RE: https://www.psicospace.it/patto-molotov-ribbentrop-accordo-tra-hitler-e-stalin/
Il 23 agosto 1939 Germania nazista e Unione Sovietica firmarono il Patto Molotov-Ribbentrop. Un accordo di non aggressione che nascondeva un protocollo segreto e avrebbe contribuito a ridisegnare l’Europa orientale.
Cosa prevedeva il patto? Perché Hitler e Stalin decisero di accordarsi? Come si arrivò alla spartizione della Polonia?

- **Description:**
> The first lecture in a ten-lecture series on Hitler and Stalin today.
>
> The first lecture (video above) is titled “What is history?” We speak often about history, but we are careless with the past. When we choose not to know what has happened before, we are also choosing not to influence what will happen after. If we don’t care about history, we find ourselves in an eternal present, denied any sort of imagination about the future, and nurtured on lies about a past in which we were innocent. History does not mean these misleading tales; it means a search for knowledge, using a certain set of tools; it means a process that enriches and humanizes, one that allows us to name things by their proper names.

The Turning Point by Otto Lacis
When farmers lease plots of land in abandoned villages today, the state of desolation they find there is amazing. Those villages are found in areas that were occupied by the enemy during the war and also in regions that the enemy did not reach. The desolation and neglect have nothing to do with the war. They were caused by the Great Turn imposed on the nation by Stalin—the turn that crushed the peasants’ initiative, diligence and desire to work.

Speech by Joseph Stalin on the draft constitution, November 25, 1936. Extraordinary VIII All-Union Congress of Soviets of the USSRThe constitutions of bourgeois countries are usually based on the belief in the immutability of the capitalist system. The main foundation of these constitutions is the principles of capitalism, its basic pillars: private ownership of land, forests, factories, plants, and other means of production; the exploitation of man by man and the existence of exploiters and exploited; the insecurity of the working majority at one end of society and the luxury of the non-working but secure minority at the other end; and so on and so forth. They are based on these and similar foundations of capitalism. They reflect them and enshrine them in law.
In contrast, the draft of the new Constitution of the USSR is based on the fact of the elimination of the capitalist system, on the fact of the victory of the socialist system in the USSR. The main basis of the draft of the new Constitution of the USSR is the principles of socialism, its fundamental foundations, already won and implemented: socialist ownership of land, forests, factories, plants, and other means of production; the elimination of exploitation and exploitative classes; the elimination of poverty for the majority and luxury for the minority; the elimination of unemployment; labor as the duty and honor of every able-bodied citizen according to the formula: “those who do not work shall not eat.” The right to work, that is, the right of every citizen to a guaranteed job; the right to rest; the right to education; etc. The draft of the new Constitution is based on these and similar foundations of socialism. It reflects them and enshrines them in law.
...
Bourgeois constitutions tacitly proceed from the premise that nations and races cannot be equal, that there are nations with full rights and nations with limited rights, and that, in addition, there is a third category of nations or races, for example, in the colonies, which have even fewer rights than nations with limited rights. This means that all these constitutions are essentially nationalistic, that is, constitutions of dominant nations.
In contrast to these constitutions, the draft of the new Constitution of the USSR is, on the contrary, deeply internationalist. It proceeds from the assumption that all nations and races are equal. It proceeds from the assumption that differences in skin color or language, cultural level or level of state development, as well as any other differences between nations and races, cannot serve as a basis for justifying national inequality. It proceeds from the assumption that all nations and races, regardless of their past and present situation, regardless of their strength and weakness, should enjoy equal rights in all spheres of economic, social, political, and cultural life of society.
...
The distinctive feature of the draft of the new USSR Constitution is that it is free from such reservations and restrictions. For it, there are no active or passive citizens; for it, all citizens are active. It does not recognize any difference in rights between men and women, “sedentary” and “non-sedentary” persons, the wealthy and the poor, the educated and the uneducated. For it, all citizens are equal in their rights. It is not property status, national origin, gender, or official position, but the personal abilities and personal labor of each citizen that determine his or her position in society.
Finally, there is one more feature of the draft new Constitution. Bourgeois constitutions usually limit themselves to establishing the rights of citizens, without concern for the conditions for exercising these rights, the possibility of exercising them, or the means of exercising them. They talk about the equality of citizens, but forget that there can be no real equality between the master and the worker, between the landowner and the peasant, if the former have wealth and political weight in society, and the latter are deprived of both, if the former are exploiters and the latter are exploited. Or again: they talk about freedom of speech, assembly, and the press, but they forget that all these freedoms can become empty words for the working class if it is deprived of the opportunity to have at its disposal suitable premises for meetings, good printing houses, a sufficient quantity of printing paper, etc.
The distinctive feature of the new Constitution is that it does not limit itself to establishing the formal rights of citizens, but shifts the focus to the question of guarantees for these rights and the means of exercising them. It does not simply proclaim the equality of citizens' rights, but also ensures that the elimination of exploitation and the liberation of citizens from all forms of exploitation are enshrined in law. It does not simply proclaim the right to work, but also ensures its legislative consolidation by establishing the absence of crises in Soviet society and the elimination of unemployment. It does not simply proclaim democratic freedoms, but also ensures them by law with known material resources. It is therefore clear that the democracy of the new draft Constitution is not “ordinary” and “generally accepted” democracy in general, but socialist democracy.
These are the main features of the draft of the new Constitution of the USSR.
This is how the draft of the new Constitution reflects the shifts and changes in the economic and socio-political life of the USSR that took place between 1924 and 1936.

