He didn't let people practice their own religion, they were prosecuted if they did, people were censored for individual creativity, he killed anyone who he tought was a threat to his new found power which he got because of the death of Lenin He started the Great Purge which basically the same thing where he terrorized people and killed thme.. He sent people to Gulags.. He killed his one police force if they didn't bring in enough "criminals"... In total he probably killed around 8-13 million people. The man was fucken insane
Thats wat uve been told.
Those were very hard times for russia and all, but Stalin aint forced anyone to take their land, it was direct result of war. Terrizing is a really bad word for it, there were deaths that were nessesary, after the first revolution it was was hard coz it was a MAJOR REVOLUTION, people are extremist.
U speak of these terrors like u have talked to people who lived during that time in USSR. Yes you couldnt have too jobs and talk shit about the goverment, it was the capitalists that suffered most, the rich class was devasted and their word was more disturbing, that the word US took advantage of. None of you ever mention how much good it did, and none of u could ever name an exact number of people that were executed for capitalist attempts. As soon as the cold war died down a lil we started to live happier than ever, the "standarts" went higher, more m^2 per person and food talons. None of u realize that because US brought down the union, u trashed our economy and people lived shittier than ever. I happen to remember Those days of poverty and misfortune. me and my mother starved for weeks at times.
Yes there are disadvantages at peak stages, but they are greatly exagerated by movie and media propoganda. USSR had never attacked other country by liying to them and their own country, and doing it for oil.
The deaths after second world war are merely casualties of the cold war - wich was started by US(an imperealistic nation simply could not handle the fact that it now had oposition). USSR stoped Americas world domination, now that USSR is no more- the "the new american cemtury" project can now.
Socialism must be perfected with time, and needs a true leader such as Stalin, only with just a little higher of an education, now that its possible. It will lead to a perfect regieme, of people who care about society and science let by people. Capitalism - leads you to being a slave to corparations.
It will also mean less war... its almost a futuristic concept. If there are aliens that are higher advanced then us, they will prolly live in an equal society that works for the sake of everybody, not just themselves.
but most of u arent openminded enough to except that perhaps media is always telling the truth, U should read a book about Socialism by a russin whos(who isnt against it ofcourse), and an american, ull see the difference.
