Some Ideas I've heard floating around mixed with my own frustrated philosophy. I sound sort of angry in this video, it is just sleepiness, I am ZEN. All I really wanna do....
@QuietReckoning No, Stalin murdered TENS of millions of people, the Czars all put together murdered only a small part of that.
Also, the Czars, while brutal, had restraint with their tyranny. Stalin was a maniac and had no such restraint on tyranny. Everything bad about the czars was magnified with Stalin. Virtually any history book will list him in the top 5 worst dictators of all time.
@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY Stalinism was equally brutal to the czars, but far more efficient. There's no reason to think that one autocrat would be different from another, except that less people starved under Stalin. If I had to choose whether to live under Stalinism or the Czars, I'd definitely choose Stalin, but I'd prefer neither. Was Stalin better than the Czars? Probably. That doesn't mean either were good. Lenin's brother is irrelevant. The point is that they were both brutal.
@QuietReckoning 'The Communists did nothing that the Czars wouldn't have. The Industrialization and arming of russia would have happened no matter who was in control.'
That sentence completely and utterly false. The people of Russia lived under the brutal repression of the Tzars for about 400 years. This was the whole idea behind the Bolshevik 1917 Revolution. Also, Lenin's eldest brother was killed for plotting to assassinate the tsar (Czar)
@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY Simple: Russia always had manpower and resources. The Communists did nothing that the Czars wouldn't have. The Industrialization and arming of russia would have happened no matter who was in control.
If the Czars had cracked with the ruthless efficiency of Stalin, the result would have been the same.
Revolution now! A voluntary structure is possible..if the people wake up.

@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY Nazi Germany also was the potentially most powerful military force, yet is regarded as universally evil. Try again.

Piece of advice: either make your speech volume higher or the Bob Dylan music quieter.

@QuietReckoning that is incorrect: "all good" is NOT defoned in terms of economic good only.
'The dictatorship of the proletariat has not been and will not be successful'
Then how did it turn Russia, a backward peasant nation, into a nuclear armed superpower?
