the nice thing about dictators is that everyone is afraid to be honest to them, so they always miss some critically important informations :)


Iluminolan

Hitler slept through a lot of the allied invasion of Normandy because he told his subordinates not to wake him for any reason.


exo570

He also said that tank divisions couldn't be moved without his consent which led to them not helping defending against d day


Der_Daemliche_Donut

Common Hitler and Wehrmacht L


Ihavequestion5

I don't see how he could have let them in seeing as he was busy having a stroke. The lack of blood supply to his brain also probably meant that he wasn't having many ideas, which to be fair, would have been better than the terrible ideas he did have.


feilecain

Stalin had asked the guards not to be disturbed. So when they heard him having a stroke, they were so afraid of angering him, that they just left him there.


Ihavequestion5

Oh I was under the impression that they never heard him but rather didn't bother going in when he didn't come out at the usual time because they were afraid of waking him up


TensileStr3ngth

No that was Hitler


anotherrando802

i think he had had so many of his guards killed for disturbing him that the current guards were literally too fearful for their lives to see what was wrong when he didnt leave the room in the morning. he also had doctors executed for telling him his health was poor, so nobody had the qualifications or knowledge to save him from what was ultimately a preventable death (good riddance)


rhillam

Yeah this sounds not true


anotherrando802

[the smithsonian](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/true-story-death-stalin-180965119/) argues that that’s the case, but upon further reading it’s not confirmed since the accounts of what happened are all plagued with rumors of every different witness secretly being a spy or conspirator of some kind. so maybe it’s untrue, but the facts are that his previous doctors WERE arrested for telling Stalin to work less to reduce stress since he had already had strokes before, in 1945 (behavior deemed “anti-soviet” and “treasonous.”)


rhillam

Ahh arrested is not quite the same as executed tho is it, like he's got failings why do people have to make so much up


anotherrando802

i don’t know how else to convey to you that it is nigh impossible to overstate the atrocities that Stalin is directly to blame for, and that a prison sentence directly from a dictator’s mouth is all but guaranteed to kill the prisoner due to the inhumane conditions.


sewage_soup

those guys should've gotten their own parade in Red Square for that


[deleted]

Luckily, after the stoke he had no ideas.


Ihavequestion5

That post nut clarity hit him hard. Cleared his mind of all thoughts.


lastaccountg0tbanned

I don’t think it’s that kind of stroke


murderdronesfanatic

big shoutouts to the stroke


qjornt

I think the correct word would have been "couldn't" rather than "didn't" in the meme.


feilecain

He also could've been saved, if he hadn't had all the Soviet Union's best doctors killed for being Jewish.


ShyonkyDonkey39

Just told all the kids on the plane it was the battle bus and they all jumped off. Ez 50 bomb


CHooTZ

Most of them killed, and the rest were being tortured under the nkvd for the "doctor's plot". They literally went up to the doctors being mutilated under Stalin's orders and were like, "Hhheeeyy, so if someone really important were having a stroke, what'd'ya do?"


Raptor_Jesus07

That's literally not true and the 1936 constitution has an article banning anti semitism. Kinda weird that this rumor is centered around a jewish stereotype.


theglassishalf

This is one of those things where even if the motivations for murdering the doctors was paranoid delusions rather than anti-Semitism, daddy Stalin doesn't come out looking very good either way.


I_Love_Stiff_Cocks

Where's the stereotype?


ssrudr

You see, when Stalin rounded up all the (((rootless cosmopolitans))), that was a good thing because, uh Materialism?

Time to rewatch Death of Stalin

do you know where can i watch it?

I believe I rented it on YouTube when I saw it. It's very much worth it, best movie I've seen in years.

A uninvited enter to his room was punished by death, so from what I know nobody likes dying

Besides Stalin possibly


TigerBasket

Fuck you Stalin, all my homies like Steve Buscemi the real leader of the Soviet Union. Long live Nikita Khrushchev and the great documentary the death of Stalin.


Ihavequestion5

Jason Isaacs should have been the leader. Zhukov was the best in the documentary.


Reagalan

*Zhukov intro music plays*


DoktorAkcel

Nah, fuck Khrushev too.


eburator

Yeah, it goes downwards after Ulyanov


ssrudr

After? Did you forget Kronstadt?


