Deprived of his father’s affections and upset by a failed romance, Yakov, or Yasha as Stalin called him...

What the fuck was Stalin's problem? I bet that if he was dad of any of us, he would hate us too for not being exemplar soviet men.

He was a psychopathic chauvinist.

Not a tankie, but here's my take.
He was the real deal. He was TOUGH, both as a bandit in his youth, as a politician and then as a leader of a superpower. The guy proved his might in the harshest situations, and there he is now, having to deal with his weakling son, who is struggling with made up problems, wasting the time of the man that is keeping the international socialist project alive. Do you realise how pathetic must have been that suicide attempt to Stalin? After all the shit he went through? No way, he was not going to have any of it.

Of course he would. Do you think that he was thinking in human terms? He was trying to change the world, radically, in a lifetime. There was no time for it, and regardless, one should also consider these 2 things: a state does not behave like a human being, and Stalin's life was devoted to the state; Stalin was operating on a ideological framework that led him to believe (and most of us here would agree with him) that the establishment of socialism on Earth was the greatest, ethical Good achievable, therefore one might see how he could suppress almost every element of human empathy (the fact that he was so hung up on the notion of "naive socialism" should not surprise us).

Sounds like his son was a little bitch

son was disappointment
then again Stalin murdered millions of people
it isnt fair comparison

IIRC Yakov was a complete dick his whole life. He used to start shit at school because his dad ran the country. Stalin would commend the teachers who had the guts to discipline him. The guy was a pain in the ass so Stalin's reaction is no shock

No he didn't.

...

I heard it was billions.

I heard Stalin didn't bother using turn signals when he was driving around in Moscow.

I actually heard somewhere that is was evil to let the Nazis die in the winter.

His own father was hard on him and his son was an asshole like one of those rich fucks who come from money.

My great grandparents once had a small farm and Stalin actually came to their house one day and strangled the family dog. My grandfather was also in the KGB and Stalin strangled him too.

top kek, any proof that he was a dick

Stalin's dad was an asshole drunk that used to beat him and his mother, and got himself killed in a barfight when Joe was 12. The name "Koba" is an allusion to Stalin killing him himself.

During a famine, my family hoarded their grain and didn't share with all those lazy dying fucks, and Stalin personally raped everyone in my family, sent them to a gulag, killed them, resurrected them again, and than killed them again.

We all know Hitler wouldn't do such things. You stupid commie.

Apparently this

Source is plebbit so don't know if true or not

Apparently Stalin didn't think his parents treated him badly but to be fair "not badly" in 19th century colonial Georgia might have a completely different meaning from how we interpret that today:
Stalin: No. My parents were uneducated, but they did not treat me badly by any means. But it was a different matter at the Orthodox theological seminary which I was then attending. In protest against the outrageous regime and the Jesuitical methods prevalent at the seminary, I was ready to become, and actually did become, a revolutionary, a believer in Marxism as a really revolutionary teaching.

Considering all the shit Stalin went through it makes sense he was a cold guy. His dad beat him to the point of needing to go to the hospital along with beating his mom, they were poor, he went on to live in a strict seminary in his teens when the regime was utterly ruthless, went on to become a revolutionary bandit robbing trains and banks to fund the party, and getting sent to Siberia in 3 different occasions.

COMPASSION ENDED WITH SON

NOW GULAG IS MY BEST FRIEND

What an absolute madman.

If Stalin was my father and he asked me to kill myself, I would.

Does this look like the face of mercy?

10/10 bantz

I've heard he also wouldn't get back in the fucking tank.
