I am not hoxhaist, but the lies about Stalin are ridiculous.BAzilion deaths?
Soviet UNion actualy had insane population growth mainly because people had good lives and felt secure for the future

When Stalin took power RUssia was destroyed from civi war and had iliterate population, Stalin industrialised the nation, removed iliteracy and electrified the nation. Soviet Union had awesome science, good healthcare, amazing industry, was creating cars, televisors and other goods.Stalin was awesome

Are you? I realize what the graph was you stupid nigger. I said that your graph was shitty because it was a projection.

I also said that the standard of living boom in the 1950s Russia was due to 27 million Russians exiting the world in the decade preceding it. It's basic malthusianism. Lower population means more for those who survived. The same thing also happened after the black plague in Europe.

So my question to you is : how many nigger cocks do you suck on a regular basis?

That's not true. Kim accomplished everything Stalin accomplished.

He industrialized north korea, made literacy rates 99%, developed a nuclear program and even the start of a space program.

North Korea today is exactly like the USSR in the 1950s. What a paradise!

Not true, french industrialists tend to be rather conservative. They were brought on because "It's the year 1968! Don't be ray-ciss!"

Of course there were guest workers, but they were supposed to GO BACK. What leftists did was two-fold :
- they abolished the clause which said that guest workers had to go back
- they enacted a law, the law of "family regrouping", which meant that every fucking nigger and sandnigger in Apefrica could claim french citizenship if he had a family member currently as a guest worker. Of course this opened the floodgates.

>The 'KGB'. Nice strawman, retard.
That's not what a strawman is, retard. And what I said is factually correct, the KGB funded many leftist organizations in the west.

>You just said that the SU couldn't feed their citizens, but they secretly subverted the whole world?

I'm fucking surprised Stalin's character has withstood as much as it has.

He was from a relative and objective perspective a great leader, if not one the greatest.

But keep in mind that Russia is an extremely rich country in terms of resources and even if they lagged 70-100 years behind countries like the US and Germany and managed to catch up and surpass - they had help. They paid companies like Ford to help them kickstart the industry - but the USSR catching up to the west is still very impressive though.

20-60 million figures is just propaganda, there is no "proof" or logic behind these figures. And more people are in US prisons today than ever sat in Gulags.

>>61105641
1. Death camps highly exaggerated but they did exist yes, and innocent people were sent there, yes. But how many sit in US prisons now? Way more than ever sat in Gulags.

2. Officer purge - how do you know it was not necessary? I think Stalin and his people knew more than you and the west.

3. He made a deal with Hitler after trying for 2 weeks to make a deal with the west. He knew Hitler was building up for war - something the west was ignorant about. It was a clever move, and not evil taking the circumstances.

4. He won against Finland and got territory. And they had to do it, because Finland was flirting with Nazi-Germany. Clever and not evil move.

5. He did not trust Hitler, what make you think that? If he trusted Hitler he would not have pushed the industry towards military production in the scale he did.

6. Surprised that Hitler was stupid enough to attack this early, he knew he would attack. I think all of the world was surprised.

7. Because 1943 was when the large scale production was scheduled to be done.

8. I do not think anybody could save him from the strokes he had.

Of course you can. This "you can't just make people leave!" is a typical example of the kind of marxist demoralization inflicted upon western society since the 1960s.

You do know that following the Algerian war a million french people fled Algeria in a few days, right? A few days!

>The US had massive immigration since the 1880's,
I already told you, you stupid fucking nigger, that the USA is not remotely comparable to Europe because the USA is a land of immigration to start with. How fucking stupid are you?

> Surprised that Hitler was stupid enough to attack this early, he knew he would attack. I think all of the world was surprised.
Stalin refused for several days to believe that Hitler was preparing to invade when all of his competent(surviving) military commanders implored him to deploy a defensive line. He even had intelligence reports warning him of an impending assault.

Yes.

Europe has been capitalistic since the late 18th century.

Massive immigration started after mai 68 when leftists started dominating mass culture.

>Russia was a wasteland devastated by the civil war

That was precipitated by the Bolshevik civil war precipitated by Lenin and sustained his chief crony Stalin. 13 million casualties there. Russia wasn't in any danger of losing the WW1 against Germany, it was Bolshevik propaganda that led to abandonment of the army and tyranny of the soviets. The Bolsheviks overthrew the Constituents Assembly after being crushed in the democratic elections by the SRs and Mensheviks. This deprived Russia of its choice for government in the first time in history. The Romanovs were far less tyrannical than the Soviets. No serious historian denies this.

