No, I'm not talking about superman, I'm talking about Joseph Stalin. He was born on Dec.21, 1879.
Tyrant, cold-blooded murderer, evil, and all of the other nonsensical epithets have been hurled at this Revolutionary, and plenty more. The trouble is, anarchists and other petty bourgeois radicals take this assessment by the bourgeoisie unquestioningly, and it makes them sound like the editorial board of the new york post. Why the fuck would you disbelieve everything else the bourgeois dogs bark out, but somehow it's okay to accept their verdict on this man, and his era?
Revolutionary, badass bankrobber, escapee from prison ( five times!), he got kicked out of a seminary for taking up Revolutionary ideology, sneaking out of the school at night, and organizing meetings with the workers. His mother never did get over the fact that he didn't become a priest.
Read this excellent assessment on Stalin . Do yourself a favour and read someone's work who really gives a shit about getting to the fucking truth. And read more here.
I'm not asking you to be commie automatons. Just fucking think, instead of being unwitting imperialist dupes, which most of us are, and we don't even fucking realize it.
Happy Birthday, J.V.S.
