Stalin...not his real name...had planned to go to seminary to study theology and church history...but the devil got to him instead. A person I know of said that Stalin's daughter Tatiana was there in his final moments...and she said his last act was to raise and shake his fist at God...and then he died. He knew where he was going...and he knew that God would hold him accountable for all of his crimes.

@Mark Anthony, Stalin said he was an athiest, your claims seem to contradict his claims about his beliefs. What sources are you basing this claim on?

@@TaCaptainObvious No...my claims don't contradict his atheism...he wasn't always an atheist, until he said "No" to God and "Yes" to self....the same thing Satan did. His desire to study at seminary is a well known fact...but the account of him shaking his fist at God as his last act was witnessed by his daughter Tatianna and she told what happened in her conversations with Dr. Ravi Zacharias , who was invited by the communists to come and speak to them in the early 1980's. Dr. Ravi Zacharias mentioned this fact during his public lectures at Universities on the topic of " The Incoherence of Atheism".

Stalin and Hitler's similarities are striking and scary.

TaCaptainObvious there are no atheists on their death bed. But then it’s too late for them.

Hmm...i am russian and this phrase are used as a sarcastic joke. At least, i have never heard that somebody says it seriously.

Vagus Maximus nobody say such a thing with a serious tone, of course. It’s called satyrique joke. Zhvanetskiy used to quot it, as well as very close saying of Smirnov-Sokolskiy “we live like in a tramway, half is sitting (Russian Argo to be in jail), half is trembling (shaking)”. It doesn’t mean it was a big problem, people used to make jokes to overcome their fears, to laugh on the shame. Like you feel terrified during a minor car accident then you tell your friends “boy, it was nothing, I actually was bored” to look cool. The year Stalin died, there were more than 2.4 mln prisoners in GULAG. About 18 mln people passed through GULAG from 1930 to 1953. I do agree that in fiction book there’s a lot of exaggerated info about that period, but....

@Son of Europa Dude, that's the entire population of my country. He literally had a country's worth of people sent to a gulag over his rule, dang

@@ArtOfDyingWell all things you mentioned was produced by human labor, not the economic system. The economic system only manages who gets the profit of labor, the slave owner, the feudal lord, or the bourgeiose. Crony capitalism is just financial Capitalism, is the evolution of industrial capitalism and thus cannot be reversed. The term crony capitalism was created by people now, while marxists have explained for a century in a half that financial capitalism is inevitable and will, and is, creating problems to humanity. This is why Trump dreamed of reversing capitalism back fo the industrial form, but was unable to, because "crony" capitalism cannot be reversed by liberal policies.

That's not true m8. He died days after the collapse in his room

Well I could only say it's a divine punishment,. You have to atone to your sins once before you're allowed to die .

Years later, my Gramps was having stroke until he was bed-ridden. He became thin as sticks and bones and he couldn't move anything other than his head and fingers. My second mother told me Gramps is taking his punishment for his cruelty. She says Good people doesn't die with miseries and illness, they just pass away.

Nobody actually heard anything other than a dull thump. They found him multiple hours later in a pool of his own urine, completely unresponsive.

Nope. If that were true, there would be a world full of psychopaths. These are narcissists. They are highly intelligent. They manipulate people in ways that most humans cannot understand. They have no sympathy or empathy to anyone. Stalin was raised well. His mother ensured his education. He was a master narcissist. Just like Lenin. Just like Hitler. Just like Mussolini. Just like Mao. Just like Pol Pot. Just like any leader who justifies mass genocide.

Plenty of people are abused as children, but it takes a conscious decision to murder millions of your own people. His parents should not have abused him but are in no way responsible for anything that happened.

Not enough of this narrative in this comment section, children's minds are very malleable and susceptible to trauma. Subject them to abuse and, with the right genetic risk factors, they become psychopaths/sociopaths/narcissists. Can't emphasize enough how little need we have of their kind in our societies. Of course, they'll still pop up and cause suffering and chaos here and there, sometimes use opportunities to gain power and people will still follow them as if they care about anyone else's wellbeing. Sad that we've evolved into minions for absolute monsters. Let's just hope that developments in the field of psychology, psychiatry and field prevention let us sleep soundly one day.