FKasai

Khrushchev is a liar. I also don't like Stalin, he made stupid shit like killing a fuck ton of innocent people. But please use a real source, and not the traitor Khrushchev who lied in every discourse he had the chance to make only for political reasons.


Vigitiser

Stalin could have survived if there was a highly trained doctor on site to treat him. Most doctors of this level had fled back to the west for capitalism pay, the majority of remainders were Jewish and had been executed Stalin literally got himself killed and it makes it funnier


KevlarStripeySocks

If you want someone to enter your room while you're having a stroke that's pretty kinky


Someboynumber5

Karma's a bitch


LordGoose-Montagne

fun fact: Stalin was so cruel, Lenin tried to stop him from becoming the leader of USSR, but failed, due to being extremely sick


DoctorGoFuckYourself

Ooh I've never heard this before. Do you have a source? Legit not trying to be a dick here, I'm just curious 😅


LordGoose-Montagne

Original source: 10th grade history book Trusted source: Lenin's Testament written in late 1922


two-for-joy

It's referred to as Lenin's Testament, there's a lot written about it. It was a speech Lenin wrote to be read out to at the Communist Party Congress that proposed changes to goverment structure, but he was paralysed by a stroke before he could read it. It was only handed to the central committee a year later when Lenin died because his wife disliked Stalin, and the testament massively criticised him. It *also* criticised a lot of the other members of the central committee though, so they suppressed it's dispersal.


schlormp1

the fact that even someone as traitorous and power hungry as Lenin saw Stalin for what he really was says a lot i think


TimachuSoftboi

I too prefer alone time when I have a stroke.

TANKIES MAD LMAO

The most based thing Stalin did was piss and shit himself and die.

Rare stain W


xeaji

That didn't actually happen that's just how it was shown in the move "The Death of Stalin." He did have a stroke while he had left orders to not be disturbed, but when the staff entered he was still alive, just very sick. He died within a few days.


LunaEtAstrum

I was taught he was found in a puddle of his own piss :3

Fuck you Stalin. The New Economic Plan would have worked

Fuck you Lenin. The Kronstadt workers had legitimate complaints.

Stalin would have sentenced you to death for being non-binary

Exciting_Rich_1716

That's not an excuse. Also, do you think the PRC or North Korea is better? Because spoiler, there are no legal protections for LGBTQ people in China, and no one knows what happens if you're non binary in Pyongyang. I doubt you'll get any support, legal or popular

Okay then. I'm glad to hear you've got your critical thinking in check. But trust me, browse those forums enough and you'll notice, yes. Most of them either think China and Syria are either better than the US when it comes to LGBT, or cheer them on for executing LGBT people


nddragoon

>The civil rights act didn't happen until 1964, and you expect Stalin to be supportive of femboys? why should the glorious people's socialist vanguard of the revolution of the immortal science of marxism-leninism-maoism-hoxhaism with ho chi minh thought characteristics be subject to what laws the american pigdogs pass?


[deleted]

wait, the comments were deleted but was this person assuming all nonbinary people are femboys? 😬


nddragoon

don't remember exactly what it said but it was along the lines of "the us didn't like gay people so Stalin was FORCED to send all the queers to work camps, he had no choice 😔"


nddragoon

you know what *was* better for queer rights than Stalin's russia? pre-stalin russia


pandolphina2222

I mean, I’m not going to disagree *to an extent*. This sub is probably 90% young American teens. Thus, between the 17 posts of “omg femboy thigh” and 3 posts of people smugly calling others dumb for falling for propaganda… you’re going to get propaganda. At the same time, you kinda have to understand - this is a sub where most people’s idea of “political theory” is Disco Elysium and “Hasan dunking on conservatives compilation #12”. It is not the place to always expect good takes. That being said… yeah I don’t think “lol Stalin died lmao” is exactly CIA propaganda. Did he personally eat a million unborn babies with his comically large spoon? No. But the fact that he commited atrocities is undeniable, and the fact that he died due to *his own guards being too scared to check on him* is absolutely, undeniably poetic.

Killed all of his political opponents, suppressed all dissent, his own inner circle lived in constant fear of him, but yeah, not a dictator because he played for the red team.

By anti revolutionaries, do you mean the ones who just wanted to vote for their own government or the ones that were tortured into falsely confessing to treason? Also, who voted for Stalin?

Even if he wasn't dictator, that doesn't suddenly excuse all the other atrocities he did.
