Why can't have of this website admit this guy was a hellspawn and had a very negative impact on communism's reputation abroad?
Not even his regressive social policies or endless sectarianism in regards to fragile socialist movements abroad is brought up

Hello, Langley. Slow day?

I like him. He was cool also.

It's Saturday. It seems like everyone's out having sex or something.

Because immaturity is debating people who you know don't want to be convinced, but insist you must waste your time trying to anyway to be a respectable leader. Maturity is sending them to the gulag for wasting the people's time

he sucked ass cheeks and socialism in one country literally went against marxist theory. Also he was a nationalist and him strengthing the vanguard and establishing a cult of personality is what later cause the collapse and hijacking of the USSR by the bourgesisie

>>2554518
CIA did more for Succalin than Stalinists gave them credit for, there is no such thing as bad PR, Succallin would've been thankful for all of the slander. What really makes a stalinist falsifier mad is spending any time taking about the unrivaled greatness of Amadeo Bordiga and his contribution to the October revolution. To which they can only whail in lies and falsify and cry about how he was a super fascist hitler which makes even more people look into him and join the horde of Bordiggas growing ever more relevant with each day.

>>2554514
I think it's rooted in more of a psychological impulse. The left loses a lot and eats shit in politics all the time but Stalin appears as this very calm but strong figure (it's a curious mix of vibes) which is attractive and comfy to people in a situation that feels chaotic (or if your life is chaotic). That's on a smaller scale with leftists but I think part of the Stalin cult of personality in the USSR wasn't really imposed on people from the top down but emerged relatively organically within the society given the conditions of the time and place. It's like some combination of isolation, pervasive scarcity, and also exhaustion borne from extreme effort that might be summed up by the term "moral enervation" or "prolonged exposure to negative situations."

The stalinist school of falsification trying to paint Amadeo Bordiga PBUH who didn't even hurt a flea as a bigger killer than Hitler shows what kind of bullshit their theory is built upon.

They are smart and correct, much like him.


Read blood lies faggots

>>2554538
everytime I read about socialism in one country being bad,I just wonder what does that actually mean in terms of actual policies,do you bring back capitalism and liberalize immediatly ? what's the big idea ?

SWAB (Stalin was always based)

1. Daddy issues probably
2. Very recognizable, conventionally attractive even by today's standards, and nominally white in the eyes of the layman racist.
3. Without going into the more granular details, someone would think what the USSR did was "vanilla" socialism, as opposed to Dengism, where it takes a lot of reading to grasp how socialism can employ containerized capitalism and still be socialist. That the USSR was greatly successful for a while even without going dengist brings hope for both vanilla socialism and dengist socialism, and people see Stalin as the face of the USSR.
4. His reactionary tendencies lets the left have an avenue for safe edgy / youtuber edgy. "We're homophobic too, chud, join our book club! Red shadilay or something!"

Stalin is just easy ammo for us anarchists to prove Bakunin was right about the red beaurecracy

its funny to me how westoids cant stop talking about how stalin was literally hitler when he is the one who defeated hitler for them

who can tell me the real deal about the orphans he supposedly killed after WW2. I've heard there were just tons of orphans after the war and the story is he just killed them all.

>>2554542
Ah
So leftoids worship a tyrannical cunt that devoured the children of the revolution and redefined socialism as “capitalism, but commies are the ones running bourgeois tyranny, now, BACK TO WORK (we don’t want to fall behind American production quotas!)” because they’re utter fucking losers, and cowards

Makes sense to me

>>2554571
Is the “lot of reading” required to understand how “socialists” (the government lmao) can maintain capitalism but uhhh it’s actually socialism because of the name of the party tantamount to just taking Marx’s collective works, dousing them in gasoline, and burning them?

in doubt use dialectics. he was a remnant of the tsar mentality. just like the french revolution caused reactionary backlash with napoleon bonaparte and bourbons.

Stalin's nationalism created Israel and doomed Greece and Spain. Some communists like that so they still view Stalin as "good".

>>2554561

go big or go home.

force socialism upon the whole world or die trying.

this would have meant that the USSR would have died a much quicker death, but gave communism a much more honest legacy

>>2554514
The reputation of socialism was damaged by western propagandists and traitors like trotsky, whose agitprop you're uncritically spreading for free

>>2555024
no i'm pretty sure it was people like brezhnev, stalin, etc who are only known as brutish warmongers or chauvinists, but yeah just blame trotsky for all your problems

>>2555024
Fun fact: the reason Trot parties are so big in Latin America is because all the official Stalinite parties went Popular Front during WW2, allying themselves with the hated comprador bourgeoisie and alienating them from the working class.

