> If you want to be really esoteric, Marxism is advanced feudalism.
No. Marxism is not advanced feudalism. Feudalism is predicated on aristocrat-serf class relations, whereas Marxism is predicated on the elimination of class relations. On what planet could one possibly come to the "esoteric" conclusion that Marxism is "advanced feudalism?" Even assuming this is inspired by that dumb pop-Economics book from Yanis Varoufakis (Technoefeudalism) that is not even his hypothesis. His hypothesis is that the capitalist countries are becoming Technofeudal, not the AES countries. I am honestly baffled by this take and thought it deserved its own thread, because I did not want to derail the thread I found it in. Where are people getting this idea? Is there a common source for this revision or is it arising out of pure vibes?

What do we do about anti-intellectualism?
It's completely impossible to have any sort of meaningful conversation about anything that matters anymore because nobody will engage with the facts. Conservatives who've never put any thought into a topic in their life will say "well my initial assumption is obviously common sense" and the general public will treat this as an equally (if not more) valid argument than citing years of history and peer-reviewed research done by people who've dedicated their lives to understanding the world. There's no way for the left to convince anyone of anything if reality itself is shunned as political bias. It's so infuriating that it's pushing me towards a radically misanthropic mindset. How do we pull the masses out from this gaping abyss?

All societal systems that have existed since humans became sedentary roughly 10,000 years ago are fascist. Before that, for nearly 95 percent of our species’ 300,000-year history, humanity lived in hunter-gatherer or forager societies. These communities had no permanent hierarchies, no inherited positions of power, no state institutions and no ruling class at all: decisions were made through collective consensus, and people with particular experience or skill held only temporary authority rooted in mutual respect, never the power to coerce others. They were entirely classless and egalitarian, with land, tools and hunting grounds held as common property, food distributed according to need, and no exploitation of one group’s labour by another. There was no organised state violence, no standing armies and no large-scale warfare between communities; internal conflicts were resolved through mediation rather than repression. Gender relations were broadly equitable too, as women’s foraging work supplied 60 to 80 percent of most groups’ food supply, earning them equal social standing. Groups were small and flexible, usually made up of 20 to 50 related people. This form of organisation is known as primitive communism: the default way humans lived for almost all of our history, before sedentism gave rise to the fascist systems that have defined every society ever since.

Class A NATO and Class B NATO.
Class A - Germanic NATO.
Class B - Slavic NATO.
When there would be an actual attack on NATO Class B, it doesn't mean the Class A (Germanic) will go and send their soldiers to fight the attacker.
You will not read about this in official documents and statements, but this is the reality.
If for example, Putler would attack the baltics, we might see Poland, Romania and maybe Finland and Sweden, fighting.
NATO is a paper tiger, Putler is already doing hybrid war against baltics, Poland, Romania, but NATO is not reacting at all, they don't respond with hybrid war against Russia.

You know there are actually two NATO's?Class A NATO and Class B NATO.
Class A - Germanic NATO.

Am I crazy for thinking this?
One of my core political positions and personal values since I was a literal child is that any kind of violence and coercion is way worse when accepted and normalized or state sponsored. I can accept rape, murder, and torture as facts of life that are impossible to eradicate as long as the public is strongly opposed to it and the state cracks down on it. What disturbs and enrages me to the point of wanting to hurt people is when people become accepting of it and even worse when the state starts practicing it. A cruel criminal needs to be turned around and the community needs to be protected from him. A government oficiall that authorizes torture and degradation of a person ought to be shot on sight. The visceral reaction i get from normalized barbarity is so strong that its almost knee-jerk. I wonder if there is anyone else who thinks like this or if im a genuinely insane.

The 2003 US invasion of Iraq was arguably one of the worst human rights atrocities of the past 50 years. Over 1 million Iraqi CIVILIANS were killed. If that's not a low key genocide similar to Gaza I don't know what is. But it's even worse knowing this war was based entirely on a gigantic lie (a "noble lie" if you will) by some of the slimiest, most diabolical villains ever known to American politics. Yes, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld are dead and rotting in hell. But George W Bush, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith are still alive. Neocons Bill Kristol, Robert Kagan and John Bolton who were the top dogs in PNAC (Project for a New American Century), which called for massive military spending and preemptive attacks (also a "New Pearl Harbor" which conveniently happened on 9/11) are also still alive. WHY HAVEN'T ANY OF THEM EVER BEEN CHARGED AS WAR CRIMINALS?????
The Straussian cabal is very real and still holds loads of ideological power within American politics. Many Neocons from the Bush II era have now since become Democrats and publicly supported Kamala Harris over Trump on the basis Trump wasn't Neocon enough. These people have names and addresses and have to face some kind of legal penalties so the world can finally have closure and the Neocon war criminals can finally reap what they sowed.

