Childhood is when you idolize Trotsky. Adulthood is when you realize Stalin makes more sense
I hate bothThe only good commie is a dead commie
>>18360523both are my heroes and role models
>>18360523I’m not a low IQ libtard fag so I’ve always idolized Stalin
>>18360523Actually the other way around
Interesting diversity of opinions in this thread so far
It's kind of a proxy fight with Trotsky representing urbane, literate, cosmopolitan (Jewish) Marxism and Stalin representing the average Russian peasant suddenly hooked up to a wire and plugged into a grid. In all honesty that was probably a more natural outcome of socialism adapting to its actual environment in Russia, but peasants are superstitious, kind of retarded about certain things, and also up in each other's business constantly, and they will do things like tie weights around the village widow and throw her into the creek because they think she's responsible for why their cow died. Scale that up to an industrial economy and how they deal with industrial output not going to plan and what sorcery is to blame and who gets it in the neck and the Stalin era in Soviet history starts to make more sense.Also see:https://youtu.be/aYAG5cjvC9g
>>18360523you are a small kid, watch
>>18360523Both were liberals.
>>18360523Who the fuck has idolized trotsky except for retards? At least Stalin was Stalin.
>>18360523idolizing villains is a perpetual teenager move
>>18360523Not being retarded is when you realise all commies are subhumans that should be killed

>>18361356Latin Americans, Lunatics. (Same thing)
>>18360523Correct, Stalin was the realist while Trotsky was idealistic. Stalin understood that the policies the State uses are a means to sustain it's organization model rather then it being ideological. This is the case because States (as organizations existing in material reality) need to perform certain actions to exist. If it doesn't or can't perform these means; the State would dissolve. So, the rationale behind the State's policies are a cost benefit analysis on the maintenance of it's organization to stay operational. A policy which isn't organizationally required wouldn't be enacted since it would be a waste of resources and would have the organization compromised. Stalin understood that the Economic, Social and Foreign policy that Trotsky wanted to implement would have destroyed the USSR. And another batch of elites would've taken the State apparatus over and benefited.
>>18362336>Madara was the realist while Hashirama was idealistic
>>18361139Marx supported commodity-production btw. Anarchist revisionism won't change that fact.
Why is stalin being shilled so hard on this board recently? Where a bunch of tankies banned from reddit or something?
>>18362439Stalin saved the world from child torturing genocidal horde of g*rman orcs
>>18361122What does this mean?
>>18360523>Lev Davidovic Bronstein>or>StalinHard decision.
Bukharin mogs both and would make the USSR richer without starving peasants to death
>>18360523Imagine ever idolizing the mutant ratling hobgoblin Lev Davidovich Bronstein. If your very genes don't cry out from ancestral memory to stop you there must be something wrong with you or you contracted stage 4 redditism.
>>18362439>Where a bunch of tankies banned from reddit or something?I mean preferring Stalin over Trotsky specifically is hardly a uniquely tankie position to take.
>>18363221>right wing deviation
>>18363504>perhaps we should not slaughter kulaks>REEEEE RIGHT-WINGER
>>18360523
Hahahahahahahaholy shit bro
>>18362343No, Stalin is Hashirama and a bit of Tobirama while Trotsky is Madara
>>18360523Literally the reverse.
