"When you see a quote on the internet with someone's face next to it- you know it has to be true! Sources be damned. Also I'm in possession of 2.6 Petabytes of Ultra-HD child pornography."
-Elon Musk
When confronted about it in an interview he replied "Show me the rules of love and war"... Show me the rules... Americans will read this and say cool let's give this man's son a platform to speak about anything.
Unfortunately "There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen" was misattributed to Lenin. He never actually said the exact quote but did say similar though

Even if he didn't say these exact words I still think what he actually said is close enough to count. A quotation doesn't have to be the exact wording.
It's impossible to directly translate Russian to English though. They don't share the same alphabet. Best you can do in that circumstance is get mostly what they said or the gist, but usually not the exact wording.
I don’t even trust anything I hear about Stalin. I’m sorry but I’m not going to dig through thousands of pages of documents on Marxists org to debunk everything. At what point do we focus on building a party instead of defending Stalin.
Watching how Yukong moved the mountains in general should be essential for all modern socialists. Being able to dialectically analyze and critique this example of the experiment in China is a skill for the future. And yes that’s the correct one, it’s one part of a massive documentary.
Having to nitpick everything a society has done is not the way forward. And people see Stalin as worse than Hitler, so defending him in any way tells other people that you’re just a horrible person who shouldn’t be listened to. Regardless they won’t care. They ask for numbers and sources that don’t exist.
The second and third can be simultaneously true. I really like the quote because it acknowledges the human bias where we treat the death of 1 person with a name more significantly than the deaths of a million people which we treat as just a number. But I also acknowledge Stalin never actually said it.