The forced famine and genocide of the Ukrainian kulaks is another one of the most ridiculous and obscene actions in history. The Soviet Union never recovered from death of 8 million and the annihilation of Russia's most efficient and productive farmers. Of course, in the insanity of Marxism ideology, your class infers behavior, your class determines your person.

That lovely collectivization you referred to that "cured" the peasantry cost 9.5 million lives, more than a third of these had been shot or tortured, perished on long death marches into exile, or died in the frozen wastes of Siberia and the far north. The rest died of famine.

If you want to talk about "Stalin's genius" in WW2, had stalin undertaken a number of essential measure, as was urged to do by his generals, his intelligence sources, and Winston Churchill the war that followed would have been shorter and less costly in lives. Had the forces at Stalin's disposal been deployed on full-alert in their planned defensive positions even a week before Hitler's invasion, the blow from the Nazis would have been absorbed to significant degree. Stalin's miscalculations were of such vast, catastrophic proportions that it is hard to anything comparable in history.

Stalin was a complicated figure, most of the recent historiography is a little more generous to him, but that doesn't exclude the immense human suffering which was common during his rule.

>>61113145

Well, yes and no. Russia's transformation from essentially a failed state to the second superpower was remarkable, and a lot of this is due to Stalin's bringing the country under control. But you also have to remember that this occurred under a immense cost of human loss and suffering. It was not a good time living under Stalin's Russia, and while it was far from a complete "state of terror", it wasn't a utopia either.

There are some great biographies that came out that address these issues. Check out Stephen Kotkin's first volume and the brilliant one by Khlevniuk

The economic foundation of Stalinism was built on murder and enslavement of millions and built of glass. You can't expand that fast. Russia never exhibited real parity with the United States, that is totally unfounded. Their goods were never of the same quality and the living standards were pathetic in comparison. The only time they had real military parity with the United States was in the mid-70s, and that was based on more traditional armaments, not total military power. The importing of the nuclear bomb by the Rosenbergs and Oppenheimers is what caused the cold war. Ironically, the Jews protested the progression of the atomic bomb once the enemy transitioned from the Nazis to the Soviets.

Think about the loss to the Slavic gene pool when you go about killing every single person who has proven themselves on merit. If you're comparing the loss to the gene pool compared to income growth in the 40s then you've lost it. One of the great ironies of history is that Lenin's father entered into the aristocracy based on exemplary service to the tsar in school administration!

The only reason the Russians were successful in WW2 is because they shot anyone who fell back from the front lines with Trotsky's invent of "blocking units". Nothing "good" can be attributed to Stalin and if you're talking about the defeat of the Nazis, there's been a lot of interesting revisionism by world-class historians Manning etc. on how bad the Nazis really were and how much of their reputation was due to Jewish and Soviet propaganda.

Oh yes, the fact that Jews dominate international banking, media, and politics is a conspiracy "theory" attributable to fedora-tippers while it is easily verifiable on Wikipedia.

Meanwhile, the Jewish patron saints Zinoviev, Lenin, and Trotsky and the first meeting of Comintern encouraged socialists worldwide to use existing parliaments as "tribunes for socialist agitation" and to all the while form "secret, underground societies" to achieve socialism worldwide. Take note that this meeting convened in emergency after the failed communist revolutions in Germany led by another Jewish patron saint Rosa Luxembourg and her Jewish cronies.

I'm not. Stalin needs to be understood in his context like anyone else. It's also important to understand why he thinks and acts the way he does. And you can't paint him as an illogically cruel monster if you're going to do that.

I've read the Soviet Experiment by Ronald Grigor Suny which is Oxford University Press textbook. Being from mainstream academia, it is too apologetic for the Soviet Union but no matter your ideology, no historian can escape from the abuses and horror of the Soviet rule. The guy is director of Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies, so you do the math there. As a place to start, it's okay. Don't buy the garbage that Lenin would have somehow been better than Stalin. Stalin is both the logical and spiritual successor of Lenin, no serious Soviet historian can possibly deny this with all of the information made available since the collapse of the Soviet state.

I've read the Gulag Archipelago which is a great book. It will teach you firsthand of the reality of the enslavement of the Russian people and the totalitarianism of Soviet domination. I actually read 1984 during and after reading these two books. You will see the parallels between the Soviet Union and Oceania.

I'm reading Autopsy For an Empire right now by Volkogonov who was a General and eventual director of the Institute of Military History in the Soviet Union. He is an uncompromising voice on Soviet history and had access to all of the secret archives which give him an edge. It's a pretty good overview of the seven leaders. He did biographies of Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin that are very well-reviewed for the meager attention they get.

