“You bastards are crazy.”
As always, most reports came to our Politburo’s desk before MacArthur’s. This was also the case with the document on the government’s response to the protests that erupted following the submission of the MacArthur impeachment bill.
“What is the Department of Defense doing? Did you come up with a plan like this? Is there not a single person out there who can say straight no?”
“Comrade General, I’m sorry, but… Most of the generals who had merit in the last Daejeon were purged because they had conflicts with MacArthur. Because MacArthur’s henchmen filled that void… .”
huh huh. Then ‘I’ has nothing to say.
MacArthur was repeating what Stalin had done. The only difference was that the Soviet Union had a terribly out-of-control military, and the United States had a problem because it was controlled too well.
With that docile and docile army, MacArthur was now trying to turn the guns on the people.
Whether the soldiers are, in fact, the soldiers on the front lines who are their own people and who are supposed to pull the trigger on their neighbours, is another matter. The National Guard, the most powerful force mobilizing on the mainland, was unlikely to stand still.
“Doesn’t it seem like we and that person have changed?”
“Hey, comrade secretary… The great Soviet Red Army never points a gun at the people.”
“Yeah, I’ll keep doing that forever.”
okay. The People’s Liberation Army, which was determined to liberate the people, liberated the people from the dead at Tiananmen Square, and the workers’ and peasants’ Red Army launched a coup that imprisoned Gorbi and ultimately destroyed the country of workers and peasants.
I don’t know what will happen after I die, but I can’t see the tail.
Fortunately, in the Soviet Union, the August coup d’état by conservatives in the military was prevented with the power of citizens. The problem is that what came next was the worst period of time, leading to poor Yeltsin and the dictator Putin.
Even if they tried to control the military by creating a system of political officers and everything, those who had stagnated and rotted for decades joined hands with each other at the last moment.
In order not to form that inner circle, the fall of the Soviet Union began at the moment when people who were the sons of workers until yesterday were no longer in a country where they could dream of becoming general secretary. What is different from capitalism in a country where the son of the party secretary becomes the party secretary and the son of the worker becomes the worker!
“And… .”
“???”
After I rested for a while, the Politburo members’ eyes turned to me. I didn’t mean to be so fussy.
I tried to get rid of it as quickly as possible, as if it were natural, but… .
“Now I have to retire.”
“Yes?!?!?!?”
“What do you mean! no!”
“Hey… Bald, sit down.”
“Yep.”
As long as you are human, you will die someday. Even if they do not die, they grow old, decrepit, and their judgment is clouded.
If I hold power until the day I die, how many more years will I be able to hold it? It is now less than two years since the actual death of Stalin. Will the Soviet Union be a much better place if I hold on to power and let go of it?
Or will the behind the scenes of those who leave knowing the day they will leave set a better precedent?
Stalin was practically the founder of the Soviet Union. Lenin died shortly after the founding of the Soviet Union, and he did not wield absolute power like Stalin, but was merely the most leadership of several Bolsheviks.
Now making a precedent has fallen into my hands. I too had to set an example so that the future power transfer method would not result in a purge or death, but a peaceful regime change and change of water.
“In the United States, there is now a fierce battle between MacArthur, who does not want to let go of power, and the political forces who are trying to seize that power somehow. Why would you even drag a tram towards the protesters in Parliament Square?”
“… .”
“In the meantime, haven’t you thought about how propaganda would be effective if we went through a peaceful transfer of power? How long do you think this old body will live? Are you going to abuse me until then?”
“Comrade General Secretary… Ten more years to be true!”
What is 10 years? According to the evidence, it’s been 2 years, and since you’ve been taking care of your health, how many more years should I give you?
“Then you mean to live like this for 10 years?”
“That… It’s not, but without Comrade General Secretary, who… .”
Khrushchev, who had previously kept his mouth shut, abruptly stood up. He looked into my eyes and frowned, but the plan had already been decided.
“You. bald.”
“Ah… Sorry.”
“No, it’s you.”
“Yes?”
The other members of the Politburo were roughly expecting it. He must have grasped the significance of Khrushchev being placed in a position that demanded practical and political power, such as improving the people’s livelihood, as it is a light industry while longing for a lot.
I don’t know why it was Khrushchev. I wonder if this child will be able to successfully remove Stalin from the position of the sage and turn him into a ‘just a leader’… In any case, it was better than other Politburo members who were hard-headed and lacked the guts.
