“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.

"[S]ix million people were sent to the #Soviet #Gulag. A quarter did not survive. Another 16-17 million were transported to strict regime #laborcamps, where the death rate was around 10%.

Within these numbers are the names of tens of thousands of #Jews of every kind, from the devout #hassid to the #assimilated #Communist.

#Stalin’s rule was fortified by spies who believed that they were repairing the world and saving it from the ravages of #fascism. The most effective of these were five young idealists who were at #CambridgeUniversity in the 1930s and who bore witness to the rise of #Hitler and the march of #Nazism across Europe.

#TheCambridgeFive: #GuyBurgess, #DonaldMcLean, #KimPhilby, #AnthonyBlunt, and #JohnCairncross sold their collective soul to Stalin.

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.

Disarray: Alarm inside #Pentagon after #Hegseth staff purges

Since #Trump’s first term, they have been viewed comfortingly as the “adults in the room,” a last line of defense against the impulsive whims of a president with access to the #nuclear codes.

After unprecedented wave of #firings that has been compared to #Stalin’s purges, Pentagon top brass no longer seem like such a reliable bulwark

#Jahrestag von #Stalins #Säuberungen:

Braucht Wladimir Putin einen neuerlichen „Großen Terror“?

Die Logik von 1937 lebt im Schatten des #Kreml weiter. Von #Stalins „ #Säuberungen “ bis zu #Putins #Repressionen.

Am 5. August 1937 begannen in der #Sowjetunion die blutigsten #Säuberungen der #Stalin-Ära. Sie dauerten bis November 1938 an. In der #Publizistik wird diese #Kampagne als „ #GroßerTerror “ bezeichnet; im #Volksmund als „1937“.

@Remittancegirl not sure how many people get the reference (sometimes I feel I am a survivor of a world the culture of which is only known to me and one crazy anthropologist). So here goes. You can then admire not just the deliberate bad photoshop, but the genius in parallels.

Sorry, aber meine Geduld gegenüber auch linkem #Relativismus ist nicht unbegrenzt. Von #Stalin über #Mao und #Polpot bis zur deutschen #RAF zieht sich eine Blutspur auch linksdualistischer Gewalt und oft auch #Antisemitismus durch die Geschichte bis ins Heute. Aus dem fossilistisch-linksdualistischen #Venezuela ist ein Viertel der Bevölkerung geflohen! „Links“ ist nicht einfach „gut“, sondern benötigt ebenfalls ehrliche Selbstreflexion! https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/fossiler-ressourcenfluch-verschwoerungsmythen-auch-venezuela-bestaetigt-die-these/

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.

@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)_/¯
