Study Stalin!
The unique historical phenomenon of Stalin is that he is a genius standing on the shoulders of a genius standing on the shoulders of geniuses!
Stalin is not just the leader of the greatest state in history and the leader of a powerful group of states, all freedom-loving peoples and progressive people, he is a student of Lenin, Marx, Engels, the embodiment of their ideas, a popularizer, an architect, an adaptor, a modernizer, an innovator.
The ideas of Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism are distinguished above all by their scientific nature. After all, without knowing HOW, WHAT, and WITH WHAT POWER, it's impossible to achieve so many accomplishments in a few decades, especially under those harsh conditions . Take a closer look at our modern Russia: even since 2014, what achievements and breakthroughs have we seen? Have we been forced to achieve some industrial growth due to sanctions? Have we built skyscrapers and a couple of bridges? Have we launched government services? Have we been battling Bandera-esque scum for four years?
It could have been worse, but… how does all this compare to the Stalin era? It's enough to make you dizzy from the stagnation, the standstill, and the failure.
The bourgeoisie, reactionaries, and imperialists are trying to bury, silence, conceal, distort, and misrepresent him! But here's the thing: silencing Stalin is impossible !
Why is it impossible? Because historical truth, like a mighty tree, breaks through the asphalt of lies. Because the significance of this gigantic figure in human history is so immense that it can be seen even from afar, through the fog of time and the haze of slander!
We see how the oligarchy's lackeys are forced to slyly maneuver. They're trying to rally the people by profiting off the great achievements and magnificent victories of Stalin's USSR. Their propaganda machine, like a pathetic apparatus of deception, is trying to impose a so-called balanced view! Some say it's good, others say it's bad, and we're supposedly in the middle, thus being objective...
This is the method of a market trader. A method of mechanical addition, where the client himself decides what to put on the scale and what to remove. They call it analysis in its entirety. One must ask: is it really possible to discover the historical truth in this way, with this accumulation of figures and gossip? No, it's impossible.
We must counter this bourgeois objectivism, this conciliatory falsehood, with a scientific, Marxist-Leninist understanding of history. Only this scientific understanding allows us to see phenomena in development, in motion, from the perspective of progress. And what is progress? Progress is not a vulgar summation of pluses and minuses! Progress is a leap! It is a transition from one quality to another, a higher one!
The essence of this leap lies in a sharp increase in society's productivity. So, it turns out that progress is about cooperation, when society becomes more homogeneous and cohesive. This is perceived as justice . When workers receive ever greater opportunities to develop their abilities, and in doing so, for the benefit of society, that is, for the benefit of everyone and the future. When moderation triumphs over the elements , science triumphs over obscurantism , and creativity triumphs over parasitism .
Yes, bourgeois society was more progressive than feudal society, but Stalin’s USSR was a million times more progressive than any imperialism of the 21st century !
And what is the role of the individual in this flow of history? An individual operates within specific conditions, and their greatness is measured by how deeply they understand these conditions, how accurately they see the path of progress and accelerate it. The higher the intellect, the stronger the spirit, the more scientific their thinking—the more accurately a person reflects the objective demands of social existence in their minds, the more closely their practice corresponds to the needs and potential of the people. This, and only this, gives the individual a remarkable, historical role.
The Stalin era was an era of tremendous progress, and Stalin, as a leader, a thinker, and a practitioner, was a great figure whose genius and scientific thinking defined his significance. He was able to play this role because he was a diligent student of the greats: Lenin, and a follower of Marx and Engels—titanic pioneers.
A people liberated from the chains of tsarism, from the oppression of landowners and capitalists, a people who, for the first time in history, had built their own workers' and peasants' state—these people, swept up in the euphoria of great construction projects and great victories, naturally glorified their leaders! Was there a certain naiveté in this? Perhaps! But there was not a grain of hypocrisy or vulgarity in this; it was genuine, popular love!
And the roots of this love lie not only in emotions. They lie in Stalin's enormous, real role as the helmsman of the party, the architect of communism, the leader!
One might object: "But do Marxists have authorities?" Yes. On the contrary, without authorities, no revolution is possible. The workers' movement needs authorities like air. The authority of a leader is not a formal authority born of fear and violence, as in a class society. The authority of the leader of the revolution is a moral guarantee, it is the trust of the workers, the certainty that the leader knows the path to victory because he is competent, experienced, and unbending in spirit!
Just three years after Stalin's death, some of his comrades revealed themselves to be arrogant careerists and degenerates. Led by the cunning and empty-headed Trotskyite Khrushchev, and supported by the self-proclaimed politician Marshal Zhukov, they, following the precepts of their spiritual teacher, Trotsky, slandered Stalin. Their motives were roughly the same as those of today's politicians. Their weapons were the two Ds: democracy and demagoguery. Their shock troops were politically immature youth and opportunists who had been disgraced, repressed, and then amnestied.
