Militant atheism has become a religion

224. stalin took marx seriously? Are you kidding?

I studied there 6 years before Brezhnev was officially declared dead, which was probably 5 years after he was already dead. I learned much from observation, from asking innocent questions (as an american college student, they were quite liberal, compared to how they treated their own people) and doing all the research I could handle.

I can assure you from personal experience that Stalin was not a socialist, not a communist, not a marxist leninist. He was a thug, pure and simple. His idea of gaining power was to kill everyone and anyone in his way. Neither marx, nor lenin, nor trostski, nor many other former leaders or idea men would have ever believed that a maniac like him would ever be appointed as chairman.
Those who did the dirty deed repeatedly thought that he was so dumb, so vile as a human, and so unconcerned with political theory, that by voting him in, they would have a convenient puppet. I wonder what crossed their minds as they were goose-stepped to the bloody wall that would be their last conscious moment on earth.

During Brezhnev times, the hardest job people had was admitting that stalin was a dangerous, murderous disaster, while also stating that the Politburo was infalible and had not done any wrong by electing him. Much like celebating today's catholic priests for their celibacy while they continue to fuck innocent kids. Like yesterday's paper stated here (as even more current crimes are uncovered)
