There are other types of communists though. If superman comes in in 53' then he can replace the leaders with more popular communists, something which again, worked IRL to stop dissent, and then transition them out of Soviet control, and if he comes in in WW2 then he can put native movements in charge of countries that have them, and generally just not do any oppression in the first place.
First case would work until revolution happens like otl hungary.
The issue is the stalinist ones kinda ruined it for the rest.
The Soviets were working on a decentralized, hierarchical computer network back in the 60s but it was cancelled by Khrushchev
I didn't disagree with that,i disagree that waiting for that to develop is what Superman would do.
The whole idea was to end their puppet state nature for an equal partnership. For the first, accept the popular uprising as the new government as long as it isn't capitalist, and for the second do the same thing.
I'm not saying he would, I'm saying that if he doesn't have the fortress of solitude it could provide a base to build off of
That's part of the reason I support pushing his appearance back to when Germany declares on teh Soviets, and his takeover to almost right after the Soviet win
It would be capitalist nationalist almost everywhere in the first case and straight big tent nationalists in the second.
That doesn't change anything.
It changes a lot, since Stalin wouldn't be able to purge the native communist movements in the areas they take over
It doesn't matter,if he puts them in charge they either get toppled by revolt or follow the public will and step down or follow reasonable nationalist policy.
But then they aren't communist, and Superman's goal is worldwide communism
Uh.
If the communists step down and capitalists take over they won't be communist for very long, same if there is a revolt and the commies are overthrown by capitalists
Exactly.
So you want to crush democracy,while still having democracy.
I'll do my best for both communism and democracy, but if I have to choose I'll take communism
Bad for you Superman would not do that.
Your acting like any authoritarian muesures at all, or any undemocratic mueseres taken to preserve the revolution, inherently turn you into Stalin when they really don't
So you approve mass murder and mass oppression as ways of establishing class consciousness(whatever that means to you).
Let me try that to.
If were sticking with the Red Sun upbringing then he was raised by devotedly communist Ukrainein farmers on a communal farm, until he decided that he couldn't sit and watch while bad things happened, he had to help the people, and the international proletariat. He then went to Moscow and presented himself to Stalin, becoming Stalin's protege.
