Anyone who's ever cracked a history book knows Stalin was one of the most incompetent failures in military history.

Too busy writing "Hitler + Stalin 4 ever!" in his diary to mount a defense during the Nazi invasion, telling his advisers that the invasion was "Fake News because Dolfykins would never do that to his Joeybear!"

Then kept part of it at gun point for 70 years and then had his nation act antagonistic as shit for no reason against a power that it could've worked with to bring peace to the world.

There's a joke in my country that the Soviets are masters of solving problems that they caused themselves. USSR win the war, yet the war was actually caused by Soviet cooperation with Nazi Germany in dismembering Central Europe.

...

to destroy hundreds

He didn't.

Khruschev would, if Soviet command weren't such a cucks and didn't think that amerimutts are human, so we should be humanist to it.

Gonna have to agree

To kill millions

this Veeky Forums meme went too far, while the USSR was groing its GDP by unprecedented growth rates in recordeed history in the 1930s, US was having the biggest unemployment and poverty rates

from obesity

this

stalin's purges and retardedness were one of the reason the soviets were getting btfo during the opening stages of Barbarossa

once he let other people decide for him they suddenly started winning

In planned economy GDP is literally just a number, not something that gives any picture of economic reality.

He ruined socialism for America for at least 100 years.

Socialism is the very definition of failure.

To fill pillions

Oh that's important alright. Too bad the USSR at it's height was only 57% the GNP of the US in 1974.

this post made my day.

Awful man but he did that

I would still have preferred living in the US at the time.

He was aware of the whole hitler thing, I was more talking about how the purges crippled the red army during the winter war and to a lesser extent during the opening months of barbarosa, and most of the times he actually meddled in the affairs of his generals his actions were met with failure (like in the counteroffensive after the sixth army was annihilated or after moscow had been sucessfully defended, for example)

I wonder what would have happened had Tukachevsky not been executed and had been allowed to take over development of the Red Army. The Soviets would have a better tank corps and doctrines than the Germans and Barbarossa probably wouldn't have gotten nearly as far as it did.

> saved the world by exposing Communism
Well that's half the job done so thanks Uncle Joe, now we just have to get rid of the cultural marxists + facists and we can have true freedom for the world.

From a purely quantitative perspective, has there been anyone who saved more lives than this guy? 100 million people were saved from execution and slavery.

Maybe the inventor of penicillin or some other health-care breakthrough? otherwise I don't think so

>Anyone who's ever cracked a history book knows Stalin was one of the most incompetent failures in military history.
British intelligence was predicting the USSR would last 4 weeks max in the face of Barbarossa.

4 weeks turned into 4 months.

4 months turned into a year.

The rest is history.

>cultural marxists

> neo-liberal
Are you saying there aren't any marxists that are trying to push marxism by changing our culture?

It's a historically documented fact.

British """"""""""Intelligence"""""""""" also didn't predict the Italians to be hilarious failures and the Germans to be hyper-autists.

>he thinks culture can be changed by individuals
One of the core tenets of Marxism is economic determinism. Culture arises from the economic and material conditions of society. How, then, are "Marxists" going to change culture when they believe that culture is determined by the economic conditions or society?
Provide those documents then.

it's very funny as guys like him end up killing his people
I do it because I love you...

There is a clear transition when the gradualists listed their goals, policies and descriptions of the broader movement from quite loud, revolutionary, economically focused, focused on class. Over the modern decades that has shifted to a majority cultural focus, and away from class/economics and into the areas of identity etc that we see today. These being a large part of the true marxists in the world still know all of the history and the main basis for their ideology but their methods and subjects have clearly changed by their own writings to eachother and to those they have attempted to influence.

A large indicator of this is in one of their books that documents the schism that came from the reveal of Soviet attrocities, something like 1/3 left and another 1/3 abandoned revolutionary socialism/communism, instead focussing on the middleground we see today but with a large emphasis on changing the culture, as opposed to just forcing policy. Obviously it's not black and white though but I think the tone difference over the decades is quite clear.

> core tenets of Marxism is economic determinism.
That doesn't mean they haven't actively sought to influence the culture in regards to prodding and accelerating the awakening of class consciousness and whatever other category. Their determinism is merely broadened and their anger expanded.

They saved the world.

Tankfags blown the fuck out

What's some shit the USSR invented?

Ilizarov apparatus. It saved thousands and thousands of manlets across the world.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Soviet_inventions

but this is done by embracing the chaos of free/open market capitalism.

To put it another way, what is called "Cultural Marxism" is simply a recognition of the transformative nature of capitalism by people who don't understand how capitalism effects culture, nor how futile it is to attempt to "stop the tide". Rather than see the potential positives that might emerge, they instead only focus on the negatives..

I'll grant you that many "left-wingers" are too sentimental about "not-european-or-east-asian"-cultures/ethnicities.

Fortunately I think that the Muslim world is going to experience some form of sexual revolution. Or at least we're going to get some sense that Islamic migrants/immigrants in the US and Europe are secularizing and/or becoming whores/sluts and faggots/cucks like the native population.

By ruining communism and making it a turn-off for most of the world.

I thought cultural marxism was a meme.
Then my history professor described cultural marxism in all but name, tracing the origins of modern social justice to marxism, citing the Frankfurt School (which I thought was something invented by conspiracy theorists) and concluding with "Marx had some great ideas, but we can take them further." Marx's ideas were focused solely on wealth, but they wanted to apply marxist ideas to the social fabric, too... culture.
Cultural Marxism, if you will.
Pic related. It's the face I made when I realized that nothing made sense anymore, and I would never again be able to take any information at face value.

Underrated

I mean come on guys, how bad can Stalin be? The guy killed 50 million communists.

>Fortunately I think that the Muslim world is going to experience some form of sexual revolution.
It might actually be starting right now. A rape and murder of a little girl in Pakistan has started a nationwide conversation there about violence towards women.

>For you see Ivan, be being squishy and fleshy you are not your typical tank armor. You are filled with liquids, and liquids absorb blows so well!

In fairness most people, even those you would attribute social marxism to, don't know how it works. See

No he didn't. He was one of the reasons why Germany did so much damage in eastern europe, both due to his cooperation with them and also because of the incompetent handling of his own military. Germany would have lost without the Soviets being involved anyway, it just would have taken a few more years.

>Germany would have lost without the Soviets being involved
>implying any country besides Russia would sacrifice few millions of people in war against Germany
Sick meme dude. I can already see USA and Britain sending millions and millions of troops in 1939 and France along with rest of Europe not surrendering right away...

came here to type this

A lot of ideologies stem from marxism, evevn anti marxist ideologies like neoconservatism. An example would be that Irving kristol was a former Trotskyite but realised it would be inconvinent to push marxism so he adopted things like free trade and capitalism while holding on to one world government and open boarders.
