Where the fuck did this guy come from?

Where did he come from cotton eye joe

Legit evil Time traveler

He was a high functioning psychopath who was in the right place at the right time.

Look at this man. That's the face Stalin produces in others.

fuck

...

Nope, Scatman John.

did charles manson cause a bolshevik coup d'etat?

no, but he might have been spooped by the ghost of Stalin.

>mfw I get existential about my position that Lenin was based but Stalin was one of the worst people who have ever lived
What if Lenin was actually just as bad and I'm a terrible person for liking him?

He was just such a smart motherfucker who had the balls to enact social change. I hate spineless politicians who do nothing. Lenin was such a great combination of an idealist who was pragmatic enough to do what he wanted (while simultaneously being based enough to criticize the failures of his policies)

I just wish Russia had been ready for socialism and the Whites hadn't crippled the working class base during the Civil War.

Leninism set the path for Stalinism.

In certain ways, I agree.

I think the Revolution degenerated under Lenin toward one person management and hierarchy, though I don't think the logical conclusion of Leninism is Stalinism.

I think Lenin just did a shitty job of fully considering what would happen once he died.

>leftist
>blames white people for all the world's problems
I am so sick of your race-baiting bullshit. You know Russia is a white country, BOTH SIDES OF THE CIVIL WAR WERE WHITE.

Nice Meme

JUST

>You know Russia is a white country, BOTH SIDES OF THE CIVIL WAR WERE WHITE.
THE TSARIST WHITE ARMY FOUGHT THE COMMUNIST RED ARMY IN THE RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR YOU ILLITERATE /POL/AK FUCK

Holy fuck m8, I know people on this website are dumb but this is like a new tier of b8

Stalin seems like such a terrible Leftist.

Did he genuinely think he was creating socialism and a world without exploitation?

I don't think he was dumb enough to not know what he was doing. I think he just whole heartedly believed that the end justified the means. We'll never really know exactly what was done intentionally and what wasn't.

>This creature softened my heart of stone. She died and with her died my last warm feelings for humanity.
Supposedly said this when his wife died. He also refused to try to get his son back when he was captured in the war. Really he seemed like the sort of hard motherfucker that would carry out all he did because he really believed in its utility. Might also have been that he was always so stony and miserable that he never saw his actions as exploitation, because he'd get no real pleasure from it.

He was trying to reeducate the capitalists and bearers of the old way and just happened to use them as exploitation on the way.

He had a hard life growing up and it just got worse as he grew older it seems. He did all he could for the USSR really. It was all downhill after him.

Stalin was a narcissistic psychopath, he saw the revolution as his opportunity to commit crime without punishment, and ultimately to gain power over others. His only sincere belief was in Stalinism, and Stalinsim was whatever he said it was.

ebic...

kek

That Borat looking mother fucker

Didn't he """""appropriate funds"""" (rob banks) for the party in the early days?

Yes

>Curb Your Enthusiasm Theme begins

You got played moron

>I was only pretending to be retarded
Classicus

OR

Because the revolution was isolated to a shitty semi-industrialised country it was forced to rely on authoritarian measures to

a) defend itself against the world
b) industrialise itself so as not to completely fall apart

Basically the fault need not lie with Lenin or Stalin, they were fucked after the German revolution failed.

>Joseph, my anuysm hurts, why isn't Leon here making things not awful
He didn't really like Stalin, and was grooming Trotsky to be his successor, because Salin was this guy and even Lenin saw the problem with that. Too bad Stalin was also the guy that would put the dear leader down like an old cat when he got the chance.

Was this when they inspected maos turds?

Lenin at least wanted to do good things.

/pol/ was a mistake

You are a mistake, fucking profligate.

Wow, so edgy.

Is falling for obvious bait the new meta bait?