“You are the next secretary. You won’t be able to fully grasp all the power I’ve wielded so far.”
“uh… Why me?”
why are you
However, the other Politburo members were nodding their heads or applauding as if they had managed to understand. It might be sad Who hasn’t dreamed of the power of secretary-general?
Paradoxically, it seemed more convincing. If you can’t sleep a day, clinging to paperwork every day until you’re old, and wielding it as absolute power, what else can’t you be satisfied with right now?
“However… I am… I’m too short! Comrade General Secretary created the present Soviet Union… You must have a comrade! What can I do?”
“I said, will I live forever?”
“… .”
“The USSR is not made by you or me. It is what the people make. Young students who will soon be pouring into society, workers and peasants who want a better life, those friends will tell you which way to go.”
I’ll tell you the way, but I won’t tell you the way.
If it’s not fatal, you can go through trial and error, realize that feedback from the bottom up is important, and gradually walk on a better path.
Then what if the regime is overthrown, the Soviet system and the socialist system collapse?
‘If it really collapses, that’s the extent of the system.’
The Soviet Union was the largest social experiment in history, devised by Marx and designed by Lenin. This experiment eventually turned out to be a failure in real history, but it shattered and collapsed. with many dreams and hopes.
What I’ve been doing in this world for so long has been to correct some of the experiments that had a lot of errors. If it fails in the same way, if socialism is defeated once more before capitalism reveals its contradictions and destroys itself, maybe it can prove that socialism is an impossible delusion.
Perhaps the misfortunes that we humans have experienced while living in the 21st century for nearly 20 years may have been the best possible world.
But I didn’t like it.
Half of the world’s population goes hungry while producing so much food that all the world’s population is obese. Even in the United States, the most advanced country, or in Korea, there are a lot of people who are sick and die without receiving proper treatment.
Is that really the best world imaginable? Couldn’t a better world exist than that?
Stalin, the most powerful man in history, may have had the power to change everything for the better. As I entered this body, I felt that Stalin was a great ruler, but he also made many mistakes.
‘The Great Famine in Ukraine, the Great Purge, the Toxin War, and the Cold War that followed… .’
The Soviet Union, once a nation burning with revolutionary enthusiasm, cooled so slowly that it became an empire of gray bureaucracy. Many of the talented people Stalin had recruited became scumbags that wanted to get rid of freedom, equality, peace, and naval.
“Khrushchev, tell me one thing.”
“Yes! comrade secretary. I will listen.”
“The state exists for the people. People do not exist for the sake of the state. One of my many mistakes was that I misunderstood them.”
“How could that be a mistake… .”
“Is it a mistake or something?”
“Comrade General Secretary has led industrialization to a mythical success! How about the Great Patriotic War? This is due to the sacrifice of the people and the guidance of comrades… .”
History books will probably record Stalin’s name and write down his achievements.
“Success of Industrialization”
“Victory of the Great Patriotic War”
‘Leap to a superpower’
But who built that huge new Moscow city? The book probably only contains the name of Stalin who instructed it. Did Stalin build bricks with his own hands?
And who won the Great Patriotic War? Stalin alone? Maybe there was at least one cook?
Victories and feats appear on every page of the librarian. Who paid the money and blood and sweat for victory?
“Khrushchev. Who did all that?”
“Comrade Secretary General… .”
“Did I dig with my own hands and build guns? Have you ever aimed at an enemy and defeated them? No, have you ever worked in a sweat?”
“… .”
Everyone was in a quiet mood. When you are in a high position, there comes a time when a person’s life seems to be a number rather than a life.
You may have experienced it at least once, but it is the people who actually lead and make everything. Somewhere over there, these are people who are living a normal day today.
“Victory was not brought to you by any great iron man leader. I just briefly represented the great will of the people, and you too can represent for a while and then give up your seat when a new wave arrives.”
“That word… .”
“Just try it for 10 years. And will you be judged by the people?”
“Ah… Okay.”
What I set out as a rough outline was a collective leadership system made up of members of the Politburo, and a model that could be changed at least every 10 years.
In actual history, the communist politburo, which has been constantly increasing in age, has conserved and aged the Soviet Union. At a certain age, as I set, it was necessary to retire after reaching the age of 65 and to work until the end of the tenure of the position.
At first glance, it may sound similar to the way the Chinese Communist Party is actually taking. The only difference is that the Soviet Union is at least a richer and more conscious country than China.
“The future is in the hands of the young people out there, and in your own hands. the USSR… Please.”
