PostSubject: Defence of Stalin's USSR   Sat Feb 02, 2008 1:52 am

Before the Second World War, was a Stalinist Soviet Union worth defending as it had the potential to become a true worker's state, or was it's descent into bureaucratic tyranny to great?

It was indeed worth deffending it because it could have evolved into a socialist nation had Stalin applied the proper policies.

But Stalin had no intention applying such policies.

Yet they could have been applied regadless of Stalin's eagerness to do that or not. USSR was a worthy state.

I suppose Khrushchev could have once he came to power and I think he tried, just not hard enough, but it couldn't have happened while Stalin was still alive.

Khrushchyov just increased capitalism within USSR, he could have implemented socialist policies but he simply made people more accustomed to market and consumerism.

It was an attempt to bring the soviet union out of Stalinism and into a state where socialism could be built properly but he didnt try hard enough

Socialism can't be implemented with capitalism. Socialism, being the transition to communism requires the State to start building and organizing the communist infrastructure and gradually eliminate capitalism. Khrushyov simply increased the use of market and consumerism to alleviate Soviet economy increasing people's accustomization to a capitalist Society. The bases put by Khrushyov made Gorbachyov's reforms to be easily applied to USSR.

Corruption is one of the freedoms allowed both by money and ambigous legislature.

As far as I understand it it was also an approach to capitalism though probably could have been a transitory attempt.

And Khrushchev didn't intend to permanently make the USSR capitalist.

If he didn't intended to stablish capitalism, then really he didn't try well enough.

Stalin was a fascist son of a bitch, therefore would never have a socialist nation.

Stalinist totalitarianism isn't quite fascism and after the thaw there was potential for a workers state but the Soviet Union was still too bureaucratic for afterwards.

In any case, this is not an example of an exemplary socialist society.
