don't forget stalin was a simple, common georgian criminal who was even a little cross-eyed, you can see it in the rare untouched HQ candid gifs of him
>>509502148 >who was even a little cross-eyed
this is why all his professional portraits capture him staring off into the distance btw, never straight ahead, unlike hitler and basically any other leader (including Mao)

Communism only has two achievements: Dragging extremely backwards countries out of extreme backwardness until they were only a few decades behind the west, and helping to defeat the Axis.

Russia was going to industrialize anyways with the Czar in power or not. Stalin just made sure several million people would die in the process and everyone would live in terrible conditions.
>>509505033 >Russia under the Tsars would not have industrialised fast enough to be of any help at all against the Axis.
create problem - propose yourself as the solution
look up the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Gestapo-NKVD conferences etc.

The UK was also criticised for its policy of appeasement, but it bought time to prepare to fight the Axis.
The Soviets got into power long before the Nazis did.

Didn’t buy enough time. The UK should have waited until the German invasion of the USSR to launch a combined attack with France.
Guaranteeing Poland was a blunder that nearly led to the total capitulation of Britain and defeat.

You idolise a artfag that shot himself and you're so defensive that even pointing out communism (a failed ideology)'s two achievements makes you seethe.
