Watch out! It’s Lenin’s butcher… bill.
I now want to know more about Lenin’s Butcher Bill.
Lenin: I take your fash and kulaks and give you infrastructure, healthcare, jobs
What a great deal~ I’m in!
Det er sgu fandeme en god aftale!
One slight issue with this logic: It can also be applied to the British Empire; especially regarding its occupation of the Indian Subcontinent, that it built “railroads” and rail infrastructure. Though, looking back on it, railroads/rail infastructure pail in comparison to Soviet contribution.
The difference is intent. Brits built roads so they could plunder better. Soviets built infrastructure for the people. It is easy to verify by looking at where the roads were being built.
Simply ask the question, who were those railroads for? What purpose was that infrastructure primarily built for? Who benefited the most at the time from those developments?
The Indian railway was built first and foremost for the British to facilitate their colonial endeavors, as was pretty much all infrastructure/roads/hospitals that were built by them. They also built racetracks and casinos, and luxury resorts, ever wonder who were allowed into them?
