Incompetent or just edgy?

Intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humour.

Literally what happens when a mobster and thug from the Caucasus becomes head of state.

Not a commie but he wasn't incompetent, he brought extreme and rapid industrialisation to the USSR and picked it up when it was so often chaotic but he obviously was extremely cruel and mismanaged things like the famine in Ukraine

>>3142381
As much as I hate him I have to say that he wasn't incompetent, he was quite smart actualy. He was ruthless, immoral and paranoid, but not stupid

>>3142381

>incompetent

NIGGA WHAT

Stalin was one of the most 'sucessful' leaders to ever life. He is also evil personified. Worse than Hitler and Mengele and Beria together.

Have you read about Stalin purposefully making the anarchists/socislists/communists/republicans lose in Spain? It is pretty much consensus among historians now.

>>3142381
Paranoid.

>>3142428
Haven't heard this before. What did he do to cause them to lose and why?

>the success during the final part of his reign means he didn't do anything wrong (from a pragmatic p.o.v.)

The Soviet army was weakened by his idiotic purges. He was also very slow in reacting to the initial Nazi attack which had catastrophic consequences.
The fact that the Nazis were able to occupy such a large territory and capture so many Soviets is due to his incompetence.

>People were so afraid of Stalin that when he suffered a stroke after a night of heavy drinking nobody went into his room until midday (at which point his maid was the only one brave enough to do so)
>They discovered him on the floor having had a stroke, immobile
>Not one of his ministers or staff dared to do anything about his situation for fear that the one who did would be accused of treason
>Stalin died after 3 or 4 days of not being helped

Edgy.

There is also shit he did that saved the Soviets. Like moving the factories east.

He was a manlet with a faggy voice. No wonder he was so brutal.

>>3142461

Reminder that he had a panic attack and when he got the initial reports of a massive german invasion, he just denied them and hung up and refused to answer his phone for the entire fucking day.

Sad! Why not?

Edge is an incompetence of its own

>>3143184
Any elaboration on this besides "some edgy Chad bullied me in middle school"?

>>3142449
Different flavor/independent commies plus outright anarchists. Better to stay the only game in town. He also repeatedly tried to fuck Mao over.

>>3143188
See: Hitler, Adolf.

>>3142381

He was a psychopath, he didn't give a single shit about "the people" or "the cause", he only cared about one thing: Stalin. As for incompetent, he ruled with hundreds of millions of people for decades with an absolute iron fist, I'd say he was one of the most successful psychopaths of all time.

>>3142428
Spain's lefties were sickos anyway

>>3143202
How was he edgy? Not listening to the generals?

>>3143192
So he want to be the only commie leader in that time?

Spanish Civil War is probably the coolest thing that ever happened.

Did what he had to do for the most part.

>>3143218
Absolutely. Anything that even mildly posed the possibility of a challenge or independence he wanted snuffed out. That's why he kept trying to kill Tito.

>le feudal russia meme
kys, industrialisation begqn after the crimea war in the 1860s. The bolsheviks literally stunted growth. It took til the 1930s for russia to return to pre-1917 output production rates.

>>3143192
Yes but what did he actually do?

And now you've mentioned Mao, so what did Stalin do to Mao?

>>3142381
Why not both?

>>3143245

Psychopaths are not insane.

>>3143318
>it took years to recover from a civil war
Wow that really made me think

He was a sociopath that just didn't give a shit.

There are thousands of people like him in power, not insane enough to crash and burn, but just sane and clever enough to rule over vast swathes of the populace.