@@m3c4nyku43 Not true. If it wasn't for Stalin killing them, is the reason why. Stalin was a Fascist who simply wasn't for the race or culture based aspect.

M3C4NYKU Facism isn’t necessarily anti communist, anti socialist or pro capitalist. Hitler hated all of them. Stalin was a facist in the way he had total control of all people in his state, and put many in working camps instead of supporting the people’s freedom.

@@marthab-c5226 I'm pretty sure Fascism is the belief that no individual is more important than the State. If you look at it like that, than yeah, Stalin was a Facsist. He was just not like Hitler. He didn't believe that Russia was superior to all other nations. He was a different kind of Facsist. Total Side Note: I think Stalin took inspiration from Maximilein Robespierre, the head of the Reign of Terror, of the French Revolution. They both ruled through FEAR. And they both suppressed their people so much, that it came back to bite them in the ass.

Nice!!!!

What you mean? Stalin is considered one of the most ruthless man in the world, especially because he lived until 1953 so the cold war propaganda could make that point.

@@sonofcronos7831 Not sure what you mean with regards to cold war propaganda, but what I'm saying is a lot of people don't realize he murdered millions just like Hitler did. Usually when you hear about the "boogy man" from history, it's always Hitler. More learned people know about the atrocities that Stalin committed, but most people aren't learned.

@@SeanUCF off course, because Hitler ideology can only work with genocide, that is the difference. Was Stalin a madman? Sure, was his ideology genocidal? No. Nazism can only work with genocide. Nazism can only work if people are dead. I not defending Stalin here, but you can say that if people agreed with him, they would not be killed, or if they pleadge mercy. But for Hitler? That dont matter, youl will die regarless if you are a part of a certain race or nation. That is the difference between Nazism and all others ideologies from human history. Is the only one (or at least the most well know) ideology that requires genocide as his part of the plan. This is why Hitler is more vilified than everyone else.

@@sonofcronos7831 Yeah that's a good point, but if the soviet empire had expanded to cover what the Nazi empire had, in terms of ethnic diversity, I think we would have seen similar outcomes. There were several groups that were treated much the same (such as gypsies and jews), but they just hadn't gotten quite to the full on genocide stage yet. It took nazi germany several years to get there, and with time and expansion I think the USSR would have gotten there as well.

@@SeanUCF you are not understanding man. The nazis did not kill because they were just a empire. A lot of empires existed, before and even after, and most of them not considered gen0cide as part of their ideology. Nazism by DESIGN includes genocide. This is the difference. Nazis did not started to kill people because they expanded, they expanded to kill people. The nazi empire was created to destroy all jews and half of the slav population. Nazism by itself includes death of people. I recommend to you a video by the channel "Three Arrows", called "Jordan Peterson dont understand nazism". Peterson also claims that nazism was just a regular empire like any other, but it was NOT, and the owner of that channel gives you the information that you need to know about n4zism, and all discourses of Hitler himself were he says that jews should not exist. So even if people lived bad in Stalin goverment, he never considered them unworthy of life just because they were part of a people or nationality, and after his death his people started to live better. This could not happen in n4zi germany, jews and slavs would have no future there with Hitler or not as long as the country considered itself n4zi.

I've long wondered two things: How many Soviet spies in America actually defected secretly, and how many more didn't because Stalin's regime would have had their families enslaved or killed. Can you IMAGINE going from the conditions described in this video, to a land where suddenly free speech is protected, food is plentiful, workers actually had some genuine rights, and the government is at least somewhat sane? No Communist propaganda could really prepare a Soviet person (especially a younger one) to suddenly handle that experience. America even with all its flaws must have seemed like paradise on earth for a lot of them.

As was Peter the Great. He modernized Russia but was terribly cruel.

