It is clear that, one month before the Bolsheviks seized power from the provisional democratic government, Stalin was a member of the 99 percent.

According to reputable biographers, Stalin remained a 99 percenter (in terms of personal economic consumption, not in terms of political power) even after he became the leader of the USSR. Stalin sought and acquired the substance of power, and had little interest in the trappings of power.

Furthermore, Lenin referred to Stalin as a "wonderful Georgian." Yes, Stalin was a member of an ethnic minority group, a Georgian rather than a Russian.

What's not to like?

Is this DUmmy praising Stalin, or is this some kind of sarcasm?

Didn't the left in general complain after the War on Terror was implemented that it was set up to be a perpetual war?

In any society, there's always the 1% and the 99%.  Even if the 1% are stripped of all their wealth and it's redistributed to the remaining 99%, all you've done is recreate a new 1% and a 99%.  It never ends until the point it ends badly, for everyone.

My guess is, they would like it to cycle until they become the 1% then stop it in its tracks, but by then it will be too late.

The DUmmies seem to be coming down pretty hard on Boojatta for comparing Stalin to the 99%ers.  I can't figure out what they'd have against him.  Even their all-time favorite champion president, FDR, loved Stalin and fondly referred to him as Uncle Joe.  You can't get a better endorsement than that from a DUmmy perspective.