I remember when he had a whole cult around him in the early 2010s during Occupy and was a huge cheerleader for the Rojava revolution in the years that followed. His book Debt The First 5000 Years was a huge hit (and I mean HUGE, in the sense that you'd see it sold in both anarchist infoshops and mainstream booksellers like Barnes). He was instrumental in rewriting the historical narrative of class formation and the development of money and economic systems. A lot of Marxists didn't like that but they had zero means of debunking his work. When he died in 2020 there was an outpouring of love from leftists all over the world, for an anarchist intellectual who meant so much to people.
But now, I never see Graeber mentioned, ever. The only times I see him or his work brought up is to heavily chastise it, or attack him for his anarchist politics. Tankies hate him but can never prove him wrong. I have to ask why he's become nothing but a footnote in the history of leftist thought, especially when he was so celebrated 15 years ago.

Argentine Professors Call 48-Hour Strike Over Funding Law
Public universities are not receiving the funding established by the law, despite Supreme Court rulings ordering its implementation. This delay affects both the day-to-day operation of the institutions and the payment of faculty salaries and student scholarships. Argentine unions denounce that salary adjustments in recent months resulted from unilateral decisions, without formal collective bargaining, and were far below inflation. On Sunday, they also warn that they will intensify protests if the Milei administration does not offer concrete responses.

Venezuelan Parliament Approves Law to ‘Protect’ Real Estate Developers
The law also establishes fines for delays in submitting documents, permit failures, non-compliance with regulations, and violations of preventive measures, among other offenses. At the same time, the legislative project establishes incentives for private sector constructors such as greater flexibility to set prices, an end to a prior existing 24-month deadline for completing certain projects, and modified conditions benefiting sellers should buyers fail to make payments. The bill also eliminated the lending banks’ liability in case the real estate project is not completed. For buyers, the change removes one of the parties they could potentially hold accountable in case the purchased home is not delivered.

The P85 wage standoff
For most workers like Palajos, the day begins with work. But before the first task is done, another calculation is already running in the back: How far will today’s wage go? The answer has become harder to stretch as the prices of food and other necessities continue to rise. “The cost of goods here in Manila is very high. Our current minimum wage of P695 ($11.24) feels like it is only worth P300 ($4.86),” Palajos said, describing the rising cost of living in the capital.

Argentine Professors Call 48-Hour Strike Over Funding Law
Public universities are not receiving the funding established by the law, despite Supreme Court rulings ordering its implementation. This delay affects both the day-to-day operation of the institutions and the payment of faculty salaries and student scholarships. Argentine unions denounce that salary adjustments in recent months resulted from unilateral decisions, without formal collective bargaining, and were far below inflation. On Sunday, they also warn that they will intensify protests if the Milei administration does not offer concrete responses.

Venezuelan Parliament Approves Law to ‘Protect’ Real Estate Developers
The law also establishes fines for delays in submitting documents, permit failures, non-compliance with regulations, and violations of preventive measures, among other offenses. At the same time, the legislative project establishes incentives for private sector constructors such as greater flexibility to set prices, an end to a prior existing 24-month deadline for completing certain projects, and modified conditions benefiting sellers should buyers fail to make payments. The bill also eliminated the lending banks’ liability in case the real estate project is not completed. For buyers, the change removes one of the parties they could potentially hold accountable in case the purchased home is not delivered.

Sudan anti-war forces reject El Burhan dialogue call
The participants described El Burhan’s dialogue call as a political manoeuvre aimed at consolidating the army’s authority, granting it political legitimacy and paving the way for elements of the former regime and the Islamic movement to return to power. The participants adopted a joint position paper, The Peace Process We Want, calling for an independent political process free from the dominance of either party to the conflict and rejecting dialogue that could entrench military rule.

