the USSR was a continental sized state, it was not "one guy with a moustache". its leadership represented victorious elements/factions within the revolutionary society and was reflective of it, good and bad. thinking the USSR was great while abhorring what it actually did is a fundamentally stupid position - like I said, legit anticommunism is far more coherent than these idiots.

anti communists always try paint stalin as some hardcore murdering badass just because he wore a sick hat. they dont want to admit they are scared of a manlet nerd with a gay little weenie voice.

Son of Sorrow posted:If you want a much deeper discussion of this, I encourage you to take it to the Marxism thread. But in brief: Trotsky was right imo. But he was such an obnoxious goon about it that he managed to get himself killed. Early Trotskyists saw this not as a political failure on Trotsky's part to learn from but rather an indictment of the Soviet system entirely and Stalin personally as excessively authoritarian. In the decades since, the Trotskyist movement has been an ideological shelter for very annoying contrarians (like Trotsky), which Marxist movements already attract in spades. In my personal experience, a lot of the Trotskyists around where I'm at end up there either because they have an anti-Stalinist view (irrelevant but like Trotsky himself they can't shut up about it), or (more commonly) because they can't hack it in the social circles of other Marxists. they said nobody builds a statue to a critic, trotsky proved otherwise. and the tankies will never forgive him…

Ferrinus posted:the cpc allied with the kmt on two separate occasions, the second time after a disastrous betrayal, and the result was that they liberated china from the foreign invaders and domestic capitalists both. this probably explains why mao praised stalin for his contributions to socialism and the cpc upholds stalin to this day this was being discussed in GiP recently.

I totally and unconditionally support the USSR recovering it's stolen territory from Poland in 1938 in an effort to protect it's citizens, the mostly White Russian and Little Russian people who lived there.

Ferrinus posted:if you're going to pretend that you don't understand why the molotov-ribbentrop pact happened how can you possibly be trusted to discuss the rest of socialist history Yeah, there's no question the Soviet Union made mistakes on Stalin's watch, and they can be worth discussing, but condemning him for Molotov-Ribbentrop, or treating it as anything other than a desperate last resort, tells you someone isn't operating in good faith.
