@Radical_EgoCom 3)There are many things said about Stalin, from a dictator to a person not as good to see and understand theory, and its logical, people undergo different stages of getting in touch with the ML, and the history proving it right, and so the anti-communist propaganda corresponds with different levels of lies.

@Radical_EgoCom The pragmatic label, misunderstands ML imo, because it confuses the relationship of theory and practice, theory would be useless, if it was disconnected with practice, and practice would be insufficient if it wasn't following a path that theory illuminates. Saying Stalin, missed a bit on theory makes you wonder what someone means, what history they have learnt, and whats theory for them.Look at the ALTs

@Radical_EgoCom If you actually search Stalin's works, see its actions, you are gonna realise he had a very close relationship with theory, theory is not something stand alone, or disconnected, its an always changing organism that evolves in the passing of time, in the extend of valuable practice. At what point did Stalin performed poorly ? Now, someone can accuse him of some theoretical mistakes, in the commodity production for instance he did miss a few details, but overall his work was

@Radical_EgoCom remarkable, he did defend that markets ain't part of socialism, the laws of political economy as Marx pointed out, you can also judge the 1936 constitution which ended the production centered elections for the local one, to ensure people unity in the upcoming war, which make more blur he class identity of state and and allowed opportunists like Khrushchev, gain ground.

@Radical_EgoCom But that also bring me to the point that accusing Stalin o everything, a) forgets Stalin didn't have full control on the decisions, democratic centralism was applied, if majority was voting something he didn't like, he would have to follow suit, see for instance the attitude to other communist parties, diff from what stalin had advocated for, or how he tried to retire 5 times, but the Central Committee rejected it.

@Radical_EgoCom other details are for example, the ability people have to recall him but never did, the difference of being Secretery, with Chairman of people's commissar, and so on. Someone can by himself go more in deep like on the literature the election procedures and more that show no real hate from people to Stalin, see for instance the Days And Nights

@Radical_EgoCom b) ignores the material conditions, IMT(RCI) in many of their works accuse Stalin in the same dump way, but to give a marxist note, they start say things like: capitalists got around stalin. I remember I read a piece of them for the WWII and while they accuse stalin for supporting hitler, and the west, say that USSR won the war but the credits only go to the people not to Stalin

@Radical_EgoCom Which in the best scenario is idiotic. The reason the soviets won was because of the partisan orgs who worked hand in hand with the Red Army, the sacrifice of all people, but to say that no credits went to stalin, is forgetting the major factor, the central planning, the creation of a huge weapon industry, in a matte of months, Stalin and the government had no role in this ? The army was magicaly not something under the govs control ?

@Radical_EgoCom Saying Stalin was no part of this, is saying the government was not one of the people, and in the end that's the true essence of trot, no matter how many nicely flagged ifs, and nice going explanations, they side with the west narrative of history, they support anti-sovietism, they support any win of the capitalists no matter how it ends up being portrait.

@Radical_EgoCom Are you talking about the Moscow Cases ? many in the army where opportunists and removed, but 1st they should have, even Trotsky's own archive proves he had communication with them, while he and they refused so.

@Radical_EgoCom Again, in the collectivization he endorsed an not so aggressive path, in the beginning all the party did was to request kulaks giving the production to the state, but the kulaks (capitalists of the land) either they hid the production or even destroyed it, that along with the droughts caused the famines, collectivization is what made the USSR solve the famine issue. The narrative was built to support the kulaks. Look ALT

@Radical_EgoCom is there any source you could provide me with Stalin actively supporting it? cause I can only find wikipedia, and trot sites, and neither of them can serve the purpose of reliability

@Radical_EgoCom 1) I will look more into the subject but a) weird that I can find nothing in the collected works of Stalin about it, not one speech? Not one message? B) the supreme Soviet of USSR was full scientists and also the USSR was always even the worst days in the pinnacle of science research, it seems rather odd and not feasible to have implement it, but will contact once I go more in depth

@Radical_EgoCom Another based thing Mao said, was " if capitalist restoration happens in China, it would still be called People's Republic of China, just the ruling class would have changed"(quote from my memory), despite him having many theoretical problem of ML, someone can admire his work. I think a phrase describing him good is that of Fidel Castro " I think Mao destroyed with his fist what he built all these years with his mind" https://newworker.us/theory-history/on-the-maoist-conception-of-dialectics/

@Radical_EgoCom @NateProle @sashin Comrade said it in a very good way. I also suggest to read State and Revolution, a book of Lenin's on the topic.