The P85 wage standoff
For most workers like Palajos, the day begins with work. But before the first task is done, another calculation is already running in the back: How far will today’s wage go? The answer has become harder to stretch as the prices of food and other necessities continue to rise. “The cost of goods here in Manila is very high. Our current minimum wage of P695 ($11.24) feels like it is only worth P300 ($4.86),” Palajos said, describing the rising cost of living in the capital.

From the few bits and pieces I've read on it, their work seems completely irrelevant and stuck in philosophical qualms with no relation to the real world. The hegelian interpretation of Marx reads as a bunch of messianic and idealist garbage that Marx would've condemned.
But what's /leftypol/'s opinion on the matter ?
What are your thoughts on hegelian marxists ?
I've personally approached marx from a more economic perspective and I was surprised to see that some authors treat Marx as primarily a philosopher rather than a social critique.From the few bits and pieces I've read on it, their work seems completely irrelevant and stuck in philosophical qualms with no relation to the real world.

Only people who know the answer and live meaningful lives can go to Heaven and Paradise. It's not even about what relegion you follow. You have to be authentic and tell the truth or else you cannot find the Truth because the Truth hides from the liars, the hypocrites and the "nice" people. "nice" guys and "nice" girls are liars and deserve to reincarnate in purgatory until they face themselves and admit loudly what they are and what they want. Bunch of nothingbags. Their god is "nice" but not the real God himself.
The people who go to Hell are the people who have no way to follow and are hedonistic nihilists. It is only logical, because they don't beleive in Heaven so there is no Heaven for them. They live to only be contrarians so they are the satan and they go to Hell of the relegion they oppose. Bunch of cows. Hell is for ridiculers and nihilist cowards.

what about a web browser that silently launches a qemu snapshot of alpine linux running firefox or chromium (with adblock and paywallbypassclean) to render a page and save it to the host, then kills the vm and generates a simple html text-only version of the page? most modern cpus have virtualization acceleration and qemu could use whatever vm acceleration is available on the host os like kvm or whpx or whatever so the rendering ought to be pretty quick, the vm snapshot already has the os and firefox running in a frozen a state so no waiting for it to boot up, and it wouldn't be detected as a headless browser because it's just regular desktop firefox/chromium. just a thought.
writing a modern text-only web browser
i was thinking about the reader view feature in ios safari and how surprisingly well it works with a lot of sites despite tremendous efforts to block it, and thinking about gemini and how it never really took off due the insanely tall order of expecting people to create a whole new world wide web from scratch in the 2020s, and how all the old text-mode web browsers are ancient and don't work with much of the modern web, and how writing a new web browser from scratch is basically impossible now if you're not a huge corporation with billions of dollars, and how all these "stealth browser" projects like brave are shady as fuck, and how headless web browsers are basically a lost cause with web developers (scum of the earth) constantly figuring out new ways to spy on users and block anything that doesn't look like a real desktop browser, i had a crazy idea:what about a web browser that silently launches a qemu snapshot of alpine linux running firefox or chromium (with adblock and paywallbypassclean) to render a page and save it to the host, then kills the vm and generates a simple html text-only version of the page? most modern cpus have virtualization acceleration and qemu could use whatever vm acceleration is available on the host os like kvm or whpx or whatever so the rendering ought to be pretty quick, the vm snapshot already has the os and firefox running in a frozen a state so no waiting for it to boot up, and it wouldn't be detected as a headless browser because it's just regular desktop firefox/chromium. just a thought.

I hate Warhammer
I hate all of it. The fans, the retarded looking oversized armor. Most of all I hate that it’s heavily focused on the American military. You never get to play as the Russian orcs or anything. No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

If the price of something is determined by the amount of human work that goes into it, how does one explain the price of luxury items or artworks (which only require a little bit of work but are overpriced due to the supply/demand imbalance)?
It might seem like a bunch of impertinent exceptions that could be overlooked but
- the luxury industry is far from being marginal
- if the premise that the value of something is determined by the amount of human work that goes into it isn't true in every context, then the whole law of falling rate of profit doesn't hold true in every context either

In Kfarchouba, life is 'a big prison' under Israeli occupation of south Lebanon
Qassem, an octogenarian, said that, as a local political authority, he had assured the Israeli military that there were no armed individuals in the village. But this has not made life easy for residents, as constant surveillance and the threat of raids, detention and interrogation add to a pervasive sense of insecurity. Occupying Israeli forces have also limited people's access to their agricultural lands and olive groves. “We can’t use our land, they don’t allow us. The mountains, the valleys, the orchards, the farmlands where we cultivate," the mayor said.

