I was asked recently if the United States was right in supporting Stalin and the Soviets in World War II. I find this a fascinating question, because it is built on decades of false history. I will take the question further – should the United States have been involved in World War II at all? I love alternate history, and this is my take on that topic.
Brazil is referred to as “the country of tomorrow.” The only problem is that a country can only be called that for so long until people wonder when tomorrow will actually show up. It remains to be seen if Brazil can live up to its potential. Brazil has the goods to become a player – they are the 8th largest economy in the world, with a GDP nearing $3 trillion. Brazil is very high on other lists – unfortunately, they have the world’s highest net homicide rate per annum. They also have a propensity to routinely destroy their economy by electing socialists. Riding on a global wave of post-Brexit, post-Trump populism, Jair Bolsonaro was elected Brazil’s president in 2018 to address these problems.
Africa is home to some of the oldest civilizations on Earth. Yet, by all metrics, it is the poorest continent. Whether it is GDP per capita, life expectancy, political freedom or literacy rates, Africa ranks dead last. Why is this? The answers you will often hear are white (European) colonialism, racism, corruption, lack of unity, instability and lack of resources. There are elements of truth to some of these, yet the reasons you often hear from today’s mainstream historians and race hustlers are misleading. For one, Africa is a continent, not a unified nation of people. There are 54 recognized countries in Africa, each with its own unique circumstances. I’m going to take an in-depth look at all of the perceived causes of poverty and use statistics from individual nations to challenge each.
There is a common view amongst today’s Marxists and academic class that the terrors under Stalin were somehow a bastardization of Vladimir Lenin’s true intentions. The mass murders that occurred under Stalin’s U.S.S.R. occurred because he perverted Lenin’s idea of a Marxist utopia. I don’t believe that there is any evidence to back these claims. Common historical consensus states that Lenin wrote a “Last Testament of Lenin” before his death, warning others of the threat that “the mass murderer” Stalin posed to communism. I think the timeline shows that this is false. Let’s take a look.
