Of course, Stalin had the added advantage of being able to permanently dispose of the second category at periodic junctures, which Trump has not quite yet managed.

Takže jejich cosplay filmu Ztratili jsme Stalina před čtyřmi roky obdržel sequel, kde se Stalin probere a zachrání jim zadek.

Žalobci: Prověřování hradních kauz ztroskotalo na Zemanově imunitě - Seznam Zprávy
Hradní kauzy Vratislava Mynáře museli detektivové odložit, protože Miloše Zemana, který vypovídal na jeho obranu, chrání imunita. Za činy při výkonu funkce ho podle Ústavy nelze trestat, píší žalobci ...

It makes no sense that rising stars in the party kept assuming they alone would retain Stalin's loyalty, until you realize Stalin was selecting them for advancement specifically because they were foolish enough to think that.

Stalin’s entire rise to power is quite Trumpian. Just a series of erstwhile allies who each thought they had the better end of the bargain and were using him for their own ends, and not one of them was correct. At the precise moment it was most opportune to stab, Stalin did. And that kept working!

Have you tried Craiyon? It's pretty uninhibited. I did Trump as the child of Robespierre and Stalin on it.

but rather, lenin is able to *create* the red guards precisely because he has already won these battles for mass opinion and elite opinion. stalin comes to petrograd with a typewriter and the clothes on his back--not a gun and a bomb. the armed cadres come *after*

working through kotkin's STALIN and it strikes me how much of the russian revolution seems to embody the inside/outside model of social change--the ability of a small group of elites with a plan (leninists) to leverage a mass culture of unrest and socialism

Likewise, the concept of “Two Main Blows” which Rokossovsky and Stalin (probably) argued about in May 1944 took several iterations of planning, consultation with commanders, and combat experience from February-May ‘44. Athena very much did *not* emerge from Zeus ‘ head fully formed.

What are you even talking about my dude, are you confusing communists with democratic socialists? The people Stalin famously called "the left wing of fascism"? Because democratic socialists are *not* communists, and in fact we are bitter enemies

I have been trying to decide which men in history most remind me of Trump: Henry VIII, Caligula, Stalin, Tiberius. Or all of them.

Correct. In other words, they never understood what the war was really about.
Proven by the fact that Stalin regardet Hitler as an ideological ally, thus their early alliance.

I mean I get it. Stalin drove Hitler’s rise to power through his proxies in Germany and then signed a treaty with the Nazis.
Then left the country unprepared and nearly annihilated when Hitler invaded. Then got bailed out by American resources.

Stalin got there first, but at least his award also entailed real material benefits for people who bore the children.

You realize that's total utter fiction? There's a SUPER-STATE when a Communist entity becomes "stateless." They tried that with COMINTERN. That was nothing more or less than Stalin running every Communist Party in the world by remote control - except those few that wouldn't go along.

I imagine if he were, he would've been a better artist than he was a politician.
That would've been a far superior timeline to ours.
Many people hate Hitler, but they don't know why.
Mao, Lenin, and Stalin were just as bad as him, if not worse.

Kimmel recounts how personal revenge quests, magnified onto social and international levels, lie at the heart of many of the worst mass atrocities in human history: Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and many names from earlier centuries with their own shocking rampages.

Russia invaded Ukraine. There are far more Fascists in Russia than Ukraine. When your Grandparents remember being intentionally starved by Stalin, you suffered the most Soviet casualties in WWII (10 million), and you were forced to choose between siding with Hitler and Stalin, it creates a mindset.
