“Haha” ... (I would have laughed back then).

But honestly, I wouldn't be surprised today if Ratcliffe's visit had been about reviving the #Hitler - #Stalin Pact.

I think Ukraine is on its last legs. It’s clear that a solution must be found without nukes.

A #Trump - #Putin Pact: What was Poland back then would be all of #Europe today.

We all know how that turned out - including Putin.

As a former KGB agent, he’s surely aware of the trustwortyness of psychos like Hitler or Trump ..

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?

Patto Molotov-Ribbentrop: l’accordo tra Hitler e Stalin che spartì l’Europa orientale

@emilyenco people who believe in a 'vanguard party' believe in an elite; and in every #MarxistLeninist state that has ever existed, that elite has arrogated to itself huge privilege. This isn't to say that #MarxismLeninism is 'the same as' or 'just as bad as' #Fascism, it clearly isn't. But the reason that #Stalin felt it more important to crush the #AnarchoSyndicalists in the #SpanishCivilWar than to defeat the #Fascists is that they were more of a threat to his so-called #Communism.

I'm not defending #Thompson or any healthcare CEO, but #BrianThompson wasn't #Hitler or #Stalin.

As #Plato illustrated in his book "Republic", the easiest way to tell if an action is right or wrong is "if everyone did it."

## Description:
In **Hitler and Stalin Today (MUN180H1-S)**, Timothy Snyder examines the Nazi and Soviet responses to the new globalized world they shared. The course begins with the colonial background that made totalitarianism possible, and which remains an essential element of our politics now. Their ideologies are described as worldviews and as practical politics, with an emphasis on the reasons for their appeal. Attention to their policies of mass killing, essential events of twentieth-century history, instructs us about how "it" can happen here. The study of dissident thought helps us to see connections between historical predicaments and our own, and instructs us about possible reactions as individuals and as citizens. The course asks what we have learned from the twentieth century and what lessons we should carry forward.

As I recall, there was a chap called Trofim Lysenko (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trofim_Lysenko) who was both anti-Mendelian & pro-Lamarckist. His #influence on #Soviet #biology was absolutely disastrous, & he was single-handedly the cause of much of the #crop #failure, & ensuing #malnutrition, that happened in the #SovietUnion under #Stalin.

The Trump administration's campaign against energy-efficiency policies is driven more by politics and support for fossil fuels than by sound energy or economic policy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/07/23/world/energy-efficiency-communist-plot/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #zohranmamdani #republicans #democrats #gregabbott #texas #newyorkcity #newyorkers #donaldtrump #departmentofenergy #stalin #environmentalprotectionagencygeorgehwbush #climatechange #electricity

> 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.
