I am deep diving into Josef Stalin's rule of Russia to get a better idea what is happening now in USA.
so, Guantanamo... Fort Bliss...
Stalin let 26 million Russian civilians die during WW2 a number I checked after Trump recently proclaimed 'russia lost 26 million' in ww2 as if that makes them allies or heroes.
Stalin let 26 million Russians starve to death during WW2.
Both Trump and Stalin brought revolution to their nations by forcing a radical economic theory on their countrymen, knowing many will suffer and die, but both stalinists and trumpsters believe that sacrifice is worth it, to bring about their revolution.
comment from Bluesky
Yeah, I grew up in socialist Czechoslovakia, and I see it. Problem is, even after Trump is gone, many people on top will be invested in a dysfunctional system for the sake of power. Olivette Devaux @olivette-devaux.bsky.social

in November 1901.[33] he travelled to Batumi.[34] His militant rhetoric proved divisive among the city's Marxists, some of whom suspected that he was an agent provocateur.[35]
Though Stalin came from poverty, both men rose in their
careers in spite of criminal records. From Wikipedia, as Stalin rose in the communist
party, he 'raised funds via protection rackets ' and ' organised
the June 1907 robbery of a bank stagecoach in
Tiflis to fund the Bolsheviks' then later 'Mensheviks
confronted him about the robbery and voted to expel him from the RSDLP, but he
ignored them.[62] '
They voted him out but Stalin ignored them. So both Stalin
and Trump share the trait of ignoring legal decisions against them and
plodding forward.
Trump has been convicted of 34 felonies, and it did not stop him.
Stalin, who edited newspapers including Pravda, was definitely smarter than Trump, who makes up for his ignorance using wealth to advantage instead.
'In 1907 Stalin reassembled his gang,[67] which attacked Black Hundreds and raised money through racketeering,
counterfeiting, robberies[68] and kidnapping the children of wealthy figures for
ransom.[69]'
WOW THERE'S
MORE WOWOW
STALIN rose up to leadership in the party through a 'personality cult'
HERE IT IS.
Stalin ensured his leadership by surrounding himself
with low IQ loyalists, like Trump is doing.
'As General Secretary, Stalin had a free hand in making appointments to his own staff, and implanted loyalists throughout the party.[198]
'Favouring new members from proletarian backgrounds to "Old Bolsheviks", who tended to be middle-class university
graduates,[199] he ensured that he had loyalists dispersed across the
regions.'
'the desire for promotion led many to seek his favour.'[202]

Stalin lacked compassion,[646] possibly exacerbated by his repeated imprisonments and exiles,[647] though he occasionally showed kindness to strangers, even during the Great Purge.[648] He could be self-righteous,[649] resentful,[650] and vindictive,[651] often holding grudges for years.[652] By the 1920s, he had become suspicious and conspiratorial, prone to believing in plots against him and international conspiracies.[653] While he never attended torture sessions or executions,[654] Stalin took pleasure in degrading and humiliating people and kept even close associates in a state of "unrelieved fear".[605]
