Streakers in the todays footbal world-championchip finale - Stalinists in russian police
| ...fall back into the old patterns of authocracy again. A first hint on that is the statement of a police-officer that was examining the streakers. He said that he regrets it is not 1937, because back then estate would have dealt much better with them. (1937 was the year when the first wave of the stalinist purges)
While in most other countrys such a statement would have consequences, in russia history is re-interpreted in strange ways, including a positive view on stalin.

Stalin was an estate capitalist. He took away power from the proletarians and gave it to buraucrats and secret services that were loyal to him. That's why todays conservative/right-winged capitalist russia has a positive review on him.
"Socialism was bad, but Stalin was great"
"Revolution was bad, but Dictatorship was great"
This is their way to re-interpret history. While the west stalinism is always used as a killer argument against the anti-capitalist opposition.

You could only elect bureaucrats that wanted to make career and were loyal to papa Stalin and the Party elites. Critizise them was too risky, even if it was no general critique on the communist/socialist idea. I agree that strong state was needed, especially in the early years of revolution. But it went wrong when stalin declared "socialism in one country" stopped exporting revolution and become a imperialist power.

Btw. I am no anarchist. But not to see that the USSR became exactly what it was meant to fight against is stupid. Stalin was a power greedy, paranoid anti-humanist, without any ideals and mercy. With the hitler pact, he even allied with the worse enemy the socialist revolution ever had.

I crossed the road while the signal was red. Do I deserve death penalty now for this illegal act?
| >>363377 socialism in one country was the only way for USSR to survive (and USSR supported revolutionaries world wide during and after Stalin) without antagonising the west even more. And all that shit that Stalin was "evil" is pure propaganda. Stalin was pragmatic like Lenin and did what he had to.

You joke about it but by crossing the red light you are pratically putting other lives at risk

| The todays football world championchip finale (france vs. croatia) was interupted by four streakers.
A little later the anti-government activist group "pussy-riot" declared themselves to the action.
While streakers are no unusual phenomenon in footbal games, russia - the host of this championchip - experienced an unexpected phase of openenness, which was even reviewed positive in the tendentiously anti-russian-government western media.
But now it is to be feared that russia will...
