    The westerners get mad when I tell them I will bury them, but they also get mad when I tell them I will leave their bodies unburied. There's just no pleasing them.

    Khrushchev said "We will live to attend your funeral".

    The CPC under Xi might just end up burying America more broadly.

    iirc the missing context is that he was talking about burying them in production of consumer goods

    God, I forgot about that incident. Probably one of the most based and redditpilled things he did.

    If I remember the story correctly he was supposed to have taken his shoe off and was beating it against the table to emphasize his point, but that may be apocryphal.

      The shoe-banging incident occurred when Nikita Khrushchev, First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, pounded his shoe on his delegate-desk in protest at a speech by Philippine delegate Lorenzo Sumulong during the 902nd Plenary Meeting of the United Nations General Assembly held in New York City on 12 October 1960.

      On 12 October 1960, head of the Filipino delegation Lorenzo Sumulong referred to "the peoples of Eastern Europe and elsewhere which have been deprived of the free exercise of their civil and political rights and which have been swallowed up, so to speak, by the Soviet Union".

      Upon hearing this, Khrushchev quickly came to the rostrum, being recognized on a point of order. There he demonstratively, in a theatrical manner, brushed Sumulong aside, with an upward motion of his right arm—without physically touching him—and began a lengthy denunciation of Sumulong, branding him (among other things) as "a jerk, a stooge, and a lackey", and a "toady of American imperialism".

      According to some sources, Khrushchev pounded his fists on his desk in protest as Sumulong continued to speak, and at one point picked up his shoe and banged the desk with it.

      Sumulong's speech was again interrupted. Another point of order was raised by the highly agitated Romanian Foreign Vice-minister Eduard Mezincescu, a member of the Eastern Bloc. Mezincescu gave his own angry denunciation of Sumulong and then turned his anger on Boland, his provoking, insulting, and ignoring of the Assembly President leading to his microphone being eventually shut off.

      This prompted a chorus of shouts and jeers from the Eastern Bloc delegations. :troll:

    This stuff just makes me hate Khrushchev more because his vision for a superior and inevitable society is just... Bukharinite Liberalism.
