Stalin’s “Socialism In One Country”—A Century of Disaster

A century ago, from December 18-31 of 1925, the 14th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union—the first congress following Vladimir Lenin’s death—endorsed the policy known as “Socialism in One Country.” The policy argued that a single country could construct an advanced socialist economy within its national borders.

Stalin’s “Socialism In One Country”—A Century of Disaster - ISA

'Socialism in one country' argued that a single country could construct an advanced socialist economy within its national borders. This was a complete reversal of the Bolsheviks' previous internationalist position.

Please stop spreading revisionism mate. There are thousands of documents showing that the west manufactured the anti stalin stance with billions of dollars.

The following books show very well how, why and when they did it and how ridicolous the notion of "evil stalin" is:

- losurdo's stalin - history and critique of a black legend
- gerhard schnehen - stalin, eine marxistische biographie
- rockhill - who paid the pipers of western marxism

There is no use to keep spreading it.

Read Lenin's Last Testament https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1922/dec/testamnt/index.htm

"Stalin, having become Secretary-General, has unlimited authority concentrated in his hands, and I am not sure whether he will always be capable of using that authority with sufficient caution. Trotsky, on the other hand, as his struggle against the C.C. on the question of the Commissariat of Communications has proved, is distinguished not only by outstanding ability. He is personally perhaps the most capable man in the present C.C."

Please read the books. This last "testament" is likely written by his wife and has been a strong deviation from all of lenins other writings. I urge you to at least read in good faith. That is the least a real marxist would do.

You're using bourgois debate technique. Lenin quotes are not a weapon. His writings are meant to be taken in context. Please start engaging in good faith.
