The events of the Russian revolution were the greatest in all human history. For the first time, the exploited masses fought back and won. The revolution birthed the most progressive state the world had ever seen, with the Communist International - led by Lenin and Trotsky - becoming a beacon of internationalism, inspiring workers and poor everywhere.
And yet, within 10 years, the Soviet Union had degenerated into a bureaucratic and totalitarian regime. The Communist International went from a harbinger of world revolution to a tool for the narrow, national interests of the Soviet bureaucracy, with Stalin at its head.
In this session, Rob Sewell will discuss the main processes that led to the degeneration of the Russian revolution, answering the question: What is Stalinism?

Almost everything you've said is an outright lie. I suggest you look at professional Russian historians like Spitsin, who refer to archival data, therefore the only reliable data. Lenin was never an advocate of world revolution at any cost, on the contrary, it was Lenin who demanded from the party not to follow Trotsky, who is the most famous advocate of world revolution at any cost. It is Lenin who advocates and implements socialism first in one country. According to archival data, Stalin is the most slandered statesman in the last 200 years. If it wasn't for Stalin, who, as I say, only followed Lenin's path, Russia would not have moved away from plows and oxen, we would not have what is called in Europe the "State free health insurance" that was first introduced by Stalin in the USSR, we would not had free education, we wouldn't have space research anywhere near what we have today, women wouldn't be in the best social position ever.... in the end, we wouldn't have defeated fascism. Do you think that the Soviet generals without Stalin's organized state alone defeated 80% of the best German equipment and the best German soldiers? Who transferred 2000 companies beyond the Urals, beyond the range of German aviation? who transferred 5 million workers, engineers, organized accommodation, food for those people, supply chains, etc.? Finally, why do you think the inhabitants of Stalingrad still call their city that way today?

I had a discussion about our future (present) while I was in highschool social studies class. He described to me his hatred for communism was founded on his disgust toward the Holodomor genocide. I proclaimed to him that Stalins verson of the U.S.S.R. was communist in name only. "There has never been a real communist society in history" I told him, I was not convinced by their version of history that Stalin was infact a genuine communist, for he betrayed his comrades in search of personal power. Even then I could see the decline of capitalism in action. I warned him "The history books are warnings of our future" for I could see the similarities between the rise of facism in Germany circa 1930-1939 and our very own society in North America. I proclaimed to him that I would become a communist, for I believe that it is the only path that doesn't lead towards the destruction of our humanity, the earth and all of it's inhabitants.

Let's move on, ladies and gentlemen. The incredible industrialization in the USSR from 1929 to 1941 was the work of Stalin. The idea of ​​accelerated industrialization was present before and was advocated by Trotsky and Lenin and Zinoviev, etc., but you need to know how and when to implement it. Many people said in 1905 that man could fly into space, so why didn't they? Stalin first implemented collectivization, which enabled two basic assumptions for industrial development - intensive food production by consolidation of estates and the introduction of mechanization, which solves the problem of hunger and, secondly, frees the workforce from the countryside for new factories, because so many people are no longer needed to cultivate the land. By the way, other countries did this too, only in the 19th century - America provided workers for factories by allowing larger landowners to drive smaller farmers off their land and thus created a working class for factories. In France, the labor force for factories also came from the countryside, and that was because a law was passed that people in the countryside could have only 1 child, and those who went to cities to work in factories could have more children. Stalin introduces 5-year plans for the development of the state and achieves annual growth of 15% !!! For the Chinese today, we think they are incredible, and they had 7% growth in the last 25 years? All this was done in the complete blockade in which the USSR was. Politically, since 1929, Stalin won all the elections in the USSR, which were not bourgeois but Soviet, but they were elections. By the way, before that he lost the elections, like in 1926 to Bukharin, and he did not whine and shout around that the elections were stolen, as Trotsky shouted when he lost the elections. Stalin passed a new constitution in 1936, which for the first time in world history prohibits racial, religious and national hatred!

What is funny in all this story with RCP and IMT is that they always forget to mention that USSR was destroyed thanks to troskists that overtook Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1953 and initiated “Perestroyka” in 1985. And this is exactly what will happen next time if troskists will be allowed to build socialism and communism again.

Just a reminder that Trotskyists are not communists. Stalin was a Leninist. Denying Stalin's legacy and politics is also going against Lenin.

People are thinking about Palestine, cost of living, elections, ......and you are busy making videos about old subjects. I looked through your videos and there is hardly anything relating to peoples everyday problems. This is where you (we) are failing. Focus should be mostly on people not intellectuals.

The basic antagonism between the social nature of work and the restricted ownership of property remains, irrespective of the precise legal form of bourgeois ownership of the means of production on the one hand and the changing form of the social character of wage labour on the other. Whilst classical (Western) capitalism was characterised in the nineteenth century by the individual capitalist extorting surplus value directly from his factory workers, in the twentieth century this gave way to new forms of capitalist control. State ownership of the most important means of production has not altered their capitalist nature as the property of finance capital, which is the real form of capital in the imperialist era. Nor does the predominance of national and multi-national monopolies in the form of joint-stock companies (acting as “social” capital) mean the end of capitalism’s basic contradictions but rather exacerbates and extends them by giving them an international dimension. Engels recognised this long ago when he explained that:

Some one criticised one of my posts here because I said Lenin made errors. So Lenin was an infallible God? Lenin was not so innocent either. "When reading Lenin’s book, “Left-Wing” Communism: An Infantile Disorder, you get the impression that on the one hand: Lenin was inspired by an unprecedented historic victory of the proletarian party, but on the other hand: he was pretty drunk on the cult of his own personality that was born of this victory. On the one hand, he justly pointed out some mistakes of the Left Communists, but making it the peremptory tone of the “leader of the world proletariat” he, at the same time, adopted the right-wing positions of bourgeois political science.

Can someone explain to me, why when Lenin bans all other parties and takes away the power of the soviets it is a necessity to defend the revolution, but when Stailin prosecutes political opponets, which may or may not have been terrorists and may or may not have colaborated with Japan and Germany, it is Stalinism and bureaucracy?