Stalin was not a Jew

70% le good 30% le bad
I think China is only standing now because they were simply not retarded like corn man, destalinization was fucking retarded

Glory to Stalin ♡

>>2555034
Latam retardation nothing new

>>2555041
Also him going against the cult of personality of Stalin but keeping Lenins cult around made no sense, afterall it was Stalin that artificially created it and imho one the worst things he did although I kinda understand why he would have done so.

>>2555052
>Le what he should have done!
He kept a cult of Lenin to continue duping workers into having their surplus product extracted whilst their political control continued to be totally subverted

>>2555022
>the USSR would have died a much quicker death, but gave communism a much more honest legacy
the absolute state of this board. it is really all about aesthetics and virtue signaling to these terminally online addicts.

>>2554514
>Not even his regressive social policies
Stopped reading right here. Reddit is down the hall to the left.

>>2555110
Communism is utterly fucking dead and the existence of Soviet capitalism didn’t make a difference
What it did succeed at was delegitimizing communism to the vast majority of proletarians all over the world, with the situation being so catastrophic that honkies in the West have to cope and convince themselves the populations of Africa, Asia, and Latam are all secret communists and will revolt any day now, or uhhh once America collapses or something without lobbing its nukes at everyone else presumably or some other nonsense

When you tally it up, what did the USSR’s policies of:

Butchering commies

Collaborating with the West

Collaborating with nationalists in other countries

Maintaining a capitalist economy

Making sure workers had no political power by sidelining the soviets

Betraying pretty much all socialist parties in countries actually positioned to affect capitalism rather than create the proletariat

Determining all allied parties actually existed as bullet shields for Moscow lmao


Ensuring all allied parties were functionally puppets of Moscow, at least if they were in Europe lmao

Alienating China with all this bs (no I’m not a chinafag just that this is also hilarious)

>>2555117
>what was the tax on childlessness? what was the criminalization of homosexuality? what was the mass deportations, etc?

>>2555022
It's always ideological suicide with your types

>"Lets just give up because the revolution and the material conditiosn of the world are not pure enough, we need an HONEST legacy so the libs will accept us!!"


Kill yourself you lowlife mongrel

>>2555138
And its as if being "honest" would change anything, porky will still shoot and rape you given the chance if you are in any way an actual threat to capital

Trotzky versus Hitler would have been much more appropriate. A true battle of ideologies on the world stage. The battle to end all ideologies.

Stalin versus Hitler is just age old national chauvenism. Hurr durr my country is better than yours, reactionary crap.

>>2555153
It would have been rather peotic, but trotsky was much too unlikable on a personal level to lead the ussr, it was never much of a contest

>>2554514
>muh stalin
You believe in a great man theory. Why do YOU focus on this individual

>>2555110
>it is really all about aesthetics and virtue signaling to these terminally online addicts.
<t.aesthetically obsessed with the ussr and nations with red flags.

>>2555158
no you don't get it anon, any praise for stalin is great man theory but claiming he singlehandedly ruined communism is not. or something like that.

>>2555155
Personality contests are a blight against mankind.

Hm

>>2554514
Stalin was capable individual in some regards sure. But it is whole party, whole organisation that is responsible. It shouldnt take only one individual stalin to cause the degeneration of the whole party.

>>2555170
Unfortunate truth is that there's not really any getting rid of them. We're social animals after all

>>2555191
Of course there. Pushing the world to more rational and scientific thinking will not be an easy task, but it will be a worthwhile one.

We may be social animals, but we do not have to be illogical social animals. We can be better than this.

>>2555203
Sure, but it'll be a while before that becomes a priority. Gotta change the base first yknow

>>2554514
>hellspawn
Moralist bait detected, opinion discarded.

>>2555138
>Let’s give up—
Your problem is that you have a retarded voluntaristic and deeply moralist understanding of both the Marxian critique and the socialist offensive, leftcoms are not critiquing whatever the fuck the USSR “should have done”, they’re actually explaining why the cynical and opportunistic policies the Soviet state pursued once the socialist offensive resided and all that was left was maintaining the existence of the government for its own sake came about and the predictable outcome it led to

Because MLs, being as they are now functionally reactionaries (they literally worship the previous century, their politics amounts to a reactionary attempt to return to the that century in a certain sense, they are reactionaries in the most literal sense of the word and take overtly hostile stances towards the proletariat when one considers their open chauvinism against workers in the imperial core and paternalistic chauvinism towards workers outside it) they cannot even begin to comprehend the leftcom analysis of history and are permanently in the weak position of producing apologetics for the dead for no particular purpose at all against the interest of the proletarian-communist abolition of the capital system

>>2555215
>the leftcom analysis of history
Which one

>>2555215
Leftcom nonceSSence

>>2554514
Was his government socialist?

>>2554987
Have you read Deng and prerequisites, yet?

