someone should-
oops!
Someone should write about how "keeping markets competitive" is a silly goal because the tendency towards consolidation in monopolies is organic and reasonable and unstoppable, and about why the battle should instead be about the justified takeover of these monopolies by workers.

Only anti-communists would repost forgeries such as "Mass migration must stop - Karl Marx" which twist the content of the provided Marx quote pretty much into its opposite.
*LENIN* must be considered a much more thoughtful student of Marx than "damn_jehu" at this point.
Only idiots think a huge global floating population of desperately poor proletarians is something communists should encourage.

Rejoice that you saw Marx once more last autumn, you will never see him again. Yesterday afternoon, at 2.45, when he had been left on his own for barely two minutes, we found him peacefully asleep in his chair.«

Great thread!
Lets not forget that socialist countries did this without engaging in colonialist trade relations or financial capital export. Most of them were/are anyway hit hard by economic DISintegration through imperialist embargoes, effectively cut off from world markets 🤢

The Soviet Union did not become capitalist, or imperialist, or colonialist after Stalins death.
The Soviet Union only lost its role as vanguard section of the world proletariat throughout the 1950s.
It took the revisionists *decades* to deteriorate & destroy socialism in USSR.

This "RTSGtm" publication is a flawed USSR praise:
1⃣ It reduces USSR to Russia and the international communist movement to USSR
2⃣ It reduces socialist revolution to a debt cancel program against foreign banks
3⃣ It reduces imperialism to a "west" full of "puppets" & "elites"

Marx is a communist.
Engels is a communist.
Lenin is a communist.
Stalin is a communist.
Communists fight for »the transformation of capitalistic private property … into socialised property« by means of »expropriation of a few usurpers by the mass of the people« as Marx put it.

all that "space race" stuff in 50s-80s also really shows how USA started focussing on military aspect of space travel, while soviet & interkosmos focus really came from science.

Stalin did not "kill millions". There was a CIVIL WAR in 1917-1923. Blaming all people on both sides of that war or on both sides of World War 2 to be "victims of Stalin" is, among other things, a grossly reductionist cult of personality.

COMMUNISM IS THE MIDDLE TERM
(poem by Bert Brecht)
To call for the overthrow of the existing order
May seem a terrible thing
But what exists is no order.
To seek refuge in violence
May seem evil.
But what is constantly at work is violence
And there is nothing special about it.

Stalin is not just a Marxist theorist or a politician to quibble about "correctly".
"STALIN" is a social phenomenon: a slogan, a battle cry, even an icon, for millions of workers, peasants and oppressed peoples struggling against imperialism & fascism and for peace & socialism.

"Failure" in this context is a pretty idealist teleological category anyway.
People struggled for communism long before the Soviet Union even existed.
People will struggle for communism even if imperialist ideologues bury Soviet Union 10 times a day.
