great article, comrade.

judging a character by today's standards is not only bad faith but a terrible argument.

While I'm not entire sure whether such claim is true or not (or even if Stalin had any say in that), you have to understand that material conditions back then were much different from today's.

Does this "redeem" the CPSU in this regard? Not really, no, they should be criticized, but to claim Stalin was a terrible man because of this one policy (that he either had no say in or had no real power to change if he wanted to) is just bad faith. Stalin was not the king or god emperor of the USSR.

Correct. Also, the 100m number is literally fake. IIRC, it can be traced back to that shitty piece of CIA propaganda "the black book of communism".

That number factors in deaths that have nothing to do with Socialism, such as:

• Nazis killed in WW2;

• People that died of famines that weren't even caused by Socialism (multiplied by a certain number because they could've had children) and old age (comrade grim reaper, Joseph Stalin's 2nd in command!!!!!!!!!);

• Soviet Union: Everyone that died due to the famine after the Russian Civil War + those who died during the Siege of Leningrad and during WW2.

• Execution of Nazi collaborators and chaos instigators;

• Blatantly making up a few million deaths just to get to the 100 million mark (iirc it was between 5m-15m);

• China: The few famines that happened throughout the history of the PRC (China used to have famines once every few years for millennia until the Communists took over);

I'm sure other comrades can give a much more detailed answer, but the 100 million claim is insane (and I'm pretty even historians, Marxist or not, disregard it).

Perfect comment, comrade. I think this comment perfectly nails the Marxist-Leninist stance on Modern Russia.

BABE WAKE UP LAOS MENTIONED

good luck ❤️

This is what they don't get, likely from exposure to too much media brainrot. No sane communist could ever truly support Putin unconditionally, it's just that in the current state of things, Putin poses a threat to the Imperialists (and that's a good thing).

Then actually try to refute this instead of attacking us, you clown.

One thing is to come here and actually provide sources, the other is to be a brainwashed radlib who gets their news from the brainworms in their brain and come here to call us out on our "propaganda" without even making an effort to refute anything... Wonder why that is.

Has red and a few stars in its flag

Built on slavery and terrorism

Has terrorized the entire world for years

Its imperialism has destroyed the lives of millions (if not billions) of people

Be the USA