Besides Gulag, I've had to pick up what is affordable and available to me but all three of these are highly informative. Books are always better than Youtube videos.

However, out of any book I've read in the past year, I'd recommend The Dispossessed Majority. Prophetic and prescient. Must-read for any serious American patriot.

>>61114737
Solzhenitsyn was a great novelist but the death toll he came up with (65+ million) seems rather far-fetched.

>>61116645
Yeah, when life expectancy reached the low 10s in Ukraine during the 1930s, I'm sure it was because of "war".

>>61116380
Thx

Planning on reading the gulag archipelago, but it's so fat. Did you read the full version or abridged?

>>61115502
Because he won the war and Russia needs to maintain some pride of its past in order to preserve some binding agent. When a people have no history, they have no future. But Stalin never had high "approval ratings" during his life and never would have won a democratic election. Not that anything would have been possible. Stalin killed all of his rivals and most of his accomplices including Zinoviev, Kamanev, and Bukharin. He even imprisoned or killed most of his immediate family members!

This guy was totally unfeeling. I've say that Lenin was an antichrist but Stalin was the devil himself.

>>61116741
Isn't it normal though? He hated the place and the system. Can't fault him, but can't take it at face value either.

>>61102888
He ruined the family. Did many of the same bad measures which are ruining families today. He made it so that divorce was easy and beneficial, and the state would look after the family.

Another JIDF thread. Wish Hitler matched Stalin's murder numbers in Jews, then we wouldn't be having these. Fuck off, kikes.

>>61114996
>Malthusian effect
It requires a much much larger proportional loss of life for anything like that to take place. An example would be the rise in living standards after the Black Plague wiped out nearly half of Europe.

>>61115073
The closest that article comes to mentioning anything like that is mention of Soviet support for American withdrawal from Vietnam.
And I'm very critical of some of Bernie's plans.

Most of the Russian Jews were atheists in religion. Lenin was an internationalist, as were Trotsky and Luxemburg. They weren't working for some sort of Jewish elite master plan for Jewish hegemony.

>>61115377
Kolyma definitely wasn't the only gulag camp. Some of the milder ones were the ones I was comparing to US prisons.

>>61117084
Lenin was hardly a Jew. The reason for so many communist Jews is that they were marginalized and seeked revolutionary ideologies.

>>61117084
Nobody claimed they were. That is the single biggest fallacy against the idea of judeo-bolshevism.

There need not be a conspiracy. The jewish involvement in revolutionary causes (and their continued involvement in "progressive" causes today) can be seen as a consequence of their internalized hatred for western civilization.

>>61102888
didn't he kill like a billion christians?

>>61115540
North Korea is so bad also because of recurrent natural disasters, foreign sanctions, and the fact that they lost approximately three-quarters of their largest city so recently that old people remember it.

So let's wrap all things up.
Stalin did
Industrialise Soviet Union making it fully self suficient in all things including car, tv and other industries
Removed iliteracy
Electified the nation
Invested in education and healthcare making it top tier
Created a big and powerfull empire.

>>61115582
Stalin killed millions but I highly doubt his malevolence caused anything like dysgenics.

>>61116842
True, and that was one of the leftovers from the loathsome Russian-hating Jew, Lenin. Eventually, in preparation and recovery of WW2 Stalin actually came to rely and propagandize the family (besides the ones who were torn apart) and Russian nationalism again when it became absolutely necessary. Ironically, Stalin glorified the Great Russian people who had previously been obfuscated in favor of Marxian class determiners. Just like our current overlords, CLASS is what determines behavior, not RACE.

It just points out the inescapable need for tradition and pragmatism no matter which ideological fanatic is in charge of the system.

Japan is a country located atop of a tectonic plate, was reduced to an ash heap and subject to two atomic bombs.

By the end of the 1950s it was back to being one of the wealthiest countries in the world.

North Korea is shit because it's a totalitarian country based on marxist-leninist economic policies. Not because of "natural disasters", lmfao.

The middle and upper classes were heavily targeted by his repressions. Moreover it was the rich peasantry (kulaks) who starved the most.

The stupid and inbred slavo-tatar mongrels who descended from the serfs eventually grew to make up the majority of the russian population. The Tolstoys and the Dostoevskys perished in a mass grave.

1984 and the Archipelag Gulag are both great books, but they didn't quite represent life for everyone under Stalin for 1924-1953.

Where's the source on that life expectancy statistic?

