Recommended: Stalin propaganda

Kant: Wow Darwin you either did not read the book, or you completely missed what was going on. Superman had superpowers that consisted of super hearing, super vision, super strength, and flying.

Darwin: I did read the book Kant I just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t making up the ridiculousness that this book portrayed. No other human has Superman’s powers which makes me question where his alleles came from. In the world that we live on, the traits that Superman had were useless so I wonder if by natural selection Superman’s offspring would have them. I am not even quite sure if a supernatural being like Superman could actually mate with an earthly being to create an offspring.

Mao: I do not understand where you are going with this. …show more content…

Personally I think Lex Luthor was the real villain here. I personally agreed with and loved Stalin. I thought he was a brilliant man and I followed most of his ideals.

Kant: Who do you think would’ve been the best person to succeed Stalin: Pyotr or Superman?

Mao: I think Pyotr would’ve been a better candidate for the long run. Superman did not have it in him to turn the whole world into communism. Pyotr would have done anything needed to make that happen. However, I do believe that Superman was more like Stalin and myself.

Darwin: What makes you say that?

Mao: Well first of all Stalin created the cult of personality, everyone loved him and admired him because in all the images he was depicted on he seemed powerful. When Stalin turned Russia into a superpower after winning World War II everyone admired him even more. When the second Sino-Japanese war happened It was me who created a massive guerilla warfare and defeated the Japanese. Because of my formidable and effective fighting force I was the savior of China and everyone loved me. Superman was loved by everyone in the Soviet Union because he kept everyone save while still implemented Communist ideals. We were all saviors and if you did not agree with our ideals we would send you to rectification camps. For example, when superman defeated super villains he put them in a rehabilitation program that

    Mao Zedong will forever live on history as a revolutionary, not only in China but across the globe. There are very few communist nations today because of the many difficulties of having a homogenous population, which shares the same ideals. Mao was able to modernize and re-socialize his citizens in a short amount of time. He defined himself as the face of change in China. Mao’s vision of equality for all Chinese citizens has still not been achieved but it is well on its way. The only question lies in, does the end justify the means.

  • Mao Zedong and Mohandas Gandhi

    1702 Words  | 4 Pages

    Mohandas Gandhi and Mao Zedong were two great leaders who succeeded in many ways by their actions and decisions. Gandhi was an Indian leader and Mao a Chinese leader. However, their approach to success, peace, and ultimately, a revolution, was very different. Mao favored peace through violence, and Gandhi favored peace through non-cooperation and standing up for what is right. He also believed that these changes will be accomplished by “conscious suffering”, was the way he put it. However, despite their differences, these two leaders were similar too. They were both very charismatic leaders who successfully made it through their revolutions. Mao’s revolution led to change in class structure while Gandhi’s revolution involved India as a country, and he wanted people to realize that working together is a great way to gain independence. While Mao and Gandhi both believed that each of their countries have the need of independence, their views differed when it came to the use of violence, development towards the revolution, and their thoughts on a caste system.

    The pressures of society and many factors against us can at times seem impossible to overcome, however, these limitations are only the ones we place on ourselves. Whether it’s during the adolescent years as Sherman Alexie explained in “The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me”, about the struggles of overcoming the stigma bound by his culture where “A smart Indian is a dangerous person, widely feared and ridiculed by Indians and non-Indians alike”, as well as having the courage to break free for his own benefit. In addition, this theme was also explored in the later years of adulthood as demonstrated in Malcolm X’s essay, “Learning to Read” where he’d become so frustrated while kept in prison, unable to quite express himself as he did

  • Everyday Stalinism

    546 Words  | 2 Pages

    When most people hear the name Joseph Stalin, they usually associate the name with a man who was part of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and was responsible for the deaths of millions of people. He was willingly to do anything to improve the power of the Soviet Union’s economy and military, even if it meant executing tens of millions of innocent people (Frankforter, A. Daniel., and W. M. Spellman 655). In chapter three of Sheila Fitzpatrick’s book, Everyday Stalinism, she argues that since citizens believed the propaganda of “a radiant future” (67), they were able to be manipulated by the Party in the transformation of the Soviet Union. This allowed the Soviet government to expand its power, which ultimately was very disastrous for the people.

  • Similarities And Differences Between Lenin And Stalin

    In conclusion, both Lenin and Stalin stood for nearly the same thing, but ended up being quite different in their approaches as to hot to implement the theoretical ideas into the real world. However, while neither man was particularly moral, Stalin especially was evil. But both of them caused famines and wars that caused the deaths of millions of people, not to mention the horrible life of those who survived. I do not believe that Lenin and especially not Stalin realized the goal of the Revolution as they had promised it, and I think that the people of Russia would have been better off if neither Lenin nor Stalin had come to power, and they continued to live under the Tsar.

Stalin in the end was not looking to eradicate or find a neat “final solution” because since his plan did not go as planned, he has to constantly try and adapt and tweak his idea till it became something completely different all together. The Russian people allowed Stalin to rein supreme over them, and if enough people had revolted, there could have been a different outcome. Most people accepted their fate and in the end they died from it.

  • Mao Zedong

    More murderous than Hitler, more powerful than Stalin, in the battle of the Communist leaders Mao Zedong trumps all. Born into a comfortable peasant family, Mao would rise up to become China’s great leader. After leading the communists away from Kuomintang rule, he set out to modernize China, but the results of this audacious move were horrific. He rebounded from his failures time and again, and used his influence to eliminate his enemies and to purge China of its old ways. Mao saw a brighter future for China, but it was not within his grasp; his Cultural Revolution was not as successful as he had wanted it to be. Liberator, oppressor, revolutionary, Mao Zedong was the greatest emancipator in China’s history, as his reforms and actions changed the history of China and of the wider world.
