Why did no one kill Stalin? Everyone must have hated him but

He had everyone who he thought that could do it shot or sent far away.

>>2870817
All the alternatives were worse

Also he was based

It was tried.

>>2870817
Stalin took special care in taking out literally anyone that might have had the potential of such things. If someone managed to survive the purges they probably were already fanatically loyal to Stalin and/or were too scared to commit such things in fear retaliation to him and his family. On top of that Stalin's cult of personality made it so that people couldn't really think of anyone else leading the country than old uncle Joseph. Despite this, there were still some attempts at his life as >>2870915 said. I remember some red army soldier tried to shoot Stalin in 1942 and a German operation to send a POW in Moscow to take Stalin out but those failed obviously.

>>2870826
A fucking hobo killed Franz Ferdinand, all they had to do was give a random guy a pistol and he'd be proclaimed tsar.

>>2871089

Unlike Franz Ferdinand, Stalin barely ever showed himself in public. And if he did, it was at maximum security.

For God's sake, despite his egocentrism, Stalin refused to lead the Victory parade of 1945. It was led by Zhukov instead with Stalin watching at safe distance.

A lot of people (especially in his inner circle) were pretty fucking devoted to him, and the ones that weren't devoted to him he had killed/imprisoned/their wives imprisoned.
Also it's pretty god damned likely that it was Beria who killed him, so there's that.

State capitalism is where the state does all the factory running, instead of capitalists. Socialism, by definition, is where the workers do all the factory running.

>>2870817
Same reason people don't kill other dictators. They're brainwashed to respect them and they have little privacy or secrecy and any hint of going against their leader gets them killed. It is thought though that he may have been poisoned in 53.

>>2872995
>the workers do all the factory running.
Wouldn't this inevitably lead to some workers becoming the leaders and giving themselves increased powers and wages in exchange for the responsibility of running the factory?

>>2873015
How would they do that if their position in the factory depends on the support of those under them? They could be "physically removed" as they say. Doesn't even need to be that extreme though, they could easily just stop going to work or stop the abusive workers from coming to work.

>>2872570
He died aged 74. It's perfectly likely that he simply died of natural causes.

>>2873021
Perhaps the workers would eventually realize that only a handful of them are intelligent/experienced enough to actually run the factory and would promote them to positions in which they would run the factory.

>>2872813

>>2873026
Right. Leave it to the workers to decide how to organize their workplace. A person should have a say in the decisions that affect them.

>>2873031
Beria was falling out of favor and was probably in line to be purged along with the rest of the remainders of the old guard (like Molotov). He had already been removed from the head of NKVD and was no longer needed for the atomic bomb project AND a lot of the soviet leadership hated his fucking guts (rightfully so).
Beria was probably doomed either way, but by killing the fuck he gave himself a chance.
This is of course assuming that Beria wasn't just claiming credit for circumstance which would not be out of character for him.

>>2871089
The fact Franz Ferdinand was shot was a bit of a fluke (the rest of the assassins/the original polot failed and Princip happened to run into the Archduke's car after)

also, the fact it happened in an occupied region and...fucking Austria-Hungary.

On the other hand, you have a leader so paranoid he rarely did public appearance (Franz Ferdinand was in a drop-top car in the middle of a city ffs!), purged everyone remotely opposed to him, and built a police state that only North Korea can rival

>>2872639

Why are employee-owned companies present in free markets, but manager-owned companies banned in socialist environments?

Why is it that in a "capitalist country" like the USA, the Amish are allowed to live peacefully in their communes, but in socialist countries, private ownership, or in some cases, the use of money, banned?

Why is it that only when private ownership is allowed to thrive in "special economic zones" that these socialist economies actually work?

>>2872469
>Soviets: loyalty or i'll fucken kill you
>NKorea: raised from birth to adore their leader as a supernatural being of cosmic superiority, the highest achievement would be to die for Dear Leader
You might want to read that last one again, the first one is comprehensible to a westerner, but the second seems a bit outlandish or extreme.
It's 100% true, there is indoctrination from the ground up, in the same way USA citizens only really learn their history, their geography, NKoreans only learn and hear about Dear Leader, all day every day. Not even a failed state, a death cult owned by a single family.
The people in that picture are sincere.
1984 was a good book, but NK made it work, putting down rebellions with weapons is primitive western shit, removing the possibility of thinking of dissent is pro-tier Asian.

