How Stalin Fooled the World and Why It Matters Today

Tismaneanu: I regard both Communism and Fascism as revolutionary projects, inherently and irredeemably hostile to liberal values. Both have used manipulative methods to arouse, to galvanize mass movements committed to an apocalyptic break with an execrated status quo. Both are secular religions obsessed with transcending the existing human condition in favor an anthropological revolution. Both are millenarianisms announcing the advent of the New Man. I suggest that a comparison between Communism and Fascism helps us understand better the nature, goals, and consequences of such movements, including their Islamist heirs. I regard them as parts of an unfinished century of revolutionary hubris.

My main question, underlying all the other ones, is: How was it possible for ideologies so different in their origin and rhetoric to result in mass murder? I see nihilism at the core of both revolutionary programs. Communism, as the great French historian Francois Furet said, is a pathology of the Enlightenment. Fascism is pathology of the Counter-Enlightenment. They are both exacerbated, inflamed, pathological expressions of the attempt to impose through violence elitist fantasies of historical grandeur.

Another main point is my polemic with the disingenuous double standards so often used in dealing with the two totalitarian visions (Communism, in any of its incarnations, and Fascism). It is amazing how prompt the criticism operates whenever dealing with Martin Heidegger’s romance with National Socialism and how meek the reactions are when focusing on Georg Lukacs, a zealot of Bolshevism until the end of his life.

LOL!

American Jihad made a complete muppet of himself posting fake "quotes" of supposedly Stalin.

Now he moved onto equally idiotic fakes of "Lenin's quotes".

Listen, tool, care to give a prime source for that "quote"?

ROLMAO, the quote is the link just click on it stupid...:eek:
 
She would be on her chubby knees sucking their cocks.

Seems you been practicing in your corner for more attention, goo gobbler.

THis puzzy calls himself high returd or no gravity can't answer a fucking question only hides behind cover so he wears off the drunk.

must be true from drunk dialer....post are still incoherent ...can't learn the first time begs the question about infinity hu drunk dialer of infinite proportions......:cuckoo:
 
Remembering Stalin's deportations

:

You, Americans, are so stupid you don't even know the difference between "deportation" and "resettlement".

They were RESETTLED throughout the Soviet Union with compensations for properties left behind and help with settling in a new place, while in actual fact, according to the LAW most of their adult male population had to be shot for crimes they committed. But it would've meant the end of their ethnicities, so Stalin decided to be a humanist and resettled them instead.

Unlike US that scooped up all its citizens of Japanese ethnicity and put them into CONCENTRATION CAMPS, while their only "crime" was their ethnicity.

I am not even mentioning "blankets for Indians"! Or favourite US pastime (way into 1970-s!) of torturing and murdering their co-citizens for their skin colour!

The US support of Hitler until the end of 1944 is a separate issue! How many people across Europe, Asia and Africa died because you were financing Hitler and enabling him to continue with the war?!

You're dumber than a stump...:cuckoo:
 
Stalin DID fool some of the people some of the time.

But as many American communists went to Russia his reputation tarnished for many of them.

Communism was a passing fancy for many young people of my father's generation --people still stinging from their experiences during the great depression.

But as the evidence of Stalins repression became obvious, most of those people abandoned Communism as a system that failed and STalin as just anothr tyrant.

What "Communism"?!

You, fucking morons, where did you see "Communism"? No one apart from Westerners referred to SOCIALIST system as "communism"!

Where was the Communism?

Good question as it surely was NOT found in Stalin's USSR

Most of the people who visited Stalinist Russia (and subsequently abandoned their affection for communism) were member of the AMERICAN COMMUNIST PARTY, lad.

But that's the thing. During the great depression, many Americans were fed up with the government. They were pretty eager to make a change.

Part of FDR's legacy was he was able to stave that change off with progressive reforms.
 
Seriously you created an ID for no other reason than to post in this one thread on the internets. The only reason someone would do that is if they are mentally ill or a troll. Which are you?

Exactly, where, in what country you, Americans, saw "Communism"? You keep using this word, yet you can't answer the question above! How stupid are you not to distinguish between POLITICAL IDEAS and ECONOMIC SYSTEM????!!!!

Your "American Communist Party" has nothing in common with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. It's enough to point out that William Browder who robbed Russia blind in the 90-s, and who is strongly suspected of ordering the murder of his two former companions Safra and Magnitsky -- was a grandson of a leader of your American Communist Party!

There was no communism in Russia, that is certainly true.

I have no doubt that most genuine communists ended up in the gulags or in shallow graves with a bullet in the back of their heads...as did genuine anarchists, genuine socialists, and any other person or party that threatened the authority of STALIN.

What's you point, lad?

That most people here don't understand the difference between Communism and socialism?

Why should they?

Communism is about as real as a unicorn.
 
The following was the next line, that wasn't an assertion, it was an observation of FAR Left revision.

Such a revisionist history would seem to have been thoroughly discredited in this day and age, despite its persistence in the early days of the Cold War, but it continues resurfacing, most recently in an Oliver Stone documentary series.


The most leftward of these is to see Stalin as a victim of German and American imperialism who struggled to maintain the peace in the face of aggressive expansionistic efforts by Nazi Germany and the United States.

Nonsense.

By all means back up this claim with some links or examples - but you won't find much.

Stalin is almost universally regarded by left and right as a dictator, a tryant and a mad man. The fact that he worked with the Alies to defeat Hitler does not change that.