Japan was bombed pretty heavily and two large cities were ruined completely, but keep in mind that after the war they had copious assistance from superpowers in the West for rebuilding.
North Korea hasn't been Marxist Leninist for decades. It's ruled by Juche. And as for natural disasters, look up the droughts and flooding that have occurred there. It's no joke.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor

>According to this study the life expectancy for those born in 1933 sharply fell to 10.8 years for females and to 7.3 years for males and remained abnormally low for 1934 but, as commonly expected for the post-crisis peaked in 1935–36.

>>61117657
Oh absolutely. Save for the few kikes at the top, most bolsheviks were absolute brutes recruited from the criminal elements of society, which would go on orgies of looting and rape.

>>61117553
Source on any of that?

>>61117899
And North Korea didn't receive copious assistance from the USSR and China perhaps?

The reason why North Korea sucks is because of its political system, not droughts. Juche is basically repackaged marxism-leninism.

>>61117951
>Source on any of that?
Open a fucking history book? The great purges didn't exactly target siberian peasants. They targeted the city intelligentsia. As for kulaks dying during collectivization, do you really need a source? Are you historically illiterate (or dishonest, I don't know) to the point that you require a source to back up that statement?

>>61117856
You mean you consider the 170,000 dead Iraqi civilians who were living in peace before you invaded them to have been terrorists?

I wish this meme would stop. Tukhachevsky was a talentless hack and got what was coming to him for single-handedly destroying artillery as a fighting arm of the Red Army.
The rest weren't much better. If you pay attention, you'll notice that most of these dindu nuffins are your stereotypical 1920s commissars who recognize no method other than a gun in whatever they do.

People looking back at history see it differently than those who lived through it. My family fled the union when everyone around them was starving. He will always be remembered as an idiot to us.

Most infrastructure in SU was built from when Stalin got to power. No Jewish banks and no bs Marxism. He definitely knew how to deal with international kikes.

Russia was a force in Europe for centuries before gommunism. It had god tier art and culture and industrialization was already underway. Socialism only derailed its economic development.

>>61119699
>He definitely knew how to deal with international kikes.
He did import a lot of foreign material and expertise at a very high material and human cost (because the only thing USSR could export at the time was grain).
However, he still deserves credit for doing that instead of lining his and his cronies' pockets like every other tinpot dictator would have done.

>>61102888
OY NYET 10 BILLION TAVARESHEY
Seriously though he killed a bunch of his own citizens and communism is terrible.

>>61119887
Are you dumb? CUlture was vlourishing under Stalin. Awesome movies, awesome songs, awesome books. Russia empire had iliterate population living in mud. USA already had New York, Industry, millions of cars by the time of first world war broke up,while illiterate russian peasants were living in shit. Only thanks to Stalin Soviet Union managed to catch up and started competing with the Americans during the cold war.

>>61102888
Without the Allies, he would have gotten rekt by Adolf. Stalin daw the flaws in soviet communism, and used them to time all. So that's what he did. But he didn't have a plan or anything. He was in the right place at the right time, that's all.

>>61120225
>CUlture was vlourishing under Stalin.
That's... kinda debatable. While there certainly were gems like Eisenstein, Ilf and Petrov, Mayakovsky and Tolstoy, social realism was very heavy-handed in its censorship and propaganda really was taken too far. In fact, the entire 30's could be summed up with the words "taken too far". Collectivization, industrialization, counter-espionage, you name it, it's been done and overdone to the point where it started causing harm instead of good.

>>61114996
are you seriously fucking telling me that industrialization, massification of modern medicine, and eradication of illiteracy do not increase the standards of living meaningfully, and all of it was just a magical malthusian effect? even though the USSR retained the standard of living of an industrialized nation long after surpassing the population that existed during the stalin era by well over a hundred fucking million? you're stupid as hell.

>>61117275
yeah, it was definitely their hatred of western civilization that led them to participate in the communist revolution and not the fact the previous government actively murdered them via pogroms, you stupid fucking frog.

Probably not, and I hope not. Not because I'm opposed to the Soviet-style socialism, but because its establishment will once again involve turmoil, uncertainty and, most likely, bloodshed, as all revolutions do. There's been enough of that crap around here lately.

Why do you think that?

Could you please enumerate the reasons?

>>61120225

Old joke: "How was the movie - good or soviet?"

Anyway, Lenin didn't hold his speeches exclusively in front of mud huts. A crucial factor in the revolution were the crowds of people already pouring to the urban centers for industrial jobs, same as it had happened in UK, Germany, France already.

But Soviet industrialization continued on completely different terms - without free competition and access to the global market, its enterprises were wasteful and redundant. They leeched on public subsidy for decades before the painful separation. The weak economic condition of Russia and the former Eastern Bloc is the direct result of that.

>>61102888
France should've been put into Soviet block after the war.