Stalin only made nine public appearances between 1939 and 1953, not counting the high-security meetings with allied leaders

>>2873269
>Why is it that in a "capitalist country" like the USA, the Amish are allowed to live peacefully in their communes, but in socialist countries, private ownership, or in some cases, the use of money, banned?
Because in the USA the Amish attract few converts and are in no way a standing indictment of the prevailing system. If they were, or if they achieved wealth or influence, they'd be WACO'd by DEA agents.
Pretty much the same for the opposite case, successful alternatives are corrosive to the powers that be.
Socialist economies have to fight sanctions and embargoes as they face the same pressures on a global scale.
Strangely, the USA made Iraq into a de-facto socialist country with it's trade restrictions and punitive measures against anyone who traded with them. Still managed to spend 1.1 billion arming Hussein though.
Be rich and powerful, crush others and say they deserved it for being essentially inferior, same old same old.

>>2873322
>they'd be WACO'd by DEA agents.

No they wouldn't.

>>2873322
I guess you're right though, communist countries have to fight sanctions in the world market. But so does every country.
The point is, capitalism+state intervention is a shit show a la USSR, by your admittance.
But communism+state intervention fails in the same way.
So the best we can do in this discussion is hypothesize a world where states don't intervene and see what we have fundamentally.

Under capitalism, we have individuals negotiating trade on their own terms.
Under communism, it's forcibly arbitrated.

>>2870817
He was paranoid as fuck. The only people he was willing to surround himself with were total sycophants who would never dream of backstabbing him, with the occasional sadist who he tolerated because he was too good at his job to kill (e.g., Beria). He very rarely made public appearances, and only then under tight security. If there were dissidents who managed to avoid the NKVD/MVD, they would probably be sold out by others, either out of fear of persecution by association or hopes of getting on Stalin's good side.

>>2873320

Stalin was mostly a threat to the bureaucratic elite. While he did send millions of normal people to prison camps, most common Soviet citizens also identified him with industrialization and, later, defense from the German onslaught. While Stalin was objectively a brutal killer, his constituents and their contemporary descendants take a far more nuanced view of his career than Westerners.

Did everyone in Stalin's circle secretly hate him too? I would think the loyalists would be angry watching Beria gloat about murdering their God Emperor.

He effectively killed himself by putting so much fear into his guards that when he finally had a stroke nobody went to check on him, because he didn't want to be disturbed

Stalin simply removed all the intelligentsia and party elites/ideologues who hated his guts for being an ordinary "Russian" once he was in the position to appoint people in the party. And who did he appoint in their place? Ordinary, poor people without education like himself who only wanted a decent standard of living. Stalin gave that to people and they would be fiercely devoted to him in the party. Ideologically straight bolsheviks were the last thing you'd find after Stalin was done.

Stalin wasn't responsible for any genocide. The Holodomor was exacerbated by political factors, but not man-made.

Everyone loved him because he was a good guy.

>>2876663
Adding to that, the gulag worked as an exacerbated prison, and only a bit more than a quarter of prisoners were politically motivated (leading to 4 million detained), and aprox. 800K were murdered, while 600K starved to death (most of them in the absolutely terrible years of 37-38).

The number of prisoners in Gulag total was 2 million on a regular basis. These numbers contrarrest in themselves the images of pure profanity that are fed regularly about the places. This is if the NKVD secret archives, analized by V. Kemskov are to be believed, which I personally do, given that the URSS was amongst all a bureocratic hellhole.

The moral conclusions from this data are up to you. I personally find it horrific.

This is true, but it leaves out one of the reasons, which is that, whenever the Soviet government under Stalin did unpopular things, people other than Stalin took the fall for it. Kaganovich got the destruction of the Moscow Cathedral, Budyenniy was blamed for Barbarossa, and Voroshilov blamed for how many were lost in the Winter War. Yes, I'm sure everyone knew Stalin ran the government, but a lot of Stalin loyalists were willing to take the fall for him when his plans fell through.