Cuba says US sanctions are blocking its efforts to open the economy to private investment
”Literally, the United States has done everything imaginable to try to prevent foreign investors,” said William LeoGrande, a professor at American University and a leading expert on U.S.-Cuba relations. ”When they say, `Well, we want to see Cuba open up to foreign investment,’ they’re being disingenuous. … It’s not possible for them to succeed without some kind of sanctions relief.” The goal of Trump’s Republican administration, he said, is “not just to open up Cuba economically but to overthrow the Cuban government — to change the nature of the Cuban political system.”

In Kfarchouba, life is 'a big prison' under Israeli occupation of south Lebanon
Qassem, an octogenarian, said that, as a local political authority, he had assured the Israeli military that there were no armed individuals in the village. But this has not made life easy for residents, as constant surveillance and the threat of raids, detention and interrogation add to a pervasive sense of insecurity. Occupying Israeli forces have also limited people's access to their agricultural lands and olive groves. “We can’t use our land, they don’t allow us. The mountains, the valleys, the orchards, the farmlands where we cultivate," the mayor said.

Indonesia takes on Malaysia in battle over palm oil pricing
Analysts say dominance in physical supply does not automatically translate into pricing power. Jakarta’s move to set new benchmarks may not be enough to persuade international traders to ditch Bursa Malaysia’s crude palm oil futures contract (FCPO), the industry’s principal reference for pricing and hedging.

Billionaire CEO of Canada’s Shopify demands abolition of right to vote for broad sections of the population
Lütke declared that voting rights should be stripped from those whom he termed “dependents”—based on their payment of income tax. This would disenfranchise wide swathes of workers on low wages, elderly pensioners, the unemployed, students and the infirm. These proposals were met with support from within the Canadian capitalist oligarchy and international financial elite, including from the fascist Elon Musk.

Cuba says US sanctions are blocking its efforts to open the economy to private investment
”Literally, the United States has done everything imaginable to try to prevent foreign investors,” said William LeoGrande, a professor at American University and a leading expert on U.S.-Cuba relations. ”When they say, `Well, we want to see Cuba open up to foreign investment,’ they’re being disingenuous. … It’s not possible for them to succeed without some kind of sanctions relief.” The goal of Trump’s Republican administration, he said, is “not just to open up Cuba economically but to overthrow the Cuban government — to change the nature of the Cuban political system.”

Marxist Historiography
Can we understand the progression of history through the analysis of class and contradictions in society? Why do liberal historians deny the existence of economic class, but insist on social class? A classic example might be the Marxist, Georges Lefebvre, saying how the bourgeois class spearheaded the French Revolution due to an erosion of the divine right of kings and the expansion of mercantilism. But Alfred Cobban denies this simplification of French society, and states that different social classes agitated for the toppling of King Louis for separate reasons, including women as a social class or certain nobles seeing the monarchy as outmoded. Even the peasantry, Cobban argued, were not determined by the economic bonds of the bourgeoisie in relation to emergent property, but by the overspending and debt of the monarchy that could no longer sustain food domestically and over-taxed. Is Marxist analysis merely touching the surface without looking deeper?

