Ts is where China got their "do nothing, win" strategy from
>>2880777>diehe didnt just die he was executed by anti-communist bureaukkkrackers
Stalin was an ultra leftist, he kept killing people over ideological purity instead of compro.ising
>>2880806Stalin did lot of retarded shit mate
porky praising him is not the own you think
>>2880803Litteraly. That's why the "Stalin red brown" narrative never made sense. Man just could not moderate.
>>2880809yeah, but ending the NEP wasn't one of them
>>2880777>A century later your writings becomes fundamental in modern Marxist thoughtBut you even admit yourself that you are a Lassallean cuck, why are you speaking for "Marxists"?
>Ts is where China got their "do nothing, win" strategy fromIt worked so well in the USSR during Khrushchev-to-Gorbachev.
Bukharin was rehabilitated during Gorbachev btw, in case the unoriginal, reactionary-derivative aesthetics of the OP got distracting.
>>2880838The Soviets were active participants in the Cold War. Bukharanism's core philosophy is to build sufficient capital for a modern socialist state before undertaking any broader international revolution.
>>2880849>The Soviets were active participants in the Cold War. Bukharanism's core philosophy is to build sufficient capital for a modern socialist state before undertaking any broader international revolution. As opposed to just getting carpet bombed and agent oranged?
Sounds smart. Really crazy a guy like that was sidelined as Nazi Germany was invading the USSR.
>>2880849how would that work in the face of encirclement that the US was undertaking in massive supercharged amounts by the 1950s though?
>>2880806Why does Stalin get credit for fighting Nazis? Didn't his stupidity/naivete lead to the Nazis making huge gains and killing a shitload of Soviet citizens in the opening salvos of the war because they were caught with their pants down? I'm not a WWII historian or anything that's just what I heard.
lol 2026 "lefty"pol is so right-wing people unironically think $talin was an ultra, I bet these are the same people who think "socialism" is getting more popular than ever
just shut it down already
>>2880859Stop listening to glowies.
>>2880877nta but it's objectively true that the purge of the Red Army's officer corps was one of the reasons Operation Barbarossa achieved its initial successes. It also gave the Nazis the confidence to invade, as they believed there would never be a better opportunity.
That said, in the context of preserving power, he wasn't wrong. There almost certainly would have been a coup, it's the nature of these kinds of governments.
>>2880870Having socially conservative views and an isolationist foreign policy doesnt make someone not an ultra you know.
Trotsky was also an ultra for different reasons.
Lenin, Bukharin etc understood that you can't get everything all at once.
>>2880890>nta but it's objectively true that the purge of the Red Army's officer corps was one of the reasons Operation Barbarossa achieved its initial successes. wrong. The military was constantly growing through the 1930s. Read Getty.
(btw, even of the percentages initially removed shown here, a third were re-instated.)
>>2880925this doesn't prove anything since it all it means is that new officers were being sent to the field, not that good officers were being sent to the field, which is actually what's being argued here
>>2880926No, it means that your idea of some massive officer purge is not true.
>>2880859>Didn't his stupidity/naivete lead to the Nazis making huge gains and killing a shitload of Soviet citizens in the opening salvos of the war because they were caught with their pants down?It did.
He also deserves the blame for enabling tje nazis with the molotov ribbentrop pact and giving them the opportunity to invade the ussr in the first place.
>>2880930lad the officer purge happened in 1940 and 1941, where's the data for that?
>>2880918he purged all communists from the party, disolved the comintern and helped create israel, but of course this is not rightist enough for the average berniebro leftypoltard
you really must have some terminal hitlerite brainrot to think this person was an "ultra", whatever it is that word means in your head, you are too far gone
>>2880934an ultra-rightist, maybe
>>2880934You are mentally ill. And Stalin was an ultra.
>>2880890>>2880925The Soviet officer purge is often very misunderstood.
The soviet union as was said previously was going trough a massive and rapid military expansion and as such would've lacked the necessary number of experienced officers to staff them even without a purge.
Second.
The officer purges were almost entirely targeted at the upper echelon of command.
So portraying the amount of officers purged compared to the total number of officers is again not really an accurate way of portray its scale.
>>2880796Rest in piss koba.
>>2880944>no argsanother rightoid defeat on my resume, feels good
>>2880811Stalin represented the moderate approach between left and right factions of the party before usurping power and declaring himself a czar of a slave empire.
This dude gave Stalin his own house after Nadezhda killed herself and Stalin needed a new place to not be haunted by her. Then Stalin killed him and kept the house.
>>2880950I'm a Stalin defender. I think some version of it was necessary, but I also think it was a huge miscalculation that could have lost the war because of its terrible timing. Stalin viewed Japan as the more immediate threat and assumed Germany would never be foolish enough to fight a two-front war.
>>2880949>There were a lot of Ukrainians and Balts who could have gotten on board with German occupation had it provided them with relief from the famines and the purges they had endured under Stalin. It didn't take long, however, before they came to the realisation that the Nazis were, somehow, even more indiscriminately murderousAlternate reality where reactionaries & oppoetunists care about "muh evil"
Total liberal googoo gaga gibberish
>>2880971just because you don't care doesn't mean that others won't
>>2880972There objectively existed nazi collaborators among both balts and ukrainians, *and* they rehabilitated all those nazis today, so it seems you really are living in an alternate reality
>>2880966>Stalin viewed Japan as the more immediate threat and assumed Germany would never be foolish enough to fight a two-front war.Not unreasonable at the time tbh.
>>2880966>I'm a Stalin defender. I think some version of it was necessary, but I also think it was a huge miscalculation that could have lost the war because of its terrible timing.I think it's one of those things that doesn't necessarily have a right or wrong answer, especially when you're looking at it in context rather than from hindsight.
