given how the USSR needed Molotov pact shit to push back against Hitler
Stalin was in many ways the only leader capable of leading USSR against Hitler
this much is true
that's the sad part
but as a *communist leader* he was not a super good one. and he was a communist, no doubt of this, but just imo not a very good one
i think he actually saved Russia and not many people realize that
he did destroy Germany tho :/
oh he saved much more than Russia. he saved Ukraine, Belarus and, I think, ultimately Poland despite what Poles say
but that's pretty much on everyone who thought Operation Barbarosa was a good idea
because Nazis weren't gonna fucking tolerate the slavic Poles come on 😄
saved Ukraine?
well in a way
oh yes Nazis would've absolutely killed off the Ukrainians
they weren't pure fam
needs some of dat lebensraum
in a way the Iron Curtain was good, defended the Nations from all the Western Brain Washing right
gibs me dats lebensraum
well that's the thing
lots of people think that "muh guldural margsism is ruining the West"
but in fact,
the place where that "cultural marxism" (not Marxism in actual fact) originates is the West
Nazis did Ukraine and Poland a huge favor too, cleaned it up.. same with Lithuania, no one wants to give Hitler that much favor now
and where it was absent, was the Soviet bloc
that's true
because Stalin purged the noses
yea, frankfurt was west germany right
so they pretty much remained only in Western Liberal Democracies, France, US, Germany
in fact, "identity politics" are entirely idealist form of politics, and Marxism is *materialist* - it doesn't even make sense to talk of "Marxist minority/majority politics" in relation to identity
> because Stalin purged the noses
eh, Stalin purged everyone
the fetish for equality has been associated with marxism
Marx respected that there were different cultures and they wouldnt mix
equality in productive relations and labour, mind you. its a very specific form of equality that Marxism seeks
thats why people say cultural marxism despite identity politics and marxism only mixing with college students
liberating the worker doesnt mean mixing all the different workers together
lol
Equality as an idea existed before marxism, inb4 someone says that, but Post Modernists and Intersectional types get it from Marxism
liberate
muh
starbucks!
and everyone who isnt normal