The collective farms were less efficient you fucking retard. And the reason Homodomor is considered a genocide is because the Russians were exporting grain during a famine and allocating their foodstuffs to deliberately starve the citizens of specific Soviet Republics. Like the Ukraine. Because it was full of anti-russian nationalists. The also restricted movement to keep the starving farmers on their land, and denied aid from entering the affected regions. The famine wouldn't have been half as bad if it wasn't for the Marxists.

The fact that no regular civilian ever tried to kill Stalin is proof that he wasn't the cartoon villain (((they))) say he is.

Terror is never enough to maintain power in any society. Stalin's most evident personality traits, according to his contemporaries, was his humility.

Here is Stalin's bodyguard talking about Stalin's personality, filmed in the post-Soviet era, when he had no reason to fear Stalin or the Soviet Union.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bcmGnygysU

Legendary sci-fi writer H.G. Wells after interviewing Stalin:

>“I have never met a man more candid, fair and honest, and to these qualities it is, and to nothing occult and sinister, that he owes his tremendous undisputed ascendency in Russia. I had thought before I saw him that he might be where he was because men were afraid of him, but I realize that he owes his position to the fact that no one is afraid of him and everybody trusts him.”

https://mltheory.wordpress.com/2015/02/23/h-g-wells-on-joseph-stalin/

4. Spies, saboteurs, wreckers who wanted to retard the Soviet Union's growth

Stalin willfully ignored intelligence from both the allies and his own spies that informed him of the German invasion months in advance. He was more conference about loyality and "bonapartists" in the red army that he executed his generals and forced his commisar lackies to keep tabs on the military. Even as the Germans invaded he forbade his troops from defending themselves because he was convinced it was "a pro war German provocatuer" and not the actual German military. I agree that a Russo-German Alliance would have been unstoppable, but had literally anyone else been the leader of the Soviet union I doubt eleven million Russian troops would have perished in the war.

They wouldn't have perished if Hitler had treated them Humanely.

I hope you are not using western liberal regimes as a bar for what you consider to be "totalitarian".

>>2881692
Every society is brutal and totalitarian for those who aren't wealthy

Zhdanov was a chronic alcoholic who drank himself to death. He drank so bad even Stalin yelled at him over it.

As for Vosneysensky he was the victim of Beria and Malenkov, neither of whom were Jewish

Course this is a DA J0000Z post so I doubt you care about real history

>Why did no one kill Stalin?
Because the vast majority of people are too chickenshit to do anything on their own.

The only people who get assassinated are those who are the subject of a coup (Caesar) or some random nutter (Kennedy). Stalin had both those types on lockdown and defanged.

In 1928, the local OGPU arrested a group of engineers (including Peter Palchinsky, Nikolai von Meck and A. F. Velichko)[4] in the North Caucasus town of Shakhty, accusing them of conspiring with former owners of coal mines (living abroad and barred from the Soviet Union since the Revolution) to sabotage the Soviet economy. The architect of these arrests and interrogations was Efim Georgievich Evdokimov. Technically retired from the OGPU in 1931, he would later lead a secret police team within the NKVD itself.

The Shakhty trials marked the beginning of a long series of accusations against class enemies within the Soviet Union, and was to become a hallmark of the Great Purge of the 1930s. On March 10, 1928, in response to the arrests, Pravda announced that the bourgeoisie were using sabotage as a method of class struggle[citation needed]. Joseph Stalin mentioned a month later that the Shakhty arrests proved that class struggle was intensifying as the Soviet Union moved closer to socialism[citation needed].

Lol life expentency dropped significantly in the years after the fall of the USSR. Free markets are a myth buddy. Like they don't exist anywhere, and less regulated markets (e.g. us healthcare) underperform regulated ones (e.g. healthcare in every other industrialized nation's). Read a book.

You're telling me all those people fleeing North Korea (including the 30,000 that fled in this year alone) are actually spies?

Almost everything we see coming out of that country is state propaganda. There are definitely many who are truly loyal, but we don't know how many are for sure.

When the state TV news lady says cry, you fuckin' cry.

>Free markets are a myth buddy

dumbest statement ever

>>2882498
Fucking obviously.

Beria was a Stalin loyalist until the day Khrushchev and Malenkov ordered his execution. The post referenced the closeness of ethnic Georgians like Beria to Stalin while also suggesting Stalin was killed by a non-Georgian.

There's nothing worse than people who know a tiny bit about a subject and think they're experts.
