you didnt want to believe the 5.3% GDP Growth/full employment for two decades under Stalin that was during the Great Depression while capitalists had 1 in 4 people unemployed and economic ruin

You hardly know anything about the implementation of socialism, and when shown proof you react saying that "you don't care about facts"

They kind of avoided the Great Depression because they were not economically connected with most of the world

@Sorghagtani Beki Precisely.

I don't think Stalin is a good example for socialists to refer to

lmfao

Now you get it

lmao

i wsnt going to stop them

the growth was because he devoted his economy to hard industry

you realize if "most of the world" were socialist there would have been no great depression

it says nothing about living conditions

but there would have been a holomodor

so there's that

There was no Great Depression, yet living conditions were just as bad

because socialism, unlike capitalism, is not subject to boom/bust cycles and macroeconomic instability.

>just as bad

Stalin should not be considered as a good role model

That's not true at all either

that's completely untrue

in fact he should be thought of as a destroyer of socialism

@Sorghagtani Beki <:troll_king:312064227542040576>

living conditions relative to the times were fantastic especially compared to the living conditions during the great depression

what would Lenin have thought of Stalin becoming dictator?

In fact he specifically said he did not want that

"at least it wasnt trotsky"

Temporarily Inconvenienced Stalins

probably

😜

communism cannot happen without industrialization first

@OF-8 google "winston churchill bengal famine"

Stalin tried to rapidly industrialize, at the cost of what?

You tell me, since you seem to be so sure of it.

communism has always been meant to serve the people, not the state

state worship is fascism

@OF-8 Collectivism is the opposite of Individualism. Unlike temporarily embarrassed millionaires, socialists have no ambition to be dictators.

The state serves the people under the DotP.

the people were not served under Stalin

yeah, the indians werent exacly 'people' to the british

Yes they were.

typical economic warfare