This, unfortunately, is the reality of class struggle within the party. Failure to take this into account has cost all communist parties dearly. After Stalin's death, the Stalinists proved weaker than the anti-Stalinists. And they all fought formally under the party banners, so that neither the masses of party members nor the people could understand anything.
And what did those scoundrels, the Khrushchevites, proclaim? They brought to light a rotten, jaded Trotskyist theory, alleging that some principles of collective leadership had been violated in the Party, and that the so-called cult of personality was to blame.
At the 20th Congress, they did it shamefully, surreptitiously, and vilely. Khrushchev's speech was full of lies, distortions, and filthy insinuations. And then, elated by impunity, at the 22nd Congress, the opportunists unleashed their full force.
What was the anti-Stalin lie? It turns out that the fight against the terrorist underground from 1936 to 1941 was merely a settling of personal scores, a ploy to intrigue. As if there had been no real, brutal counterrevolution and terrorism. As if Tukhachevsky, that "brilliant commander," had fallen victim to a Hitlerite provocation, and Stalin had been paranoid! Reading the transcript of that shameful congress, it's clear that this is not a document of the Communist Party, but a catechism of rabid liberal-Trotskyism!
How could this be? How did they manage it? Just eight years after Stalin, they managed to push through such a blatant revision? First of all, Khrushchev defeated the Stalinist group with intrigue and, in Trotskyist fashion, falsified the composition of the congress, flooding it with five thousand delegates. He promoted the youth: two-thirds of the participants had been party members no earlier than 1941. Although fighters and devoted to the party, they lacked the necessary theoretical training. They were easily deceived by bombastic phrases and Trotskyist demagoguery. Khrushchev diluted the party, weakening it theoretically and morally. And the party masses and the people blindly followed the CPSU, considering the reassessment of Stalin and the revision of Stalinism unimportant.
It went unnoticed that Khrushchev repeated Trotsky's account of the leadership's degeneration. The irony is that he, not Stalin, was the degenerate. Khrushchev committed other crimes against Marxism as well. He declared that wars were no longer inevitable, that socialism had already been built and there was no return to capitalism, that the main issue was peace, and that he would build communism by 1980. Khrushchev and his gang generally did everything contrary to Stalin's instructions and earned a humorous reputation in the people's memory.
When we look at the historical paths of the revolutionary giants, we must understand the most important thing: what was the secret of their invincibility? What was the key to Stalin's victories?
Don't listen to the enemies of the people, the enemies of progress, and the fools: Stalin's strength lay not in bayonets, not in orders, not in administrative resources. Stalin's strength lay in his powerful, creative thinking, in his brilliant, clear-as-a-mountain-spring understanding of the laws of social development, the forces and resources at his disposal, and in his wise use of personnel . Even Khrushchev, under Stalin, worked in the Stalinist style!
History has known many military leaders, rulers, reformers, and revolutionaries. But Stalin stands alone in world history as a figure who, having understood these iron laws and precisely considered all the conditions of his era, was able to realize the possibility of subjectively accelerating progress on a vast scale in the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and China. All this became possible because Stalin continued Lenin, and Lenin continued Marx and Engels, and Marx and Engels summarized all the theoretical thought and historical practice of humanity.
Stalin was no wizard or superman. He was a scientist at the helm of a party and state that, for the first time in history, relied on the working class . The chain was built: Stalin—the Central Committee—the party masses—the working class—the collective farm peasantry—the entire Soviet people. And then—through the authority of Bolshevism and the USSR—the leadership of the international workers' movement, the oppressed peoples of the world, especially in the colonies and semi-colonies!
Who, where, and when can compare to Stalin's influence on history? Stalin's influence was based on persuasion through scientific knowledge and logic.
How was this steely will and brilliant mind forged? Primarily through knowledge and literary study. Through selfless, conscientious, painstaking work and self-improvement. For example, hunched over a tiny table by the light of a kerosene lamp in a fishing hut just inside the Arctic Circle, Stalin spent two and a half years poring over philosophical, economic, and Marxist literature in Russian, German, English, and French. He even struggled to obtain books and brochures. This is how Stalin was forged: not in comfort, but in deprivation; not in idle chatter, but in work, in self-improvement!
It's embarrassing to even talk about these times. The road is paved now, books are available at the click of a mouse. All that remains is a moral and willpower effort to pull yourself together, stop whining, and stop inaction.
Learning to think like Stalin isn't easy. It requires a great deal of work. It requires acquiring a wealth of knowledge and mastering materialist dialectics ( diamatics )—the very weapon that allows one to see the essence of phenomena, not their outer shell.
The surest way is not to chatter about Stalin, but to study him. Study him! Take and work through all 13 volumes of his collected works. These are his thoughts, his analysis, his strategy and tactics. But even that isn't enough! To understand Stalin, you need to understand Lenin—at least the core of his 55 volumes! To understand Lenin, you need to understand Marx and Engels—dozens more! And to understand his method, you need to master Hegel's "Science of Logic."
The challenges facing workers and all of humanity can only be met by standing on the shoulders of giants .