UCSPanther20 Why put ‘empire builders’ in speech marks?

retsaM innavoiG If what Stalin created was so backwards, how was the Soviet Union able to send the first man to space in 1961?

@retsaM innavoiG You said inefficient so the same points still apply. The Soviets never expressed any desire to land somebody on the moon because It was completely pointless overall. Sending the first human out of the atmosphere is a far larger achievement than landing on a rock. The Soviets also launched the first satellites, space station and overall made far greater achievements than the USA regarding the Space Race. Again, none of that would have been possible without Stalin's industrialization of the nation in the late '20s and '30s.

@retsaM innavoiG First of all, saying Russia was backwards or inefficient either way still makes it remarkable that they were the first country to send a human to space, that's what I meant by 'the same points still apply.' A country that was 50 to 100 years behind the other superpowers at the beginning of the century sending the first object to space in the middle of it is incredible. I see I was a bit brash when comparing the moon landing to Gagarin's flight to space, but the fact that it was not a rich and wealthy country like Britain or the USA that accomplished it is very unexpected. You are right though, scientifically landing on the moon was much harder than simply sending a human out of orbit. As for your point about it being easy to send things to space now, it is completely irrelevant. It would be like saying somebody owning an iPhone in the middle of WW2 was not unusual simply because millions own one now. At the time, no other country had sent a human to space before, and even the leaders of the USA were shocked by it. If the US Government saw the Soviets sending a human to space as irrelevant, Kennedy would not have made the bold claim to send somebody to the moon in the first place. If the Soviets actually cared about reaching the moon, they would have done it shortly after. As for your point about Stalin, every advanced country has had some kind of genocidal and radical event that modernized it. How was Stalin's brutality different to the USA and Britain's use of slavery and harsh factory discipline during the industrial revolution? There was also a lot of bribery and corruption within the USSR, and misuse of power throughout the NKVD and GOSPLAN. To see Stalin individually responsible for 13 million deaths is actually stupid and outlandish. Every national hero has evil behind them, look at George Washington for example. He is praised for winning the war of independence, yet years prior took part in the Genocide of the Native American people.

TO SIBERIA!

You have a great point. I think many have little idea how close the Germans came to potential victory. This was NOT a repeat of Napoleon. The Soviets were losing well into 1942 and usually got crushed in warmer season battles until Kursk in 1943. Interestingly, Kursk happened around the exact same time the western Allied powers were invading Italy, forcing Hitler to divert some forces to this new threat. The other thing that I think REALLY should be noted is that 1943 is when British and American bombers truly began mass air raiding German industry (something that to my knowledge the Soviets weren't able to do well). If the Italy campaign doesn't happen when it does and the German industrial machine kept going full strength for another year, who knows what would have happened?

@@thunderbird1921 Funny you should mention Kursk, because that was also delayed for a number of reasons. One reason, it is believed, was that Hitler wanted units equipped with the then-new Panther tank to be available for the offensive, which would provide an offensive edge, but unfortunately granted Zhukov even more time to prepare his defenses, and this proved to be a mistake.

Hitler was also concerned with the rapid mobilization of heavy industry that was taking place at a vigorous clip in the Soviet Union. He also would end up underestimating the impact and reach of American lend-lease not only for England, but for Russia to boot. This is what helped save the Red Army.

....unbelievable

Serious!?

Always believable. Marxist thinking has a unique ability to refuse definitions when they're inconvenient, so that it's impossible for them to ever be wrong. Their opponents are very easy to define as wrong (even though they called 'em "rightists" not "wrongists", heh). It's exactly the same line of thinking every time it happens: "real communism hasn't been tried" ("but this time I'll do it right" is the conceit); it's why when Maoism comes along you get statements like "history has no meaning" and they'll engage in a Cultural Revolution campaign of destroying anything pre-utopia. But of course, the utopia never comes, because that's the meaning of the word utopia, if you look up the etymology -- you see, that term is still defined -- it means "no place"
