[link to cia document saying the perception the average american has of the extent of stalin's power is exaggerated]
ok what does this prove
redditors develop reading comprehension challenge
How about a link to the reddit post where the doc gets linked so I don't directly link to the cia website
saying the perception the average american has of the extent of stalin’s power is exaggerated
You mean he didn't personally make every decision in Russia for longer than he was alive
So you’re a libertarian (advocating for little government involvement) and a socialist (advocating for more government involvement)?
How’s that work?

So you're a vegan (doesn't eat animals) eating vegan hot dogs (an animal)?
How's that work?
that slice when the russian life expectancy falls by 10 years but it's okay because you gave them pizza hut
You would think a good Bolshevik would know to wear a catheter and a collection bag.
Relevant story: I have heard that Lenin, before he was absolute dictator, when he wanted an issue settled his way, would start a meeting by first introducing a resolution that no one could leave the room until the issue was resolved.
Doors were locked, and plenty of water was served, while the issue was debated. Hours would pass in heated argument.
Lenin and his crew, wearing catheters and collection bags, were in no hurry to end the meeting, unlike everyone else.
Lmao what the fuck
Damn. That's how dumb they think we are. The soviet leadership inserted fucking CATHETERS just to be petty and authoritarian, kids! Honest! No, no, don't think about it too much!
Doors: locked
Water: served
Catheter: inserted
Oh yeah, it's Bolshevik time 😎
Oh, I must have been confusing democratic centralism with democratic catheterisation this whole time :soviet-hmm:
have you ever considered that everyone in that room has kissed stalin at one point and theyre just proud of their favorite polycule member for making a big speech
Actually in a really stupid move because they were kissing men all the time there was enormous homophobia and paranoia that the guy you were kissing might be gay.
Imagine a country where it’s leaders and founders are worshipped so highly.
idk it's a little funny if you look at it in a self-deprecating way, like if you imagine a leftist made it
I remember in high school our sophomore history teacher showed us a movie about Stalin
There was a scene where some guy walks up to Stalin and is all like "The people, they're not a happy you're a bad man" or something and Stalin puts a cigarette out on this guy and then does the universal "Come at me Bro!" gesture
And that was the moment 12 high school boys fell in love with Stalin
leave it to anti-communist propaganda to make stalin look even cooler
Clap for the NHS or they'll let you die from covid, clap more! More!
It’s true! Once one guy stopped clapping too early, so Stalin did this
