Imbecilic. marxists.org is like the best site on the internet precisely because it eschews UX fads and prioritizes reliability, permanence. Babies want everything to look like a Democrat campaign site with big fluffy letters.

I hate that post.

when I was reinstalling everything because of my very smart computer choices, I observed that all the installs for software I would describe as "good" - does the job and well, effectively uses resources, broad cross comparability and functionality etc - your 7zip style software - all had websites that looked like they came out of 2002. to contrast all the terrible software - slow, gigantic ( icue was north of a gigabyte and literally all it does is run LEDs lol), insanely resource heavy for what it accomplishes and generally limited to extremely proprietary function - had websites that clearly cost tens of thousands of dollars with a million animation scrolls and cute frame tricks etc etc.

no no, im sure there a type system or edge distribution network that can fix this. it might seem scary and complicated but, when you consider the value i deliver, my rates are very reasonable.

I’ve been reading Moshe Lenin’s The Soviet Century and he’s been praising Lenin and makes it out like if only Lenin didn’t die so early Soviet would be something else completely. is that a common, mainstream view?

I don't think its a question dealt with enough for there to be a mainstream view. But it's safe to say, at bare minimum, that Trotskyists and Stalinists would probably come to different conclusions about the matter.

I think Lenin was a lot more averse to building a cult of personality than Stalin was, at the very least.

Lenin really didn't want Stalin to succeed him and a lot of historians feel that he was, uh, not the best man for the job. The history of the USSR would certainly be very different without Stalin running it for 30 of its 69 years of existence.

i'm finding this quite easy, i guess in part because i'm a fast type but also because i have a coherent mental model of the world
both the idea that stalin tried to build a cult of personality and that lenin specifically didn't want stalin to succeed him aren't well supported. the first in particular is wildly ahistorical

i also think stalin was a better writer, although trotsky was certainly snappier and having more fun with it

it's a well developed skill among trotskyists because they naturally get pushed into it when around any other marxists and to their credit they do go outside and talk to people a lot

Whatever the admirable personal qualities of forums user apropos of nothing we must adhere to the dictum that the only good trotskyist is a permabanned trotskyist, and rejoice at their absence.
