What did Lenin Think of Stalin?

When Communist kept asking Joseph what he thought of Lenin he never answered...he just kept Stalin .

Lenin had a complex view of Stalin. In his later years, he grew increasingly wary of Stalin’s concentration of power. In his “Testament,” written in late 1922 and early 1923, Lenin criticized Stalin’s authority and suggested that he be removed from his position as General Secretary of the Communist Party. Lenin believed that Stalin’s temperament and excessive power could be dangerous for the party and the revolution. Ultimately, Lenin’s concerns foreshadowed the authoritarian direction that Stalin would take after Lenin’s death in 1924.

Lenin on his death bed: "Stalin, I don't think you should be the next leader. I'm afraid that the people won't follow you." Stalin: "Do not worry. Half of them will follow me. The other half will follow you"

Lenin warned about Stalin’s excessive power and suggested his removal from leadership, fearing he would abuse it. Imagine how history might have changed if Lenin’s warning was heeded!

Lenin: Don't let that jerk Stalin get the job of party leader. By the way, who did I make in charge of giving people their jobs? Guy: That would be Stalin Comrade Lenin: *Dies

Let's go another amazing banger love from chi-town my brother

Lenin and Stalin liked their politics, but didn’t like their performances

Yes!!! Uploaded 25minutes ago, one of my favourite history channels

The authenticity of Lenin's Testament is very questionable because first of all it wasn't even called Lenin's Testament but was rather simply called Lenin's letter to the Congress. Secondly his other works which were dictated to his secretary by him during the same time frame had been signed like for example this _Better fewer, but better (January-March 1923) and On Cooperation (Jan 4-6 1923)_ but the Testament was unsigned and what did the Testament say about Stalin that he was too rude? He couldn't be entrusted power? Needless to say it would have been uncharacteristic for Lenin to criticize someone behind their back or conspire. Also taking matters personally and being offended or holding grudges would have been equally unlike him.

Lenin in deathbed, Lenin: Hey whoevever is in charge of giving people job tell him to never make Stalin next chairman. By the way, who's in charge of that? Assistant: That would be Stalin, sir. Lenin: BLEH!! 💀😵😵(Dies with this reaction)

Nicely done video

Lenin though Stalin was a bullish foo he can use to get things done, and would be easily discard when the end was achieved by whatever means necessary. Little did he know the means that you achieved what you wanted very much had a will of its own. By the time he realized it, it was too late. And I highly doubt that even if Lenin was in good health that he would control Stalin, eventually he would be defeated like how Stalin defeated all of his rivals

Nice reference in the thumbnail

Stalin complaining about Lenin's smallish stature while Lenin being 165 in height and Stalin 165-168 is just so funny

The story is interesting (and AFAIK truthful) but the main map is absolutely weird: Belarus ("White Russia", literally) was also a distinct republic, bolshevik and allied to Red Russia since day one of the German evacuation, while the areas of Russia controlled by the "Whites" fluctuated.

I always got mixed up with the ideology of Lenin and Stalin this video has actually solved my confusion thank you

Very informative and good for my A Level History

Lenin: "Hey, tell whoever I hired to give out jobs to not let that jerk, Stalin, get control... By the way, who did I put in charge of handing out jobs?" Comrade: "That would be Stalin, sir" Lenin: 💀

Stalin thought about when Lenin would release new album.

🤔 . . . Do a part two of this video. I want to see a checklist of sorts & such.

Damn, Lenin without the stasche looks like Antonio Banderas.

Lenin did create the monster that Stalin was, in the end he tried to undo his mistake, but it was to late. This doesnt make what Lenin did less evil. Stalin was a real terror.

Very interesting

Where are the sources for what Stalin said when meeting Lenin? I have never heard that.

This is the issue these revolutionaries have with having a beast on their side, they have an outlandish view they can tame the beasts to their whim. This is fundamentally the biggest contrast between the American revolution war, to the French and the Russian revolution wars. First off, the founding fathers were mixed in still retaining some hope to be a part of the British empire but it was Parliament and King George III that pushed the American congress of the colonies to seek a resolution to make their own government that will listen to the people. Their priorities were first to not overthrow a monarchy, but to abolish it from the land they resided in. They didn’t seek vengeance but defending their rights that were being stripped from them just because they were colonies. The French attempted to make their king submit to the new government but the moment the king and queen attempted ed to flee the hostile environment, it broke whatever remaining trust their was and amplified giving power to the beasts of society. In the end, all of France paid the price, decades of hostility and suffering, revamping their republic, over and over. And did Karl Marx learn anything from this revolutionary war? Nope! In fact he amplified it and gave more power to the monsters of society to then butcher the term of “republic” into a loophole of a utopia of supposedly a class-less society yet not dropping the standards of a strict class regiment. And Lenin learned too late he looked at the wrong philosophies to inspire a revolution, he had the ideal environment of how Zsar Nicholas was handling things, but Lenin gave too much power to the beast, Stalin, and Stalin’s technique of ruling with an iron fist is how Lenin was bound to lose. And the outcome of Stalin’s regime is forever Lenin’s legacy to give that tyrant any hold of power in his revolution. The American founding fathers were not perfect, thank God they understood this and were able to bring anyone in any other founding father that got carried away with power. 🙏

The root of all Stalinist arguments is whether classes and class struggle exist in countries where socialism has been established. Obviously, classes and class struggle still exist in socialist countries.

