Karl Barks posted:Stalin was against the collectivization before he was for it. Classic flip flopper, I award him 4 pinnochios yeah thats one reason why the various political coalitions against him failed. initially the left opposition called for the end to the NEP and starting the process of collective industry but stalin and others opposed it. later, when stalin and bukharin were for ending the NEP and the more right leaning bolsheviks like kamenev opposed it, the left opposition and trotsky were reluctant to unite with them because they had been arguing for the industrial strategy that stalin and bukharin laid out years earlier. despite what a lot of people will claim, the issue the left opposition and others had with stalin wasnt that he wanted to build up the russian industrial base or create more egalitarian peasant relations, but that he and the party bureaucracy basically raised the russian CP above all others within the comintern such that the other parties basically served as proxies for russian national interests in their respective nations eventually, and also just the murdering of all the other bolsheviks

Kurnugia posted:Which is why I'm talking about it with you, communists, and not reactionaries. It doesn't matter what Stalin did in agrarian Russia in the early 20th century. The choices he made were a product of his material conditions. The next revolution will (hopefully) include a 21st century American proletariat, with its own set of challenges and material conditions to work with. Passing judgment on failed socialist experiments is useless, criticizing ongoing ones that you don't belong to and have no skin involved with is counter-rev. Also it's pointless to preconfigure the nature of our future revolution, as we don't know what we'll have to work with at the time as far as support (whether domestic or international), infrastructure, and materials. History is a useful lens to examine the nature of potential obstacles that might arise but you'd be a fool to lean hard into planning for all of them. Theory is a useful set of tools and language to communicate the nature of our world to people, but it's not praxis. All that literally matters right now is helping to facilitate the rise of class consciousness by any means necessary. That is the only metric by which "poo poo gets kicked off".

No, I’m pretty sure if we just keep relitigating the Soviet Union and the GLF we’ll eventually come to a perfect morally acceptable praxis that everyone will agree with.

has anyone wrote chumpsky yet? anyway imo if you become a revolutionary in any way you have to accept that you will most likely die get exiled, betrayed, lose your family and make a very small contribution if any at all and still do it because as chris hedges calls it you have to follow the sublime madness https://www.truthdig.com/articles/a-time-for-sublime-madness/