>>2554514

anyone one who glazes stalin too much or demonizes stalin too much is an idealistic hack who still believes in great man theory simple as

>>2555321
Anyone who has overly emotional opinions on historical figures is a nerd with too much time on their hands.

>>2555323
I would extend this to states as well and even the concept of statism, both nationalists and anarchists get way to overly sentimental and idealistic over what is just a tool of violence. interesting parallels with pro and anti gun crowds in the USA tbh.

>>2555215
>retarded leftcom nonsense

The only Marxism that matters is the one that's been actually practiced

>>2554514
He was a strong and relatively successful socialist leader.

>>2555022
I dont want an honest legacy i want to win.

>>2555337
You don’t have anything to prove such a ignorant statement.

>>2554514
>Why can't have of this website admit this guy was a hellspawn and had a very negative impact on communism's reputation abroad?
What would this entail? And I mean beyond the eternal vapid contentless declarations of support or disapproval communoids irl make constantly?

>Not even his regressive social policies or endless sectarianism in regards to fragile socialist movements abroad is brought up.

In what way sectarian? It was not when Stalin was at the head that the international communist movement fractured, quite the opposite. Lenin started the consolidation around the working strategy of the Bolsheviks and Stalin carried it forward. It is perhaps the opposite, such an insistence on strict adherence to orthodoxy is perhaps what kneecapped the movement in the first place, but that is another matter altogether.
Real fracturing of the communist movement, sectarian splintering, aside from Trotskyists, didn't start until the sino soviet split, 8 years after Stalin died. Trotsky already founded the left opposition when Lenin was still at the helm, which just goes to show how laughable the historical gaslighting of Trots is when the claim Trotsky to be the true heir of Lenin whatever that may mean. The Sino Soviet split, at least if you take Mao at his word, is actually explicitly over the USSR ditching the orthodox line of Stalin. The later Albanian faction and split from both *also* happened because of perceived divergence from Stalins Orthodoxy by both the USSR and China.

Perhaps you know of historical tendencies that I do not know of, so how, concretely, did Stalin cause Sectarianism? Hard mode: "He didn't put marginal groups into power in conquered lands after world war 2 and instead put people alligned with the ussr in power" is not a valid answer.

>Prague Spring

Happened 15 years after Stalin died.

>Hungarian uprising

Happened 3 years after Stalin died.

I am not trying to dunk on you, I am just trying to force you to actually think about why you hold this opinion, I am trying to get you to substantiate it, so you are actually able to seperate the very real concrete things Stalin did wrong, from vague "he was evil" type vibe shit.

>>2555365
And yet here you are, losing.

>>2555384
We are all losing. Blaming one guy for all the actions of the global communist movement for the 38+ years after he died is a liberal tier delusion designed to prevent you from actually engaging with our collective legacy. What Mao, Deng, Ho Chi Min, Kruschev, Breznev, Honecker, Kim Yun Il, Castro etc did cannot be blamed on the actions of one guy alone if you are an honest communist who wants to understand the mistakes of our movement.

>>2555387
>We are all losing
Correct, though some more than others.
>Blaming one guy
I don’t blame one guy.

>>2555395
>Correct, though some more than others.
Unless you are a copium inhaling western dengist we're all in the same shit.

>>2555398
>Unless you are a copium inhaling western dengist
I am not
>we're all in the same shit.
Some are deeper in it than others

>>2555403
>Some are deeper in it than others
There is one communist movement, one working class. I am not here to engage in historic football rivalries.

>>2555408
>There is one communist movement
>one working class
One working class that is not perfectly equalized, with another standing above it.
>I am not here to engage in historic football rivalries.
You are not. It is simply a basic fact that not all exist equally.

>Trotsky Ali should have succeeded the Prophet Lenin, instead of Stalin Abu Bakr who was rightly chosen


>>2554514
>why are so many leftists still attached to him?
>says the guy in the world where destalinization resulted in demoralization and infighting between communists worldwide, the Sino-Soviet split, decay of the party, and ultimately the destruction of the USSR and the era of darkest reaction we are still in

>>2555973
truth and nothing but truth

>Seventy-two years ago a great leader of the proletariat died, but his legacy is now emerging stronger than ever. Josef Stalin will forever be remembered by those able to look past the ahistorical formulations and hysterical propaganda churned out by bourgeois ‘experts’. It is the duty of communists the world over to recover and preserve the prestige of that great revolutionary and leader of the working class, Josef Stalin, and the state that he worked so hard to build and to defend: The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Some people just like authoritarian strong man types, and need big powerful figures to regulate life, other, like me, like freedom and be their own master not a bootlicker, but each to their own

>other, like me, like freedom and be their own master not a bootlicker, but each to their own
