If you are unable to answer the post why not just ignore it instead of calling the poster names? So I'll ask something that you might be able to answer: if the USSR did not practice Marx what economic systems did the USSR practice?Who should decide what label to put on a nation's government and economic system? Should it be the nation itself, that decides, or others, if others who? For example who has the authority to say America is a capitalist nation and not a communist nation?
What are you....a moron????

"October 1917: The October Bolshevik Revolution
Encouraged by revolutionary leader Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, who had returned to Russia from exile in Germany, in October 1917, the radical Bolshevik workers' committees of Petrograd voted to stage an insurrection led by industrial workers against the forces of the Provisional Government. The Provisional Government surrendered without a fight, leaving the Bolshevik party of the workers and peasants in power. In the weeks that followed, Bolsheviks gradually forced non-Bolsheviks out of government. The United States and the Allies watched with concern as radical socialists seized control in Russia and threatened to pull Russian troops from the battlefield.

I was waiting for some dope to use that ridiculous excuse.
He despised businessmen.
His road to the presidency was over their corpses.
He didn't alter his attacks on businessmen until the reality of the coming war impinged on his class warfare.
From the Prologue of “FDR Goes To War: How Expanded Executive Power, Spiraling National Debt, And Restricted Civil Liberties Shaped Wartime America” by Burton W. Folsom Jr. and Anita Folsom…
1. “Earlier, during national elections, the president could use class warfare and federal subsidies to win votes. …But when wars came, they must be won. Few remembered the Panic of 1873- or even who was president then- but everyone remembered the Mexican War, the Spanish-American War, and, of course, the Civil War. U.S. presidents could fail when they worked to end depressions, as FDR had shown, and still survive politically- if they had a viable scapegoat….Lincoln was great because Lincoln was a successful war president. His high taxes and abuse of civil liberties were largely forgotten. If the forthcoming war were lost, FDR could, of course, attack business again for not making enough weapons. But historians would still hold Roosevelt accountable for losing any war on his watch!”
2. Careful students of the Roosevelt presidency knew that war must be near because FDR had decided to change the tone of the political debate in Washington. For almost eight years, Wall Street bankers and corporate leaders had been his favorite scapegoats for explaining why the Great Depression was persisting. The premise of his New Deal, after all was that businessmen had failed and that government should regulate, plan and direct much of the American economy to break the hold of the Great Depression.”
3. On May 16, 1940, Roosevelt had addressed Congress and asked for more than a billion dollars for defense, with a commitment for fifty thousand military aircraft. He knew, also, that he needed the good will of business to win the war: no longer would he call them “privileged princes…thirsting for power.”
4. On May 26, 1940 his Fireside Chat signaled a new relationship with business: he would insure their profits, and assuage their fears that he would nationalize their factories.
a. “…we are calling upon the resources, the efficiency and the ingenuity of the American manufacturers of war material of all kinds -- airplanes and tanks and guns and ships, and all the hundreds of products that go into this material. The Government of the United States itself manufactures few of the implements of war. Private industry will continue to be the source of most of this material, and private industry will have to be speeded up to produce it at the rate and efficiency called for by the needs of the times….Private industry will have the responsibility of providing the best, speediest and most efficient mass production of which it is capable.” On National Defense - May 26 1940
What's your next excuse to save Roosevelt from the contumely he...and you....so richly deserve?
Try again...and I'll shred it again.
So you love how the Romanov dynasty treated the peasants and the Jews? You have no idea the brutality meted out by the dynasty...10. The Romanov executions has been the subject of great interest, then, and now.
It is the iconic description of Bolshevik....communist....governance.
There are many descriptions of the event....
"Tuesday, July 16 began uneventfully for the Romanovs,.....
And while there is no indication that the children were aware of their impending fate, two of the guards got cold feet and said they would not shoot the girls. They were sent away.
After evening prayers, they went to bed. In the early hours of the following day, they were wakened and told that the White Army was approaching and might launch an artillery attack on the house.
They were to go downstairs for their own safety. The Tsar got up immediately, the women put on their camisoles sewn full of jewels and pearls, as they had rehearsed for a rescue attempt or sudden flight.
At 2.15am on July 17, they were led down to the basement.
Anastasia carried her sister Tatiana's little Pekinese, Jemmy, down the stairs. They were ushered into a storeroom, lit by a single naked bulb.
Next, the family and their servants were lined up as for a last, sinister official photograph.
Then they were left alone for half an hour, as their assassins downed shots of vodka.
Re-entering the room, a guard read out a statement sentencing the family to death.
The faces before him registered blank incomprehension. The family crossed themselves, and a man walked towards the Tsar and shot him at point-blank range in the chest.
Other guards fired, as his body crumpled to the floor. Half drunk, the guards shot clumsily, hitting the Tsaritsa in the left side of her skull.
Next to her, poor lame Alexey, too crippled to move, sat transfixed with terror, his ashen face splattered with his father's blood.
The moans and whimpers from the floor testified to a botched job. But it was the children who suffered most.
None of the Romanov girls died a quick or painless death. Maria was felled by a bullet in the thigh, and lay bleeding until repeated stabbing in the torso snuffed out her life.
Her sisters were eventually finished off with an 8in bayonet, Olga having been shot in the jaw, and Tatiana in the back of the head as she tried to escape.
... turned into an orgy of killing, with only the thick clouds of gunpowder smoke obscuring the full horror of it.
Last of the women to die was Anastasia. A drunken guard lunged at her like an animal, attempting to pierce her chest with his bayonet.
Eventually, the head of the hit squad, Yakov Yurovsky, took his gun to her head.
Alexey alone was still alive, the young heir to the throne. He was wearing an undergarment sewn with jewels, which acted as a flak jacket. Yurovsky fired his Colt into the boy's head, and he slumped against his father.
It had taken a frenzied 20 minutes to kill the Romanovs and their servants. In the panicked moments that followed, Yurovsky's men staggered from the room, choking and coughing."

