State capitalism is based on the concept that the state either owns or controls the capital. That's it. It does not imply the private ownership and control of capital of capitalism. The word capitalism is simply being used to juxtapose the concept of capital in reference to the state. It basically just means the state is one big corporation.

Why is it so rare for great men to create solid institutions in a way such that their new empire won't implode the moment they get a less brilliant leader?

The soviets were pretty chill with the agreement in place, they had no motivation to really attack germany, they were getting that easy land and working on industry, if they were preparing to attack then why did they get so monumentally destroyed for so long?

>>1548121
So if Hitler knew the Soviets had far more manpower than him, why the fuck did he attack? He already had lebensraum. He could've at least contacted the Japanese for an eastern invasion too, or even have made an anti soviet alliance with Britain
