Most people “know” that Joseph Stalin was “evil”. But very few know that
- Under Stalin, and the Soviet Union set the world record for the quickest doubling of life expectancy from 32 to 68 in under 30 years, the quickest turnaround in history
- Literacy rates in the Soviet Union rose from a dismal 30% to 98.5%
- Women made up a third of Societ engineers and 79% of medical doctors
- Women in the ruling party went from 5 to 21%, at a time when Black and Native women in the United States were not allowed to vote
- Stalin took the Soviet Union to the second most industrialised nation globally in a decade, something that took Western capitalists centuries of colonial pillaging
- Healthcare, education, and childcare remained universal and were improved upon, hence the drastic increase in life expectancy
- Racist speech was criminalised!
- The Soviet Union defeated Japanese imperialism in both Manchuria and Korea
- Defeated Hitler and the Nazis
- Took a desperately underdeveloped society to a competing world Power with real, tangible outcomes
- Every national liberation movement that followed, Cuba, China, Vietnam, South Africa, all stood on Soviet shoulders
The popular Western political theory of “totalitarianism” which frames Stalin and Hitler as “twin monsters” of the 20th century is an ideological tool meant to hide the dark side of Western liberalism, specifically its history of White supremacy, the genocide of Indigenous peoples, colonialism, and chattel slavery, which actually served as the closest ideological inspirations for Nazism.
Western historians hypocritically isolate Stalin’s actions from the global context of the early 20th century, whereas in reality, the mechanisms of the Soviet state were the same things done by Western liberal democracies at the time.
For instance, France casually killed 10 million Algerians and tested an atomic bomb on their soil.
Westerners harp on about Stalin’s Gulags as if they were the same thing as Nazi extermination camps. In truth, the Gulag was a punitive penal system focused on forced labour and political re-education where redemption was officially possible, rather than a system designed for industrial racial extermination.
Meanwhile, the British in South Africa, the Germans in Namibia and the US with the Japanese population in the US, all used concentration camps when they thought it was necessary. A lot of projection going around.
In the end, Stalin was just a typical European leader. What sets him apart from the rest of the capitalist west, and why he is demonised is because he was attempting to build a socialist state while under total siege by civil war and foreign capitalist encirclement.

@moscester Я об этом говорил ещё лет 15-20 назад, когда думающие люди стали возмущаться: зачем и с какой целью такая миграционная политика в странах Европы? Именно для этого -чтоб на волне негодования возродить нацизм. Своего род -а-ля поджог Рейхстага.
@VvaZ00 Новость февраля 2023 года о смерти 58-летней Марины Янкиной, главы финансового управления ЗВО Минобороны РФ, тело которой нашли под окнами квартиры в Петербурге.
The UK rape gang inquiry report just dropped and it should make your blood boil:
1. At least 250,000 young White girls were groomed, raped, trafficked, and tortured.
2. Perpetrators followed consistent tactics of befriending vulnerable girls as young as 11 with gifts, drugs, and alcohol before subjecting them to group rapes, violence, blackmail, pregnancies, forced conversions, and trafficking.
3. UK institutions—including police, social services, schools, NHS, and politicians—catastrophically failed victims through denial, ignored reports, criminalization of victims, destruction of evidence, and prioritization of political correctness and fears of “racism” accusations over child protection.
4. 87–95% of convicted perpetrators in group-based child sexual exploitation cases were Muslim. It was predominantly Muslim Pakistani gangs. They operated across 149 local authority districts. Groups from Somali,
Iranian, Syrian, Turkish, and other Muslim origins were also involved.
5. The Muslim perpetrators operated under an honour- and
shame-based clan code that treated non-Muslim girls, especially White working class girls, as property available for sexual use. Girls were told that they’re “White trash” who deserved punishment.
People need to go to prison for this.
Правящий класс никогда не пойдёт на массовый безусловный доход. Капиталисты любили эксперементировать с подачками в поисках максимизации прибыли. Но все массовые блага люди завоевывали в борьбе, они никогда не падали сверху.
@moscester А кто будет определять этот критерий важности голоса? Знал немало гопников, которые в понимании жизни и своих поступках сделали гораздо больше, чем некоторые академики (особенно нынешние)
@moscester Что-то у этой когорты "идущих на х...", в смысле -либеральнонастроенных твиттерских (к ним же Капитан Кенгуру, Историческое Фото) в последнее время обострение. Они такую ахинею нести и клюкву загонять про социализм, вторую мировую, что ни на один глобус не натянешь.
Em 1931, no estado do Alabama, nos Estados Unidos, nove jovens negros foram presos.
Duas mulheres brancas os acusaram de estupro. Não havia provas. Mesmo assim, um júri formado apenas por homens brancos condenou oito deles à pena de morte. O mais novo tinha apenas 13 anos.
Na prisão, ninguém se importava com aqueles rapazes.
Até que apareceu uma costureira branca de 57 anos chamada Jane Newton.
Depois de ler a notícia no jornal, ela começou a pegar ônibus até a prisão e, todas as terças-feiras, ia visitá-los.
Ela não era advogada nem ativista. Era apenas uma mulher comum.
Levava frango frito, pão de milho e também lápis, ensinando aqueles jovens, muitos deles quase analfabetos, a escrever o próprio nome.
Os guardas a chamavam de “amante de negros”, mas ela respondia apenas:
“Sou cristã. Esses rapazes merecem escrever cartas para suas mães.”
Ela os ajudava a escrever e enviar cartas. Quando um deles perdeu a visão de um olho após ser espancado, ela lia histórias para ele. Quando era aniversário de algum deles, cantava parabéns do outro lado do vidro e levava bolo.
Mais tarde, a Suprema Corte anulou a sentença duas vezes. O caso se arrastou por seis anos.
Jane Newton morreu em 1946. Não deixou família.
Os rapazes juntaram dinheiro para erguer uma lápide em homenagem a ela. Nela, escreveram apenas uma frase:
“Quando ninguém mais vinha, ela veio.”
Em 2023, o estado do Alabama finalmente inocentou oficialmente aqueles jovens.
O último sobrevivente, já idoso, foi perguntado se ainda guardava ódio.
Ele respondeu:
“Não. Dona Jane me ensinou a escrever o meu nome. Foi com esse mesmo nome que assinei o documento da minha inocência. Isso basta.”
Às vezes, quem realmente muda destinos não são os grandes líderes nem as pessoas poderosas.
Às vezes, é apenas alguém comum disposto a tratar outro ser humano com bondade. ❤️
