Raskolnikov38 posted:I believe the Stalin was necessary take focuses on him being the only possible soviet leader that would have industrialized the union to the point needed for the war. yeah and if not stalin the man per se, the idea of the fully industrialized war machine totally controlled by the state. does anyone here think the US could have relocated every factory in the midwest to utah in the event of a successful invasion of the whole eastern seaboard, and then win the war?

it's weird to me that east germany is simultaneously considered totally looted in 1945 with heavy industry shipped east while also being, along with bulgaria, the shining examples of 20th century communism. i'd like to read something on this material basis, including poland's insistence on war indemnities which were pressured into cancellation by the ussr

reading on henry lane wilson's wiki page and i came across this quirk:quote:Wilson served in the U.S. Foreign Service during the presidencies of William McKinley (1897–1901), Theodore Roosevelt (1901–1909), and William Howard Taft (1909–1913), and briefly under Woodrow Wilson. He was appointed Minister to Chile in 1897, remaining in that capacity until 1904, when he was made Minister to Belgium, serving in Brussels during the height of the Congo Free State controversy. was there some sort of reorganization of the state department going on at this time?

i was going over mayor la guardia's wiki when i came across the time he handed a $100,000 check to fascist italy to support the invasion of ethiopia. the citations led to a couple absolutely fascinating articles https://web.archive.org/web/20210612110554/https://lucid.substack.com/p/when-harlem-and-little-italy-clashed https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/08/03/when-fascist-aggression-ethiopia-sparked-movement-black-solidarity/

gradenko_2000 posted:around 32:00 of episode 10.84 - The End of the World quote:At least as many British, French and American leaders liked and supported the idea of the Soviet socialist republics as they appeared in 1917 and 1918, certainly they much preferred the socialist reds to the reactionary whites, who no doubt intended to restore barbarous absolutism. well this is outright false, lol otherwise, i do agree that western intervention was somewhat halfhearted compared to war investment just a year or two prior. the numbers of troops committed are barely comparable edit lmao

Dreylad posted:Part of the halfhearted effort was the fact that domestic labour tensions were at an all-time high and trying to get soldiers who had just fought in WW1 to go invade Russia in the winter went about as well as you expected. frankly according to his worldview churchill was correct to want increased intervention, though you're right that the domestic politics of members of a potential larger coalition were prohibitive in the US, even during the first red scare, both parties were not amenable to seiging moscow i'm sure

vyelkin posted:this was certainly a factor in lack of popular support for the Whites. Not every Russian wanted the Bolsheviks to run the country, but they were offering popular things like land reform, or, more realistically, legitimizing the ad hoc land reform the peasants had already done by themselves, while the Whites offered things like "we take your land back and give it back to the landlords that you hate" and "we restore the monarchy who you hate" and those weren't exactly winning messages. wh...where was the moderate opposition???

That would cause a revolution. Our people would not permit it.”10
