I would highly suggest not linking to the CIA's website directly 😁
For people living outside the US the chance of the CIA getting their info somehow is absolutely not 0, but it's not 100% either like in the case where we visit their website directly.
It's approximately 100% if they want it. They just buy the same data they'd get form you visiting the site from Google, which has way more data.
I mean it's the CIA, and I can guarantee they run tracking software like all websites do these days. I would rather not visit them directly and give them my data. I'm not as hardline on privacy as some here, but if we link to youtube and twitter frontends instead of those websites directly, it's never really made sense to me that this doesn't extend to the CIA website itself lol. But I'm not criticizing you or anything, just thinking we should reupload these files somewhere (they have been, they're just not always super accessible) instead.
We're probably going to rehost these docs on prolewiki so that we don't have to rely on the cia website any more lol
Honestly, I'm just expecting people to be taking anti-tracking measures already if that's important to them. I linked to the actual CIA website really just because that verifies it as the actual document — if the document were instead hosted on a different website, especially on a spooky scary "tankie" website, then the people who actually need to read it would immediately dismiss it as fake.
Thanks for the link! I always question these things when it's just an image especially as the language in there didn't seem so professional lol
"Those who hate the working class and the people, those who hate peace, those who hate and fear the conception of international fraternity, have always hated and feared Stalin, the man of peace, of international fraternity, the champion of the working class and the people who labour. They feared and slandered him in his life and they feared and slandered him at his death."
He was brutal though w.r.t our standards and norms. But the problem is everyone in the politburo was brutal. Lol
Take aside from what the original commenter said, I will not comment on that. But this "they are bad, so it's okay that we are bad too" defense is complete bullshit

Nooo you can't execute the nazi officer, you have to give him a job at NATO or NASA!!!
40 hours a week here. Pay my own bills. Agree entirely with OP. Stalin was, in fact, a very good man, and partially responsible for the liberation of Europe from Nazi occupation. The ideological progeny of those same Nazis like yourself, NATO, and the EU will never forgive him for it, nor the millions of brave Red Army soldiers and Soviet civilians who fought, struggled and died against them.
Idk, I personally think that being the leader of the nation that fought the hardest and lost the most citizens in the fight against Nazism deserves praise. Also his Collectivization of Rural Areas worked well, besides Kulaks who would rather watch their farms and crops burn than see it collectivized.
If you think being a teenager is an insult, then even if OP were one, you should be embarrassed that one bested you in argument.
Unless you’re suggesting that the CIA was filled with a bunch of teenager tankies?