FDR didn't give Stalin the thing he hoped for most, a second front in 1942, nor in 1943 and finally the front was established in 1944. Wonder if Stalin had any comments about that delay.The disciples of marx have been infiltrating governments and their agencies since well before the bolsheviks finally conquered a state for them. They were responsible for the "anachist" movement in the US which created riots and actual wars in the steel and coal industries, as well as having assasinated President McKinnley. They had so fully infused theselves into the democrook party that FDR went right along and gave Stalin everything he asked for.
They've infected out schools, our entertainment, our industry and our politics. They must be defeated in the arena of ideas, and they can be considering how many millions of people they've had to slaughter to gain control of countries and maintain it.
You should research your government jesters (the historians you reference ad nauseam).

It takes quite a while to train, equip and mobilize millions of soldiers. However a second front was the Africa Campaign and we put men and material in there almost immediately. The invasion of western europe was not something any sane person would flippantly endeavor to do, so I don't care what a mass murdering savage despot like stalin would have to say about it any more than I care what a bed wetting liberal has to say about anything.

No. I was addressing your comment about Uncle Joe's crying for a second front. Ignoring what Americans were doing in Africa, Asia, and Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It seems some forget that America was fighting a two front war too. Many seem to think the Russians did all the fighting, apparently you are one of them.And what about the failure at Dieppe in August 1942?FDR didn't give Stalin the thing he hoped for most, a second front in 1942, nor in 1943 and finally the front was established in 1944.

You are correct, but are you now thinking along the same lines as FDR and the
American military: don't invade until the nation is ready, no matter what Stalin wants. In the interim we will hold Stalin's coat and save many American lives.
In the meantime, Stalin, waiting for the second front, will stay in the war and not surrender as Russia did in WWI. Chalk up another for America and FDR.
Seems like Stalin got outmaneuvered by FDR. In the end it was the US that survived, not Germany, not Japan and not the USSR. Now some posters in their zeal to downgrade FDR are trying to find some way to change history. We won and FDR was our leader. Might try the birthing thing or as some did the FDR was Jewish thing, or historians are communists or FDR.... Have at it, it was all done before and done better than today's Republicans.
