there's no telling how much or if any repressive apparatuses would be necessary in a world without imperialism though. im optimistic so i would hope for "none"

Evil_Urna posted:NATO is really the only reason why the Soviets were never able to advance further. Without the umbrella of protection that America provided to Europe, you would have lost everything that made you unique and great. NATO kept you safe from the communist hordes. NATO kept the world from descending into an atomic hellfire. lol

both paragraphs are wholly correct. marxism and the national question by dread captain stalin is considered the foundational document on the issue

most "internationalist" critiques of the soviet union either willfully or unknowingly ignore the importance of imperialism in dictating the ussr's options and actions, especially considering the context of the desperate interwar period. it's ahistorical and goes against materialism entirely

for instance it is possible to (correctly) decry the second world war as a conflict between imperialist forces and also acknowledge those forces, up to the last possible moment, uniformly wished for the ussr to be destroyed and for socialism to survive it was necessary to take unsavory precaution against an attack on the unprepared red army

spectralent posted:I thought the soviets betrayed spain because they wanted all their gold? that would be a pretty stupid motive, financially quote:The total weapons bill is quite important in assessing whether or not the Spaniards received fair exchange for their gold. The value of the gold sent to Moscow was approximately $518 million. As we have seen, the gold was converted into hard currency and applied toward the purchase of weapons in Russia and other wartime financing in Paris. In 1937 alone, $256 million was transferred from Moscow to the Republic's Eurobank account. 31 Per our estimate above, at least an additional $250 million or more was spent on Soviet arms over the course of the war. If to that $506 million we add at least $70 million and possibly as much as $155 million in loans which were never repaid, it would appear that Moscow could not have turned a monetary profit on the Spanish Civil War. 32

Now, when I need it most, I can't find it. i'm looking for it now and have come to the conclusion old propaganda posters are extremely bad rear end
