Taken in Donetsk in 1932-33, this photograph shows a “kulak” woman and her small child being evicted from their home in winter, dispossessed of everything but a small wagonload of their belongings pulled by hand behind them. Photo by Marko Zhelizniak.

This is the people tankies would want you to believe had the Marie Antoinette level of luxury. I wonder how many carts like those would be required to transport everything an average western tankie owns.

I was in a stealth game and clearing a compound. I triggered an alarm, and got ambushed by a robot who was rapping about how he and his brethren once beat up Joseph Stalin.

Howard: Should war come, Mr. Stalin, where is it most likely to break out? Where are the war clouds the most menacing, in the East or in the West?

Stalin: In my opinion there are two seats of war danger. The first is in the Far East, in the zone of Japan. I have in mind the numerous statements made by Japanese military men containing threats against other powers. The second seat is in the zone of Germany. It is hard to say which is the most menacing, but both exist and are active. Compared with these two principal seats of war danger, the Italian-Abyssinian war is an episode. At present, the Far Eastern seat of danger reveals the greatest activity. However, the centre of this danger may shift to Europe. This is indicated, for example, by the interview which Herr Hitler recently gave to a French newspaper. In this interview Hitler seems to have tried to say peaceful things, but he sprinkled his “peacefulness” so plentifully with threats against both France and the Soviet Union that nothing remained of his “peacefulness.” You see, even when Herr Hitler wants to speak of peace he cannot avoid uttering threats. This is symptomatic.

Howard: What situation or condition, in your opinion, furnishes the chief war menace today?

Stalin: Capitalism.

Howard: In which specific manifestation of capitalism?

Stalin: Its imperialist, usurpatory manifestation.

You remember how the first World War arose. It arose out of the desire to re-divide the world. Today we have the same background. There are capitalist states which consider that they were cheated in the previous redistribution of spheres of influence, territories, sources of raw materials, markets, etc., and which would want another redivision that would be in their favour. Capitalism, in its imperialist phase, is a system which considers war to be a legitimate instrument for settling international disputes, a legal method in fact, if not in law.

Howard: May there not be an element of danger in the genuine fear existent in what you term “capitalistic countries,” of an intent on the part of the Soviet Union to force its political theories on other nations?

Stalin: There is no justification whatever for such fears. If you think that Soviet people want to change the face of surrounding states, and by forcible means at that, you are entirely mistaken. Of course, Soviet people would like to see the face of surrounding states changed, but that is the business of the surrounding states. I fail to see what danger the surrounding states can perceive in the ideas of the Soviet people if these states are really sitting firmly in the saddle.

Howard: Does this, your statement, mean that the Soviet Union has to any degree abandoned its plans and intentions for bringing about world revolution?

Stalin: We never had such plans and intentions.

Howard: You appreciate, no doubt, Mr. Stalin, that much of the world has long entertained a different impression.

Stalin: This is the product of a misunderstanding.

Howard: A tragic misunderstanding?

Stalin: No, a comical one. Or, perhaps, tragicomic.

You see, we Marxists believe that a revolution will also take place in other countries. But it will take place only when the revolutionaries in those countries think it possible, or necessary. The export of revolution is nonsense. Every country will make its own revolution if it wants to, and if it does not want to, there will be no revolution. For example, our country wanted to make a revolution and made it, and now we are building a new, classless society.

But to assert that we want to make a revolution in other countries, to interfere in their lives, means saying what is untrue, and what we have never advocated.

Lenin: death to imperialism. anyway we're going to invade a bunch of these neighboring countries. overthrow their governments regardless of if they're also socialist or communist and replace them with ones controlled by us, and then enforce our ideas for how society should run after we annex them directly into our federation of equals of which Russia should clearly have the most power.

I'm not sure which is worse:

Lenin: "We are a movement dedicated to anti-imperialism."

Baltic States and Belarus: "We would prefer not to ruled directly from Moscow."

Lenin: "We must invade them for being insufficiently servile."

***

Stalin: "I'm going to exterminate a great deal of people."

Most everyone else: "That's awful."

Sheila Fitzpatrick: "But did you think of the people who benefitted from that extermination?"

After the Soviet invasion and occupation of eastern Poland at the start of the Second World War, hundreds of thousands of Polish citizens were deported to camps, collective farms, exile villages and various outposts of the gulag deep in the USSR from February 1940 to June 1941. There were four waves of mass deportations from the Soviet-occupied Polish territories. The first major operation began on 10th February 1940. The second wave began on 13th April 1940. The third wave took place betwen June and July 1940. The fourth wave occurred in June 1941. Tens of thousands of Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians were also deported at the same time. Most of the deportees were women and children….

🇷🇺 🚨 COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION OPENS NEW STALIN CENTER

The Stalin Center was opened in Barnaul by the Communists of Russia, with plans to create a non-profit organization of the same name.

“A piece of Stalin lives in each of us, especially in those who fight for justice, for a better life,” said deputy of the regional assembly Sergei Matasov.

This is a post that isn’t about Jewish affairs, but for Tankies and communists.

Communism died in 1924 when Joseph Stalin came to power. It died when Stalin began his reign of terror against the Soviet people.

Had Stalin not have come to power, the Soviet Union would’ve been a slightly less authoritarian, and more socially liberal country. Stalin banned many things that made the Soviet Union ahead of its time socially, all to strengthen his iron fists on the Bolshevik party and created an idiosyncratic, totalitarian and Orwellian regime.

Tankies should not by any means be praising Stalin and the Soviet regime of the 30s and 40s, not just because of how many people it killed, but because it further drifted away from the founding principles of the Soviet Union and communism as a whole, and had more in common with Nazi Germany by the time of the invasion of Poland then it did any future communist state.

Tankies praising Stalin, a genocidal maniac who distorted the theories of communism and pushed the Soviet Union away from its founding principles, is incredibly ironic. Tankies might as well praise Hitler for his policies, because there really isn’t much of a difference.

Also there are far more interesting Soviet political figures of the time with far better ideology to be praising instead.
