But the way in which he did it was very costly. Stalin is comparable to Musk in that sense. In love with technology and factories, but too focussed on advancement no matter the human cost. Everything was about efficiency.
If he hadn't been, would the USSR survived? That focus on technology, factories, and efficiency, no matter the cost, seems like the right approach when there's Nazis at your doorstep, conquering all of Europe and conducting mass exterminations.
When did the USSR conduct "mass exterminations?"
The largest and most sadistic mass murders were by the Nazis, obviously. Are you trying to downplay the Holocaust?
That's about what I expected lmao.
