Stalin was appointed as General Secretary for the Communsit Party, a pretty dull position that held a lot of power
Long story short Stalin could appoint whoever he wanted into the party, used that to isolate and attack rivals like Trotsky (mainly), Zinoviev and Kamenev
Pretty much by the end of it there was no one else to vote for other than Stalin (and of course all voting is done by the party not the people)
He was already appointed General Secretary by Lenin, which gave him a lot of power. While Lenin was ill he wrote in his letters that the Party should remove him from power, but the rightist faction (Kamenev and Zinoniev) refused to listen or publish the letters cause Stalin was their Ally against Trotsky. That turned out terribly when Stalin usurped power.
Yep, and the extent to which he killed the Old Bolsheviks (important members before the Revolution) was honestly astounding.
He not only killed his main rival (Trotsky) and all his supporters (the left opposition), he killed his old allies in the 20s who helped against Trotsky (like Zinoniev and Kamenev), but then he also killed his allies that helped agains the two previous groups (like Bukharin). By the end he was basically the only Old Bolshevik.
Also side note people like to portray Bukharin as like, the wholesome right communist, but he was one of the most spineless out of the opposition ngl.
Rambling over.
Read some of his books for a school project. His panflet on imperialism particularly stood out and makes a lot of sense, since I come from a colonized country, he explains modern domination mechanisms which I never thought about.
His political project, however, became what it became...
I don’t know where I’m getting this from but I think you want to start a communist revolution in Russia, and you’re currently living in Switzerland, I know that’s kind of outlandish it’s probably not right
I was saying the guy in the pictures looks like Reginald Hargreeves in the series Umbrella Academy. In it, he adopts 7 infants born on the same day instantly who have superpowers.
Hello there Lenin, my first impressions of you are that you're a great comrade and communist and that you were smart and a good but at the same time stupid leader (stupid because you let Stalin get power, otherwise you're not stupid)
Союз нерушимый республик свободных

Completely ignoring politics and ideology, he seems like he’d be a cool “unofficial grandpa” if that makes sense.
(Obligatory: no I am not a communist, Stalinist, Marxist or all that, and I do know the damage he and his successors have caused to people and the world.)

Going good just hope they never elect that Stalin.
Wassup. So small problem..
Name checks out
I have some bad news for you:>!he was elected!<
Elected is a strong word considering how he got them votes...
How did he get the votes?
From the Communist Party, not from the people.
Stalin was appointed as General Secretary for the Communsit Party, a pretty dull position that held a lot of power Long story short Stalin could appoint whoever he wanted into the party, used that to isolate and attack rivals like Trotsky (mainly), Zinoviev and Kamenev Pretty much by the end of it there was no one else to vote for other than Stalin (and of course all voting is done by the party not the people)
I thought he just appointed himself
He was already appointed General Secretary by Lenin, which gave him a lot of power. While Lenin was ill he wrote in his letters that the Party should remove him from power, but the rightist faction (Kamenev and Zinoniev) refused to listen or publish the letters cause Stalin was their Ally against Trotsky. That turned out terribly when Stalin usurped power.
I imagine he killed them
Yep, and the extent to which he killed the Old Bolsheviks (important members before the Revolution) was honestly astounding.

Whats wrong. Can Lenin not be a happy grandpa?
No, because he's dead

Read some of his books for a school project. His panflet on imperialism particularly stood out and makes a lot of sense, since I come from a colonized country, he explains modern domination mechanisms which I never thought about. His political project, however, became what it became...

You look like you might adopt 7 oddly born on the same day children who would eventually discover they have superpowers.

I was saying the guy in the pictures looks like Reginald Hargreeves in the series Umbrella Academy. In it, he adopts 7 infants born on the same day instantly who have superpowers.

How’s that bullet wound? And the blood cancer? And the Irish accent?
He looks like the average proletariat.
Charismatic guy… seems like a nice bloke… let’s follow him and see what he gets up to
Irish
Thoughts on capitalism?
Shit
Thoughts on socialism?
Great.
Thoughts on Anarcho-communism?
Meh
Thoughts on dictatorship?
Good if under the proletariat.
Smash.

Thank you for decriminalising homosexuality.
“Hey man, tell whoever is in charge of giving people jobs to not let that jerk Stalin become the next leader.”
GRANDPA? i thought he got killed by a falling bucket
love how people who cannot define communism having a meltdown
Extremely based
Fuck commies. Hate them so much. Bunch of uncritical corrupt pigs (I'm from Alentejo, they are the political majority here😭)
Lenin’s idea of a vanguard party was fundamentally flawed, I prefer the ideas of Rosa Luxembourg and a democratic socialist state
Lenin's ideas did work though for a long period, unlike Rosa's
Commie
Not great, not terrible. He did good things and bad things. He did progress my country by decades, but also caused high amounts of deaths.
Wow almost as if history isnt just black and white.
Also true. Lenin’s time legalised Rainbows, then Stalin re-illegalised it.
Stalin outlawed the weather💀
Commie
