First thing, I read that Stalin had many doubles, who would do speeches, and public events. He had every right to be fearful of capitalists and those who would be against creating a communist state. If it were Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez or Mao Zedtung, or any other communist past and present, they have the right to be fearful and be protected. They are leading a revolution, and are basically super important to the entire movement. Why do you guys think he would have doubles, protection, or?? And should modern communist and anarchist leaders have doubles? If Bob Avakian or anyone for that matter, led a revolution, I think they should be able to have doubles in secret. They would need protecting. Thoughts?
My other thing, I think the USSR was almost fully communist, but because they had to face the Nazis, they were unable to abolish the government, and it set them back until Stalin died and Democratic Socialists took over. They had some minor issues like Trtosky who I think was the same kind of communist as Stalin, but personal issues is why they didn't like each other. They had free food for all, and government housing, and almost 0% unemployment. If Stalin didn't die, and they didn't face nazis, I think by 1960 they would have been 100% communist.
Thoughts? Anyone able to help me read up on this stuff?
