Imagine being Uncle Joe as you visit Berlin. You fly over a bombed out shell of a city, ruins still crackling to the tune of raging fires. Nothing but a blackened hellscape. A smile comes across your face, you turn to your aids and say "Good job everyone!"

Originally we were just going to permanently deindustrialize Germany and turn them into France's agricultural fiefdom. We started breaking down all their factories. Eventually we sent Herbert Hoover (former president, autist, and man who made his fortune from a Chinese treasure map) to see how it was going. He was like "great. I mean we're going to kill 80% of them but yolo." The state department quickly rethought their plan. Meanwhile all their factories were sent to Russia lol owned

Stalin was worse only in the sense that he was an abusive drunk and none in his inner circle was safe from him. Hitler was a split personality who was nice to those around him for whatever that is worth. Also, BRING BACK LF.

I'm rethinking my list with this new information.

stalin story: he got a job at a factory where the owners promised a reward for any employee who helped save the factory in event of diaster/fire/etc. stalin sets the factory on fire and then helps fight the fire, to get the reward the owners refuse to pay out the reward to the workers because they suspect an inside job, so stalin convinces the workers to go out on strike. the owners+government bring in troops to control the strike stalin convinces the other striking workers to charge the troops, telling them that there's no way the troops will shoot because it'd be a national scandal the striking workers get shot by the troops exactly as stalin expected, which makes the entire situation 10x worse lol

Effectronica posted:Stalins economic policy was just a softened version of Trotsky's and both of them were basically trickle-down economics with rich people replaced by Gosplan bureaucrats. They at least had the fear of being shot to motivate them, and an economy simple enough for a handful of people to collectively understand. How did Stalin have a softer version of Trotsky's policy? Industrialisation was full on under Stalin according to most people, so it'd be good to know what Trotsky was going to do differently. I don't know how you get the idea that it was trickle down economics either, that's a weird way of putting it.

Trotsky's plan for the USSR was basically to keep revolutioning, and make every effort to spread the revolution to neighbouring countries. Essentially constant war against neighbours until they are all reds, dunno how that translates into economic policy but it is quite possible that they would have to prioritize poo poo differently if they planned to be constantly at war and in revolution.

So Stalin's policy of industrialisation that got them the tanks, guns and supplies needed for war was the softer version of Trotsky's policy of declaring war on everybody immediately. That kinda makes Stalin the pussy bitch of the two.

Industrialisation was full on under Stalin according to most people, so it'd be good to know what Trotsky was going to do differently. I don't know how you get the idea that it was trickle down economics either, that's a weird way of putting it. Dekulakization and collectivization were policies of Trotsky and the left wing of the Bolsheviks during the period after Lenin died, prompted by Yevgeni Preobrazhensky, who argued that the only way to achieve industrial development was to suck as much money out of the rural peasantry as possible and use it for centralized capital investment. Stalin, on the right wing of the Bolsheviks, opposed those policies, but eventually adapted them after exiling Trotsky and rendering Bukharin irrelevant, starting in 1929. However, where Trotsky urged immediate destruction of the kulaks and collectivizing farms, Stalin implemented it more slowly, rendering it at least somewhat softer than the original idea, though he did cut urban workers's wages below survivability to force women into the workplace. Trotsky did a 180 on those policies in exile, either (if you're a cynic) because of opportunism and Stalin implementing them or (if you're an idealist) because he didn't consider the human cost until seeing them in action. In any case, the basic idea of wealth in the hands of the poor/working class only being used for the purchase of goods and services and concentrating it with an elite of wealthy investors/trained bureaucrats is something common to both voodoo economics and Preobrazhensky's interpretation of Marxism in light of the USSR's circumstances. It's hard to argue with the results, since it took the USSR to the point of challenging the USA in less than twenty years, but of course it started to show its failures as the USSR transitioned into a consumer economy.

there's some article floating about the internet that shows it would take modern supercomputers literally decades to figure out optimal economic planning for just one year in the soviet economy of the 1980s. and it's assuming the data fed to the computers is 100% accurate and nobody fudges any numbers or lies about production. and that's for an economy like a tenth the size of the US's modern economy, and it gets exponentially harder as the economy grows