The Postcolonial Volk
By Benjamin Zachariah
Polity, 176 pages, $25
You might have noticed that at some point, progressive types began to use the term “folks” to refer to “people.” There are black folks, queer folks, indigenous folks. The change is significant. Whereas “people” evokes a sense of a universal subject, “folks” is particular. It implies a world of distinctions: different cultures, different experiences, different interests. No people, just “peoples,” all speaking with a different voice. From this perspective, “The political world is a pluriverse, not a universe.”
While the idea of a pluriverse has become increasingly popular within decolonial thought, that last line didn’t come from the tradition’s ever-proliferating ranks of academic adherents. It came from Carl Schmitt, the Nazi jurist. At a time when everything is “literally Hitler,” the comparison can seem overwrought. But it is precisely the comparison between post-colonial particularism and the völkisch right that Benjamin Zachariah reveals with a keen sense of the absurd in his new book, The Postcolonial Volk.
Zachariah critiques the “conglomerate” of postcolonial and decolonial theory clustering around what’s come to be known as “theory from the Global South.” But appearances are deceiving, because it’s not really from the Global South at all. As Zachariah describes, its language and legitimacy claims are crafted in the Global North, exported to the Global South, and then reimported as authentic non-Western knowledge.
And just as it is not really of the Global South, this ostensibly left-wing “postcolonial-decolonial-Global South conglomerate” is not really of the left either. Despite the right’s insistence that the ghost of Karl Marx is currently undertaking a long march through the institutions, Zachariah’s central claim is that the contemporary left actually has far more in common with anti-communist and proto-fascist forces than with the nineteenth-century founder of “scientific socialism.” In important respects, its ethos actually arises from an entirely rival tradition, one that encompasses romantic nationalism, indigenism, cultural organicism, and völkisch thought. It is, Zachariah says, “Romanticism, rather than the much-reviled Enlightenment, that suggests itself as the intellectual basis of the ‘post-Enlightenment’ world that Global Southistan now lays claim to.”
This is why, as Zachariah shows, the postcolonial outlook now common on the contemporary left is so hostile to the Enlightenment and its ideal of universal truth. In his satirical “Twelve Theses on Postcolonialism,” he condenses its outlook into its propositions including “the individual is an Enlightenment conspiracy” and “the Age of Reason is the Age of Empire.” Contrary to popular belief, universal reason and the emancipation of the individual were central to Marxism and the socialist and communist traditions shaped by it (“We are communists out of egoism,” Engels once wrote to Marx), however miserably they failed in practice. Marx and Engels were part of the Young Hegelian milieu, who were deeply impressed by the “heroes of the French Revolution,” and even called themselves “encyclopaedists” after the eighteenth-century Enlightenment philosophes. This is a far cry from the unholy trinity that Zachariah skewers, however much its adherents may sometimes rummage in the dustbins for what he calls the “debris of Marx- and- Engels-isms.”
Postcolonialism does not simply swap out the working class for some other group of the oppressed. Its object is a mystic unity of culture, collective memory, fraught relationships to race and place, and inherited victimhood. Blood and soil in these formulations are only slightly obscured by a thin rhetorical dust.
As Zachariah shows, the postcolonial tendency’s hostility to individualism and universalism follows precisely from its Romantic and völkisch premises. This is why, as Zachariah describes through a number of jarring examples, its language passes so easily out of the mouths of Hindu nationalists, Islamists, and white identitarians. All emphasize authentic peoples, violated inheritances, foreign contamination, internal betrayers, and cultural restoration as a magical solution to social and political problems.
One of Zachariah’s most illuminating examples is that of Benoy Kumar Sarkar, a Bengali social scientist whom Zachariah describes as “a self-conscious and dedicated user of völkisch ideas” and “zealous co-worker with the Nazis,” who is now unselfconsciously revered as a pioneer of Indian sociology, political science, and forebear of postcolonial thought. That Sarkar was a resolute admirer of Hitler, whom he called “Vivekananda multiplied by Bismarck,” is forgiven or ignored by those eager to find in him a postcolonial precursor.
The story is similar, if more well known, regarding Martin Heidegger, whom Zachariah describes as “postcolonial scholars’ preferred philosopher of ‘affect’” and whose defenders’ attempt to save him from the charge of Nazism “faltered on the evidence of his own diaries.” One compromised intellectual ancestor might be a mere misstep, a product of a momentary lapse in judgment (even if lasting many years). But when the fascist affinities of your forebears must repeatedly be bracketed or explained away, it should tell you that something is wrong with your outlook.
Not that this is really possible, because postcolonialism’s epistemology means it is singularly incapable of recognizing the proto-fascism of its völkisch affinities. As Zachariah writes, these are instead routinely “underplayed or explained away in terms of the ‘difference’ of non-Western cultures, which are allegedly incapable of fascism or to whom Western concepts such as fascism simply do not apply.” If the volk is light-skinned, the politics belong to the right; if dark-skinned, to the left, and ne’er the twain shall meet. And so, the right remains evil for its organic nationalism, while the left is merely seeking cultural renewal; the right is dangerous for denouncing non-white internal enemies but when the left denounces whites it is merely identifying obstacles to “decolonization.” It is the peculiarities of the volk, rather than the politics, that matter.
Why has the left turned to these romantic ideas? Zachariah cites the collapse of the Soviet Union as one cause. But he hits on an even deeper reason near the start of the book, when he draws on Walter Benjamin’s much-quoted vignette inspired by Paul Klee’s Angelus Novus. This is the backward-facing, forward-blown Angel of History, who is to Benjamin, “surveying the debris of the past” as a storm blowing from Paradise drives him perilously into the future. “He would like to pause,” goes the vignette, “to awaken the dead and to piece together what has been smashed,” but the gale has got so strong he cannot close his wings.
Zachariah’s intended point is well taken: We can no more return to an earlier materialist left than postcolonial volk can return to the idyllic time before the colonial “Fall.” Both the longing and the backward-looking means of overcoming it are misguided. But Benjamin’s image also answers a deeper question: Just why is there such a passionate desire to escape the forces of history and take refuge in the wholeness of the past?
In You Shall Be as Gods, Erich Fromm reads the expulsion from Eden not as man’s corruption but “the beginning of his rise.” Eden is the central symbolic story of man’s gradual alienation from animalhood and nature in the development of his capacity to reason and disobey, that is, his capacity for freedom. But crucially, this freedom is experienced as a painful sense of loss, as freedom imposes burdens of uncertainty, choice, and responsibility.
“Man suffers from this loss of oneness,” Fromm writes, and “his most passionate striving is to return to the world of union which was his home.” And so while man, in Fromm’s radical humanist reading of the Hebrew scriptures, reasons and argues with God on his ascent to independence, he is always drawn back downward, “to the womb, the Mother Earth,” and the certainties and bindings of the past, nature, clan, and idols.
This is the deeper yearning expressed in Benjamin’s Angel of History. We want to go back and pick up the pieces, rebuild what’s been lost. But the most painful lesson, the one we continually cannot accept, is that there is no going back.