Lenin was probably unimpressed and Meh about Stalin until Stalin cussed his wife openly. Stalin is honestly lucky that didn't end him.

At least both men, the faithfulness for communism political project in Russia gathered them. Stalin was a suitable successor of Lenin .he was a successful office administrator and a brilliant political systems organizer .but Leon Trotsky was a dreamy, revolutionary speaker and talkative ,successful militia organizer and leader..

The biggest historical what if. What if Lenin lived another ten years. Would the Soviet Union still be going today. Would it be worse or better?

That he was an unsophisticated thug, but one that is on his side.

Bro really used the same thumbnail style from the Kaiser Wilhelm vs Painter from Austria video 💀

I'm confused. If they had a deep love and understanding of Marxism, why weren't they Mensheviks. Mensheviks, as Orthodox Marxists, wanted to create a capitalist society that could industrialize and develop the economic and social necessities to support a communist state. Marx was thinking about places like Germany, Britain, or the United States when he was writing and very much NOT states that were barely out of serfdom, poorly educated, and underdeveloped.

Good luck with showing me historic period which has ukraine borders in shape presented in your map

Video #4 of me saying: Bro you must stop using AI to write your scripts

If that’s not free and fair, I don’t know what is

In countries where the socialist system has been established, do classes and class struggle exist?

Oh yeah what a great guy Lenin was.

Its funny we all think Lenin Soviets would be better but ask yourself this. Would that Soviet had survived WW2? Remember Lenin was let go by the Germans in WW1 so he could sow discord and that he did. I think Stalin was the type of evil that came in the nick of Time to go toe to toe with the evil painter

The right choice of an investment has always been a big problem for me I know picking a wrong investment will leave a big scar in the future

Classes and class struggle still exist in socialist countries, otherwise the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries would not have disintegrated

Never listen to an american talk about other countries politics, ever.

Hey, wanna make video about how Islam and Christianity came to Indonesia? As an Indonesian, Islam didn't really come with trade like most of popular historians believe especially to what happened with my ethnic groups, an indigenous ethnic group in the middle of North Sumatran jungles and Bukit Barisan mountain range near the largest vulcanic lake in the world. In 1539, Aceh was having war against Portugal, during the war, Acehnese sultan wanted to dominate Sumatra and Islamize the entire island, Acehnese Sultanate invaded my ancestors's land when one of our king refused Islam. Aceh faced difficulties during the war since my ancestors were known for their tropical jungle fighting skill, then they bought & hired Ottoman weapons & mercenaries to invade us, our people freaked out then asked Portugal to help 'em to stop the invasion of Aceh and Ottoman Empire. In the 1810s during Padri War, an Islamic civil war in Minangkabau, Padri soldiers heard a cannibalistic pagan tribes in the middle of North Sumatra who remained as pagans, the Padris sent envoys to our kingdom to demand our people to leave our paganistic religion and became Muslims but got rejected. After the rejection, Padri soldiers invaded our kingdom and massacred 200.000 people and arrested our king, when he refused Islam, they executed our king for not accepting Islam, they brutally ransacked our villages/cities & massacred my ethnic groups who refused their religion. They were failed to conquer us when a cholera outbreak happened thanks to dead bodies that leaked cholera. After they failed to conquer us, our ancestors were devastated after watching our ransacked kingdoms and dead relatives even cholera outbreak happened and severely decimated our population. My ancestors became hostile towards outsiders/foreigners. Years later, a couple of US Baptist missionarists came and introduced Christianity. Too bad, the locals thought they were another hostile foreigners/outsiders and they caught & ate them. Before Christianity came, my people were pagans who had cannibalistic culture/rituals. My ancestors conducted cannibalism towards people who did terrible crimes such as rape, murder, or treason. A defendant was brought in front of judge, if the judge found the defendant conducted heinous crimes, he/she would be tied on an altar then a shaman who was also executioner would recited some mantras and slashed the defendant's body before beheading him/her and being eaten by people. POWs were also eaten back then. Before Christianity, my ancestors believed if we ate people, it'd grant us magical strength. We also did child sacrifice ritual by sacrificing li'l boys to gain black magic. Besides cannibalism and child sacrifice, my ancestors were known as jewellery makers and weavers. A German missionarist came and introduced Christianity among my people. He built schools, hospitals, etc. But a lot of kingdom citizens hated him coz Christianity could destroy our culture and religion such as our cannibalistic rituals. There're some reports that some people tried to assassinate him to stop Christianity from destroying our old faiths and culture but failed. Cannibalism and child sacrifice were eventually banned when Dutch colonial regime imposed anti cannibalism law towards us after annexing us in the 1907. If Christianity never came, perhaps my people would still do capital punishment in form of cannibalism and child sacrifice. Unlike other Indonesian regions which were colonized for 350 years, we only got conquered in 1907 when Dutch soldiers succesfully assassinated our priest king. Dutch faced difficulties at fighting a cannibalistic nation in the middle of Sumatran jungles near the largest lake in Indonesia

Lenin felt that Stalin had more power than he could handle and might be dangerous if he was Lenin's successor.

Stalin was ossetian
