The Soviet Union didn't even last a hundred years yet its Impact was profound. However, will its legacy live on through the ages? Will its impact continue on?

Hard to say just yet. It could vary from

>A failed experiment in communism that's relegated to relative obscurity as "just" a competing world power in the aftermath of WW2
to
>An incredibly significant short-lived state who set the groundwork for much longer-lived significant events (like the Qin or Sui dynasties in China)

SSSR secured a solid, but rather uncomfortable, position for Russia and destroyed any hope for Marxists.

Depends on Putin, it wasn't decided yet.

Can we have a serious thread about Marxism? Let's have a real discussion that is not memed to death. I'm trying to understand what it is that appeals so bad to Marxists. What are some recommended reads on Marx and his philosophies?

Good luck. It was created on memes. It is fueled by meme and now memes are used to destroy what is left of it.

It doesn't work at all and can never work.
Marx's critiques on Capitalism can still be seen as valid, though.
But Marxism has never, can never and will never end well or resemble working.
>>
>>3239293
In theory, Marxism seeks to reach a classless society where everyone is provided with everything he needs for a comfortable life and works for the good of the community, not to further the financial interests of the employer.
The best start would be the Communist Manifesto as it was meant to be an introduction to Marxism. Anti-Dühring by Engels would probably be something to continue with as it goes more in-depth. The one work that gets mentioned the most when talking about Marxism is The Capital (a critic of political economy) but that's a bit harder to read, especially the second and third book - I can say that I have tried but never bothered to finish them.

Because anti-Stalin shills started with Khrushchev at dismantling his legacy and giving credit to Western intellectual hegemony.

Meanwhile in Britain, an increasingly cucked and irrelevant former world power had to pretend it had a great leader because it didn't have the guns of Americans or actual historical accuracy of its contributions as the USSR.

My grandfather's uncle fought in that war, on the Russian battleship, Borodino. He didn't make it. The Japanese had a superior fleet with more advanced battleships.

>>3239202
It was a combination of
1. Nobody expecting japs to fight with more than stones and sticks, they modernized quickly
2. Russians being forced to fight in the Far East, where they had a small army and fleet, and had to transport their manpower by trains

He was smart enough to call his brand of reactionary absolutism "socialism." The contemporary alt-right would be far more successful if they did the same, as opposed to branding themselves as literal Nazis. No change in political beliefs, just a disingenuous rebranding.

Stalin was a hater of Jews though

>According to Kitty Kelley's biography, Nancy Reagan "was renowned in Hollywood for performing oral sex." Just-say-yes Nancy--in the days when she was Nancy Davis--was known to give the best blowjob in town, "not only in the evening but in offices. [T]hat was one of the reasons that she was very popular on the MGM lot."

is this true history?

The best blowjob in town? I mean, I can her being the fourth best, or maybe even third, but the best?

Classic backpack can stop a bullet on the back
Russian zergrusher must wear backpack on front because:

-He only go foward so nullet can only come from front
-If bullet comes front back, it means it was fired by comissar (because zergrusher was too slow) and thus must not be stopped