Un ouvrage général, mais malgré tout pointu, sur les notions de #fascisme, #nazisme et de #RégimesAutoritaires. L'auteur parvient à couvrir, en un peu moins de 300 pages, et à l'aide d'une abondante bibliographie, les traits qui définissent ces #idéologies du début du 20è siècle. Tout comme l'a fait Philippe Burrin, dans le livre précédemment lu, il met le doigt sur ce qui distingue l' #autoritarisme du #totalitarisme, le fascisme d'autres formes d' #ExtrêmeDroite.
Cette lecture permet aussi de montrer que notre époque, même si elle présente des similarités avec cette période, s'en différencie aussi énormément. Le monde n'est plus du tout celui du tournant entre le 19e et le 20e siècle. Comme on dit, l'histoire ne repasse jamais deux fois les plats, mais elle hoquette. La détérioration de nos démocraties post-Seconde Guerre Mondiale n'a rien à voir avec les balbutiements des démocraties d'il y a 100 ans.
Il va falloir s'y faire, mais nous ne vivons pas du tout un nouveau début de 20e siècle. Nous sommes au début du 21e siècle et nous devrons trouver nos propres termes pour décrire et définir les régimes dits #illibéraux, voire les nouvelles #dictatures qui émergent aux USA, en Europe de l'Est et qui semblent plus que frémir en Europe de l'Ouest. Après tout, nos ancêtres ont bien dû en faire de même pour faire sens des régimes fascistes, nazis, catholico-conservateurs et soviétiques, sans précédents, auxquels ils ont dû faire face.
D'ailleurs, en cela, ils ont été aidés par les promoteurs-mêmes de ces régimes. Aujourd'hui, l'extrême-droite n'a plus grand-chose à voir avec celle des années 70-80. Et d'ailleurs, les promoteurs de la nouvelle #GuerreCulturelle contre le #wokisme et le #gauchisme, se qualifient d' #altright ou de #FarRight . Sans se limiter à leurs propres auto-qualifications, je pense qu'elles peuvent nous aider à identifier ces phénomènes politiques. Est-ce que Trump est fasciste? Et Victor Orban? Vladimir Putin? Tayip Erdogan? Et Benjamin Netnayahou? En tous cas, il manque plusieurs critères pour classer leurs personnalités et leurs méthodes dans cette catégorie. Ça ne signifie pas pour autant qu'ils soient moins nocifs et dangereux que des #Mussolini, #Hitler, #Stalin, #Pétain, #Salazar, #Franco de cette époque. Mais pour les combattre et résister, il va falloir les étudier dans le contexte actuel et pas simplement tenter des décalques entre eux et les leaders totalitaires ou autoritaires des années 1920.
Cependant, ce genre de lecture reste essentielle, à mon sens, pour nous aider à faire sens de notre époque, parce que, comme déjà dit, l'histoire fait des crises de hoquet et qu'il faut voir quels sont les éléments philosophiques, moraux, idéologiques et politiques qui restent, se transmettent, renaissent ou se renouvellent. Et à quoi ils peuvent contribuer à donner naissance.

