The British Fabians Sidney and Beatrice Webb (Sidney Webb, British economist (1859-1947); Beatrice Webb, British economist and sociologist (1858-1943), in their monumental work “Soviet Communism: A New Civilisation,” emphatically reject the notion that Stalin exercised dictatorial power:
```
“Sometimes it is asserted that the whole state is governed by the will of a single person, Josef Stalin . . First let it be noted that, unlike Mussolini, Hitler and other modern dictators, Stalin is not invested by law with any authority over his fellow-citizens. He has not even the extensive power . . . . .which the American Constitution entrusts for four years to every successive president. . . . .Stalin is not, and never has been, . . . . the President of the USSR. . . . .He is not even a People’s Commissar, or member of the Cabinet.
He is . . . the General Secretary of the Party.
```

```
We do not think that the Party is governed by the will of a single person, or that Stalin is the sort of person to claim or desire such a position. He has himself very explicitly denied any such personal dictatorship in terms which certainly accord with our own impression of the facts.
```

```
The Communist Party in the USSR has adopted for its own organisation the pattern which we have described. . . . . . In this pattern individual dictatorship has no place. Personal decisions are distrusted, and elaborately guarded against. In order to avoid the mistakes due to bias, anger, jealousy, vanity and other distempers . . . . it is desirable that the individual will should always be controlled by the necessity of gaining the assent of colleagues of equal grade, who have candidly discussed the matter and who have to make themselves jointly responsible for the decision. . . . .Stalin . . . . has . . . . frequently pointed out that he does no more than carry out the decisions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. . . The plain truth is that, surveying the administration of the USSR during the past decade under the alleged dictatorship of Stalin, principal decisions have manifested neither the promptitude nor the timeliness, nor yet the fearless obstinacy that have often been claimed as the merits of a dictatorship. On the contrary, the action of the Party has frequently been taken after consideration-so prolonged, and as the outcome of discussion sometimes so heated and embittered, as to bear upon their formulation the marks of hesitancy and lack of assurance. . . .These policies have borne . . . . the stigmata of committee control.”

>he isn't as powerful as the US president

so its a cult of personality, then

If the claim is that Stalin was merely the face I'd believe it tbh

that same book also goes into soviet democracy

yes stalin had a cult of personality

nobody is denying that

but that also stems and grows from him being the figurehead

this is making it sound like Stalin and Hitler ran extremely similar organizational doctrines

although Hitler specifically set his subordinates against each other

the hitlerite government was a clown show

Actually very much believe it, chalk up most of the horrors to subordinates vying for favor from him. Doesn't matter if he was insane or not, actually held the power or not.

it wasn't a clown show it was the whole circus

Considering she was the last straw before a number of hospitals said fuck this and joined in

Truth is I haven't had time to track it for the sake of murdering myself in the Real.

I found it elsewhere

Haven't been following it outside of following my usual channels and forwarding between them

Kek.

I don't do drugs and I don't have a family, so I would be the perfect steward.

Just as long as I could bring my guns.

Well how else are you going to protect Castle Greyskull from the alphabet boys?
