and feel a very strong sense of attachment for a system which obviously does nothing but create poverty and misery for them daily
now, maybe you might mean that the party didn't have a correct line but that's different from it just being, or not, "proletarian" because the latter terminology is just ML Ideological slop which is always just used as a way to justify whatever the fuck they want, it doesn't mean anything

>>2351285For being on the right opposition AND on the ultra-left opposition at the same fucking time!
He was a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian. You know, THOSE guys.
>>2354309As far as reactionary fiction writers go, I prefer Tolkien over Solzhenitsyn.
>>2354629The full title of his book is "The Gulag Archipelago: An Experiment in Literary Investigation"
Ever wonder why they leave out the second part? The one that unambiguously marks it as a work of fiction? Most people who love to cite him aren't even aware of that.
