6 Disturbing Parallels Between Stalin and Trump

After attending six President Trump rallies in October 2018, the New Yorker’sSusan Glasser wrote, “The biggest difference between Trump and any other American President, however, is not the bragging. It’s the cult of personality he has built around himself and which he insists upon at his rallies.” She added that he calls to the stage other Republican politicians who flatter him with lines like “Is he not the best President we have ever had?” and he is “the strongest President we have seen in our lifetime.”
The term “cult of personality” became prominent in the twentieth century in 1956 when Nikita Khrushchev delivered a mind-boggling Secret Speech, “On The Cult of Personality and Its Consequences,” to the 20th Party Congress of the USSR’s Communist Party. In it he spoke at great length of the harm Stalin had done to the Soviet Union by fostering such a cult around himself: “The cult of the individual acquired such monstrous size chiefly because Stalin himself, using all conceivable methods, supported the glorification of his own person.” Khrushchev also criticized Stalin for branding some of his political opponents as “enemies of the people,” and claimed “Stalin originated the concept enemy of the people.
This term automatically rendered it unnecessary that the ideological errors of a man or men engaged in a controversy be proven.” (Long before Stalin, however, the Norwegian dramatist Ibsen used the term, entitling one of his plays “An Enemy of the People.”)

You're the one that said I'd get my ass kicked. I read exactly what YOU typed. Are you saying you didn't type it?
And what? What idle threat are you going to make?
Says the one that threatened me from, let's see, behind a keyboard. You assume what would happen but that's typical of your kind.
You said I'd get my ass kicked if I said that in public. That means you're the one saying you'd do it or you're admitting you don't have a clue. Either way, you lose, cunt.
Absolutely most decent men of any race would knock you flat on your butt if you said such things in public.
Stalin was raised very religious in the Greek Orthodox Church. He was named after Saint Joseph and was raised to be a priest. His father was a priest and young Joseph spent five years in a Greek Orthodox seminary.
Stalin, like all Soviet leaders, was a staunch Marxist. But also like all Soviet leaders, he had his own interpretation of the texts that formed the foundation for their belief system. In Stalin’s case, he broke from traditional Marxism in various ways.
Marx believed that Communism was a natural reaction to the failure of Capitalism. But by most accounts, Russia hadn’t ever moved past feudalism (the precursor to Capitalism in Marxian social philosophy) before the revolution.
Stalin seemed to think that was an unimportant detail and felt that the move through Capitalism to Communism could be forced. Under Stalin, Russia underwent massive, jarring industrialization and centralization.9 Much of this was facilitated by necessity during World War II, but much of it was just forced by coercion and violence.
Stalin’s view that Russia could be forcibly brought into the industrial age–and with a Communist ideology–justified his horrific crimes against humanity. Estimates of how many Russians Stalin killed in the process range from 3 million to 60 million.
Many were simply shot where they stood, many tortured to death, and many sent to forced labor camps where they died of malnutrition, abuse, or exposure. Stalin once said:
One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic.

You assume too many things. You automatically believe I'd be on the receiving end.
I get it. You threatened me on behalf of your husband?
Are you claiming Trump is a staunch Marxist?
At least you admit your husband isn't a decent man. He did marry a cunt like you. Perhaps he was only looking for one thing and you were willing to provide it quickly and easily.
Trump couldn't be further from Fascism you brain dead moron.
You don't know that you brain dead asshat. What is your point? We should do NOTHING? STFU, seriously.
Both have said so in the past week.