>It is no coincidence that South Korean society has been suffering from a low birth rate, as it seems to find the mere presence of children exhausting. As proof, one need only consider the large number of establishments that refuse entry to the youngest customers. "At first, we had baby seats, but there were too many problems. The little ones would scream, throw food, and, or, refuse to eat it. Their behavior could be annoying to other patrons. But our prices are quite high, therefore customers are expecting superior service," said Iyo Iyo (not her real name), an employee of a rather chic sushi restaurant in the center of Seoul. Like hundreds of others, this establishment does not allow children. The words "no-kids zone" have even made their on way on the restaurant's menu.

Kid Free Zones in Korea
We need to ban these in the West before they become a thing. If a venue doesn't serve alcohol or cannabis, then there is no legal reason for it to prohibit children.https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/02/19/south-korea-s-no-kids-zones-reflect-a-society-where-people-have-given-up-on-trying-to-accommodate-each-other_6540962_4.html

I don't give a fuck about your gender.
I seriously don't care what your pronouns are, you don't need them, no-one needs them. I barely even care what your name is. I don't care what you have in your pants unless you want me to touch it. This shit is an absolute waste of time and I only tolerate it because the patriarchal status quo is fucking poison and these coping mechanisms might help a few aching people.
Act how you want. Just don't expect me to accept society's genderist delusion. Masculinity is a spook. Femininity is a spook. You're looking for something lying underneath those labels - not the labels themselves.

Dear Mods
Please stop deleting random threads from /siberia/. I dont know if you arbitrarily decide what to moderate based on your BPD mood swings, or just dont bother checking what you are actually deleting when clicking "delete all posts from IP" button, but I am sick and tired of posting in a thread, returning later to check if I got any (you)s, only to find the thread gone. If you are bored and want to moderate something, please consider dedicating your efforts to cleaning the complete shitshow that is our "serious discussion" board.

Literally everything i learn about trotsky just makes him seem more and more based.
Why do ml's still seethe at him? Because he lost a power struggle against stalin over a hundred years ago??
Hes the only reason there was even a ussr to fight over in the first place.
