The Man of Steel is back to smash Trotskyism, Cosmopolitanism and Capitalism!
Bye bye Trotsky and modern fake Leftists! Look at our black soviet boots, postwar punks! Joe Stalin is back! Trotskyites and anarcho-marxist punks will soil their pants! The modern Left is a joke! HAIL STALIN! ICE !!!
Are you ready for a REAL STALINATOR? A REAL REVOLUTION?
If you are a phony postwar "Leftist" and think Nationalism is wrong and there was no difference between Stalin and Trotsky or your cosmopolitical bullshit, be careful what you post because if it's childish or stupid, they WILL be deleted. I'm left-wing, what are YOU?
When the Wehrmacht invaded Russia in 1941, the Soviet defences collapsed. The size of Russia did, however, give Stalin time to think and what he came up with was really a nationalist branch of economic Socialism (National Socialism). Stalin revived the old ranks and orders of the Russian Imperial Army to make the Red Army simply the Russian Army and stressed patriotic appeals in his internal propaganda. He portrayed his war against Nazi Germany not as a second "Red" war but as "Vtoraya Otechestvennaya Vojna" -- The Second Patriotic War-- the first such war being the Tsarist defence against Napoleon. He deliberately put himself in the shoes of Russia's Tsars, though he was left-wing like all great revolutionaries.
Russian Nationalism proved as strong as its German equivalent and the war was turned around. And to this day, Russians still refer to the Second World War as simply "The Great Patriotic War". Stalin became a nationalist Leftist when he saw how effective that was in getting popular support.