„die dunklen Aspekte der Geschichte der Stadt nicht zu schönen“ ...
Die Befreiung vom Faschismus durch die Sowjetunion ist also ein „dunkler Aspekt der Geschichte der Stadt“?? Der Moment, wenn die bürgerliche Doppelmoral anfängt mit offenem Faschismus zu verschwimmen.

k9 - combatiente zeigt geschichtsbewußt: Der Große Diktator
Kurz nach dem Deutschen Einmarsch In# Polen begann #Chaplin mit den Dreharbeiten für den „Großen Diktator“: In der Satire spielt Chaplin in einer Doppelrolle den Diktator Adenoid Hynkel von Tomanien und den kleinen jüdischen Friseur aus dem Getto. Es war der erste US-Film, der gegen #Nazi-Deutschland unmißverständlich Position bezog. Chaplin ließ sich weder von ablehnender Haltung #Hollywoods noch von den Protesten aus England, wo man an das Münchner Abkommen glaubte, von seinem Vorhaben abbringen. Der Film wäre nie entstanden, wenn er ihn nicht selbst produziert und finanziert hätte. Nach der Machtergreifung wurden in Dt. alle Chaplin-Filme verboten. In #Italien wurde der Film noch lange gekürzt, um die Gefühle von #Mussolinis Witwe nicht zu verletzen. In dem Spanien General #Francos blieb er bis zu dessen Tod 1975 verboten.
Im Machtbereich des Deutschen Reiches gab es allerdings verschiedene Kopien unterschiedlicher Sprachen. Josip Broz #Titos Partisanen gelang es, einen deutschen Propaganda-Film in einem Wehrmachtskino gegen eine dieser Kopien auszutauschen.
Diesen Anti-Hitler-Film wollte die US-amerikanische Zensurbehörde zuerst nicht genehmigen. Grund, die Deutschen hätten mit #Wirtschaftssanktionen gedroht. Die Konservativen #Amerikas unterschätzten anfangs Hitlers Machtwahn und sahen ihn als großartigen Politiker, als Verbündeten in Europa gegen #Stalin. Chaplins Film passte ihnen nicht ins Konzept.

k9 - combatiente zeigt: Iwan der Schreckliche, Teil II
Sergej Eisenstein UdSSR 1944/45 - 88 min.
Sonntag, 24.3.24, 19 uhr
Historischer Stoff mit düsteren Visionen von Macht+Unterwerfung. Der zweite Teil wurde erst 1958, fünf Jahre nach Stalins Tod, von Chruschtschow zur Vorführung freigegeben.
Ein Meisterwerk der sowjetischen Filmkunst
Der Film von Sergei Michailowitsch Eisenstein #UdSSR 1945, zeigt das Leben des Zaren Iwan IV. von Russland (1530-1584) in 88 minuten - musik: Sergei #Prokofjew. Ein Meisterwerk der sowjetischen Filmkunst Historischer Stoff mit düsteren Visionen von Macht+Unterwerfung. Dieser zweite Teil wurde erst 1958, fünf Jahre nach #Stalins Tod, von #Chruschtschow zur Vorführung freigegeben.
Iwan IV. war der erste Großfürst von Moskau, der sich 1547 zum Zaren von Russland krönen ließ.
Iwan der Schreckliche - Teil II behandelt Iwans Kampf gegen innere und äußere Feinde und zeichnet das Bild des “schrecklichen“ Zaren. Iwan kehrt nach Moskau zurück, wo ihn die intrigierenden Bojaren, die sich mit seiner Tante Jefrosinia verbündet haben, bereits erwarten. Sie unternehmen alles, um den Zaren vom Thron zu stoßen und den geistig behinderten Sohn Jefrosinias zu seinem Nachfolger zu erklären.
Indem Sergej M. #Eisensteins Film den stalinistischen Mythos Iwan des Schrecklichen hinterfragte, regte er eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dem sowjetischen Staatssystem seiner Gegenwart an. 1946 wurde Teil II des Films für den sowjetischen Verleih verboten; erst ab 1958 durfte er öffentlich gezeigt werden.
Das Lexikon des internationalen Films :
der Film entwerfe „düstere Visionen von Macht und Unterwerfung“ besonders die „genial gestalteten Bildkompositionen“ würden dazu die „Dialektik politischer Alleinherrschaft“ enthüllen.

@w7voa Just what if the #CCP hadn't launched mass attacks against the #UnitedNations forces in #Korea in 1951 and given the despotic kim dynasty life support over the following decades... 🧐
What would the 26 million 'DPRK' subjects think about the 'PRC' if they only knew anything...
The Chinese #dictatorship was quite busy after overthrowing the republic of China in 1949. The communist party's private army they insist calling the "people's *liberation* army" was still hard at work invading #Tibet from 1950 onwards.
The neighbouring despot #Stalin of the #USSR had received so much #LendLease hardware from the USA during #WWII that he could afford to donate plenty to the #Chinese upstarts' war efforts. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
