Dear comrades,

As we all know there are two soviet eras pre and post death of Stalin. We all know Khrushchev basically did a coupe detat, by killing all Stalinists and also by starting the anti Stalin propaganda. We know he was the cause of the Soviet Sino split.

But what exactly caused the split? What policies did he push that were reformist or capitalist in nature ? How exactly did he fuck up? I know the results, but I lack in knowledge of the causes.

    Okay, but Khruschev’s not Gorby.

    And you already give an example of insight that historical research and reading can provide.

    Thanks for proving my point.

      The point stands - memoirs alone are not a reliable source, his or Gorby’s. Conceptually

        The point doesn’t stand because we don’t know that due to the difference in character.

          What is it that we don’t know (due to the difference in character)? I am genuinely lost. What does that mean?

            You know what that means and, if you say you don’t, then I accuse you of playing coy.

            haha

              I don’t, please don’t presume what I know. Please explain yourself, in good faith

                  No. I’m sorry, I’ll just stop here. It would be better to finish this conversation, I don’t like the way it is going.
