Uh huh. If you think this charade of yours is fooling me, you're mistaken.
Of course I do not know why with any certainty, nobody but those that were there can really know. This is fundamental to history, where records were written by people, who have biases and ulterior motives. We can only suspect when it comes to people's reasons for doing things.
This does not mean my answer is not an answer, though. An answer ... is an answer. You just don't like it I guess.
True. I was kinda hitting back at this idea that the USSR was getting lots of credit for anything good that happened there, but when it came to their fall, well, that was all our fault.
I generally agree with your other comments as well.
That is a very easy thing for you to say. It is, however, an answer, even if you think it is incorrect. You haven't even tried to take mine on, however. Do you need more time or something?
I think my argument about how it's not actually physically possible to be unable to resign was rather compelling.
Regardless I have answered your question, even if you dislike my answer. I have certainly tried at least. Can you answer mine yet?
I actually have addressed that one with other commentators, if you check out the rest of this thread.
They've clearly seen them before, at least on tv, but that is different from learning what they are called. It's not too unusual to just not know the name of something, and then you have to describe it to people instead of just naming it.
"awning" is not a particularly common word, like say, "kitchen" or something. I kinda doubt most, say, 14 year olds know that word.
Hint: Most memes are probably not made by adults.
You quoted part of a sentence. That was part of a question. Questions and claims are not the same things.
But sure, this should explain how Stalin rose to lead the USSR:

I fully agree. I was more interested in a conversation on communism and history, so my comment took the conversation in that direction. Personally I support social democratic systems like you find in the Nordic countries.
Russia has more arable land than any other polity on our planet. I find it awfully suspicious that famines were somewhat frequent, and so conveniently not his doing. China had a long history of famines, but they're often weather-related. A famine requires a good excuse, you can't just be like "oops". Otherwise you should be fixing it before the humans all starve, which takes weeks at a minimum, usually much longer since there are some things to eat.
Thank you for your reasonable response btw. I'm enjoying this conversation with the people that are willing to actually have a serious one. I know I probably look like a troll, but I'm really not trolling.
Rather than link, I'll just repeat myself. It is physically fucking impossible to be unable to resign. You can be talked out of resigning, but when a man genuinely wants to resign, he does so. Claims of being unable are claims.
History only has facts when a lot of people agree on something. When one guy claims he was doing very good things, you must consider that he lies.
I think you're finger-pointing. The brainwashed one is me, even though you're discussing a former world leader, all of which employ propaganda.
