dhanvi patel :

He was a dictator yes. He led the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Rylan :

sndjdh :

This is satire right?

Jack Tyson :

I wouldn’t say the CIA is the most democratic system either

𝔓𝔩𝔞𝔱𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔞𝔩𝔰𝔢𝔦Φ :

Is this the same guy who killed millions of his own people and 🍇ed a 13 year old?

ReadRed :

Stalin wasn’t communist. It was authoritarian state capitalism.

Gareth ☭ :

It was not the CIA, it was a document provided by one of their contacts, which was never published or approved by the CIA.

eri :

someone didn’t read the whole document 😭

∂³Σx² :

"he refused to let go of power!!" bro tried to retire but the collective said no.

yollo-j ☭ :

Yeah he wasnt nearly as bad as portrayed ofc, but he still was much worse than Lenin.

Leo ☭⁴ :

Collective leadership of the bureaucracy, not of the workers.

𝒵𝒶𝓁𝓁𝓎 :

Don’t google Stalin 13, don’t do that.

Victoria L. 🏳️‍⚧️ ☭ :

I literally read this when I cover the cold war with my high school students.

Faai :

sorry but this wasn't written by the CIA, it was written to the CIA if I remember right

flacoo :

Well said comrade tell us more🫡

Caius🇨🇦 :

It’s called the dictatorship of the proletariat, not Plato’s “collectively lead,” democratic ship of the proletariat.

𝕭𝖑𝖗 🌀 :

personally i allign with marxism, but im only recently getting educated. genuinely curious, ive heard stalin starved many people and there was deaths caused because of it, ive heard this from my moldovan friend. genuinely curious and want input on this !!

BittyKitty :

Why does it say "This is UNEVALUATED information"?

PashukanisGhost :

I’m not anti Stalin but this is not a good point, that he managed different factions doesn’t mean much

The Ginge :

Trying to make Stalin look like a good person is WILD! Trying to make communism on a large scale seem good is even more wild! Just like with a total monarchy, there is a chain of command of the power structure…. Advisors.

Joshua DuBois :

I wanna find this and download the document can you help me narrow down the search or maybe a like

fozzie 🧸 :

I mean, 2 things can be true at once

▓█▓⃢⃢♚⃢⃢▓█▓ :

fun fact did you know Stalin during his youth years of being criminal when he was sentenced to Siberia for slave work he stayed with a family and that family had a little girl I forgot her name but you can search a story up and their reports of stolen abusing that little girl and impregnating her not once but twice no one's going to talk about that
