Thread: Lenin: Good or bad?

I want to be as polite as I would like to be. The alleged famine and deaths were timed when Hitler invaded Stalingard, Leningard and the food basket, Ukraine. Ten years after the war, were there famine casualties? None!

Yesterday was my nomination to act as Chairman of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army. I don't know what transpired last night. But rumours were I was a close second. Hence, maybe I would be next. I am serious because there were serious flaws in the way Americans portray Stalin and Lenin. They were all false rumours. As I said I want to be as polite as you want me to be. No offense.

I will also try to be as polite as possible. You see, during the famine of 1932-1933 caused by the rapid industrialization policy, Hitler was unable to invade neither Stalingard, nor Leningard nor the food basket, Ukraine. He was only appointed chancellor of Germany on January 1933 (Adolf Hitler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). The invasions you're talking about happened almost a decade later.

Don't worry, I can't be offended. Let me clear the atmosphere a little bit. Lenin didn't start industrialization. On the opposite, Lenin started the New Economic Policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia which actually meant a step back to the capitalism. That helped to overcome the shortage of food cause by the civil war. By the time Stalin started the industrialization, there was no widespread shortage of food. But, the country was an agrarian country. The industrialization meant putting an end to the New Economic Policy drastically increasing the industrial output at the expense of drastically lowering the agrarian output. That caused the famine, but the Politbureau headed by Stalin didn't care much, because mostly the famine killed the peasants, which by that time were by large part the foes of the Communist regime. So, like you said, there are lots of false rumours about Lenin and Stalin.

I'm confident the Communist Party of the Philippines would be lucky to have you as the Chairman. By all means, that would continue the glorious tradition of having the Communist Party rulers, whose education leaves a lot to be desired.
