    Reminds me of that Latvian professor that tutored Stalin in theory. Supposedly he was incredibly frustrated with Stalin's inability to understand Hegel, joined a whole bunch of conspiratorial groups that plotted to remove Stalin from power and was shot in '37.

      Personality

      Bukharin's widow, Anna Larina, described Sten as "an independent-minded party man who always looked down on Stalin from a position of superior intellect" adding "There was something majestic in the proud bearing of this Latvian with his expressive, intelligent face, Socratic brow, and shock of white hair."[7]

      christ, no wonder this guy was executed

          How dare Stalin execute people who conspire against him during a time when American interests are working overtime to shatter the USSR! He should've been like an anarchist and allowed reactionaries, conspirators, and NATO-aligned agents free reign

            oh no poor Stalin! Communism is DEAD now because people were mean to Stalin! If only Stalin executed more Marxists, maybe then we'd have world wide communism. Pull your head out of your ass idiot.

              Hey! I totally don’t understand what Stalin was trying to do and automatically assume that any killing isn’t justified to defend your communist society from capitalist reactionaries!

            communism is when you worship a Georgian bank robber who didnt understand Hegel. The more you worship him the more communist you are
