minus-squareCandelestine@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·1 year agoWhat claim did I make that I now need to back? That Stalin took over the USSR, or something else? Regardless, I can’t help but point out how obviously you are avoiding my single, very reasonable question.

minus-squareCandelestine@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoYou quoted part of a sentence. That was part of a question. Questions and claims are not the same things. But sure, this should explain how Stalin rose to lead the USSR: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin's_rise_to_power
minus-squarediegeticscream[all]🔻@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·edit-21 year ago You quoted part of a sentence. That was part of a question. Questions and claims are not the same things. It was not a question. This is the full quote of your original claim: Figure out a way to implement communism without creating a Stalin that takes advantage of the situation to seize power, and we can talk. Your implications are: that Stalin was bad. that Stalin wrongly “seized power”. that Stalin wrongly held onto power. I asked: “If Stalin was so intent on seizing power, why’d he try to resign so much?”. I think that neutralizes all three of your implied claims. You have not answered.
