Stalin (lemmygrad.ml)
 

Painting from the year 1944. Can't read author's name (in bottom right corner) because it's too small.

 

Y'all probably have already seen it, but I'll still post this beautiful poster here. Quite sad to think about how the relations between China and USSR became some years later...

No, Feliks Edmundovich Dzerzhinskiy was director of the Cheka. Stalin's "original name" was Dzhugashvili (hope I spelled that one correctly...).

"I was born after the dissolution of the USSR, and I spent most of my life in America. Let me explain to you how terrible life under communism was."

The most upvoted answer begins with:

I personally don't think anarchists can really plan that far ahead. Anarchism is more a process than a end goal.

That's literally your problem, anarchists...

The only other time I've seen him wearing that hat was at the artillery manoevers some months ago:

Look how the girl is arranging the bricks. That's authoritarian! She's infringing on the bricks' freedom! She must be an anarcho-tankie secretly!

"Anarcho-tankie":The only place where I saw that term was an western anarchist take that's so bad, it's hilarious. Apparently, "anarcho-tankies" are anarchists who are actually concerned about getting things done and not unquestioningly accepting western propaganda. (Honestly, that's what to be expected of Raddle. I avoid that place, but someone posted a link on the dev instance, and I was too curious not to click... If you want to laugh and/or cry at it too, see: https://web.archive.org/web/20200903171225/https://raddle.me/f/Anarchism/117740/the-disturbing-trend-of-anarcho-tankies-we-ve-been-seeing).

"Good" answer "except" for the "excessive" amount of "quotation" marks.

Good point about our imagination being limited by living under capitalism. I honestly just never considered that... As far as I know, under socialism, people still have a specialized profession. But you're correct, communism may well be different. Having a more generalist lifestyle is an interesting thought... Could anyone here share any sources to read more about it?

Why does a communist society imply working both on the fields, as engineer and as administration for a few hours each day? (Not like I'd be too opposed to that, I just don't see why it would be like that under communism.

Sorry for being so clueless, but what is "cancel culture"?
