What do you think of the Sino-Soviet split? Do you think that it was one of the biggest mistakes made by socialist governments of the past?

It came from the different natures of the socialist movements in Europe and Asia.

To me it was a big error made by the Soviet Union and China because it bought them to see each other as enemies. And gave the capitalists a chance to take advantage of it.

Most people take the side of China. The chinese were also very paranoid about a Soviet "attack" on China from what I understand.
I will always take unity over conflict between elements of the left... so yes, in my mind it was a blunder. ![]() "What has 1 year of Capitalism achieved that 70 years of Communism could not? It has made Communism look good" - Russian joke, 1993.
It was inevitable. All communist movement up to that point were directed from Moscow, and once they succeeded became sattelites. China wouldn't go along with that kind of policy, and Khruschev's had no interests in another major communist power that acts independently.

Some countries of the communist movement could've took a stance like Yugoslavia. It wouldn't have been as turbulent between the Soviet Union and other countries compared to PRC. Also including Khrushchev I don't think that any Soviet leader had an interest in a major communist power that acts independently. With the exception of North Korea.

Frankly, the Sino-Soviet split was one of the biggest tragedies of the Cold War. If they had remained a unified bloc instead of sqabbling over unimportant things, then there might still be a USSR today.

Yeah like it says in the Communist Manifesto "Working Men of All Countries Unite!". Khrushchev and Mao were once working men.

But he helped out Cuba and other countries that were at odds with the capitalists. Under his government he also beat the capitalists to space and established the Warsaw Pact. BTW I just put on the Khrushchev avatar because I've already seen somebody with the Fidel and Lenin avatars.

Quote: That doesn't matter. Communism isn't just about spreading leftist ideology. It's about a genuine transformation of society. Khurschev was the one who essentially gave up on communism in the Soviet Union.

Like I said Khrushchev wasn't that good of a leader at home. You'll find that mostly every leader whether bad or good wasn't bad or good at everything.

No actually. Khruschev was just majorly incompetent. Russia is still paying for his destruction of the production of grain. STILL. Stalin's repercussions weren't even that dire.

If anything, he's responsible for the fact that the USSR eventually fell behind in the space race. Brezhnev's attempts to revive soviet space programs were far more capable. He was the one that destroyed Soviet agriculture, and ended the transformation of a socialist society into a communist one. He's the one that created the conditions which would eventually lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Its too bad that Kruchev had to take such a different line from the traditions in which the PRC was built on.
It was a blunder but only way to avoid it would had been not to hold the speech of Stalin's mistakes in the XX Party Congress. Unified front of China and USSR would had been awesome... -With solidarity, FC
![]() Quote: Khruschev new that if he just took the reins of power from Stalin, he'd always be overshadowed by Stalin's accomplishments. So he did the only politically prudent thing by doing all he could to tarnish Stalin's name. That way he himself, not matter how feeble or incompetent, wouldn't look too bad.
The Sino-Soviet split was probably the biggest mistake of the Cold War. Instead of being in conflict with each other they should have worked together to fight their common enemy, the capitalists. Also and Khrushchev lovers don't hate me for this, but I think that he was a major part of the split. Because Stalin and Mao liked each other and got along well, but Khrushchevs policies towards China differed from Stalin's and that caused conflicts.
Once capitalists know we can release the Kraken, they'll back down and obey our demands for sure.
