[Stalin] A call for a revolution in workers who are spilling through the recession. But is it really okay to revolutionize?

Roughly speaking

1. The era of great unemployment since the Lehman shock. It's not just a recession. The irreversible rise in unemployment rates brought about by remote work is bringing a revolutionary momentum for workers.
2. A record of interviewing Stalin during the Great Depression in 1934 was translated by Professor Yamagata Hiroo.
3. Stalin's fear. A glimpse of the great purge. If workers really revolutionize, they will repeat the failures of the Soviet Union.

In an era of massive unemployment brought about by defensive management and remote work, workers seek a revolution

The world is currently experiencing a period of great unemployment. In particular, there is a high possibility that employment will not recover.

For some reason. Japan is one person losing in real wage rates, and Japan is the only one that has led to the downfall of the middle-income class. The defensive management style, which has a lot of internal reserves, has become even more maxed out, and Japanese companies are slowing down the economy.

Furthermore, remote work became popular, and performance-based practices that would have never become popular in Japan were forcibly introduced. All the luggage employees, which had not been made public until now, are beginning to issue a big command to resign at once. Large companies are resigning early, and Japan's globally proud employment bonus system and the suspension of new graduate recruitment has begun to increase.

It is true that the world is signaling an economic recovery, but it is very questionable whether the previous full employment situation will actually be realized in Japan.

It's become a difficult time. The world's situation is unstable, and I have mentioned it before, but sometimes it is completely similar to the world situation around 1930. Yes, it was the time when Hitler and Stalin began to make more money.

Recently, this is a story that has been heard among unemployed and low-wage workers. With only stocks rising in price by one person, everyone expects a revolution.

"The economic disparity in this world is strange. Why are the rich people making money? There will always be a revolution in workers. The rich will suffer."

Although few people take action in Japan, in fact, it is In the US, GameStop stocks have actually happened, in which low-cost stocks are rising on message boards, and as a result, famous short selling funds have declared defeat..

It's still a matter of stock markets, so it's fine, but some countries really took action in the late 1920s to early 1930s. The Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Lenin, Stalin and Hitler, the leaders of the time, led to calamity by connecting uncertainty to power amid growing unrest among workers.

This time, we will introduce a record of HG Wells, a famous British science fiction novelist and so-called intellectual class, interviewing Stalin in 1934, amid the Great Depression, the people sloganed with poverty. It's a terrifying interview that already has the shadow of a dictator flickering.

Introducing the historical background of 1934. What was the situation in each country during the Great Depression?

Stalin's interview was conducted in 1934, so let's understand the historical background of that time. In fact, in 1934, the Soviet Union and Germany were not yet hostile to the world, and were thought to be excellent countries that had been ahead of the world to recover economically.

The Great Depression itself began on October 24, 1929, when a major crash in the American stock market was triggered. Just before the crash, there is a story that says that Joseph Kennedy sold all of his stakes after a shoe shiner called out, "Would you like to invest in stocks?"

The world is caught up in the worst situation. The United States was filled with unemployed people until 1932, when Roosevelt put in the New Deal policy as president, and many villages of shacks were born.

The gold standard ended in the UK due to capital outflows. The capitalists lost significant wealth, but workers continued to live in such poor conditions that they struggled with food a week later.

Germany was once again crashed into the Great Depression as it was recovering from its compensation payments after World War I. The unemployment rate reached an unprecedented 40% or more, but the government at the time was unable to take effective measures and in 1933 they moved to the Nazi Party's Hitler cabinet. The Hitler regime from 1933 exterminated the Communist Party and Social Democrat Party, which were prevalent in Germany, and achieved an economic recovery faster than in the United States, Britain and France, with highway plans such as the Autobahn and secret rearmament plans. This was an era when the public praised Hitler in Germany.

The Soviet Union also suffered limited damage, but the planned economy was effective and GDP doubled. The public intellectual class, especially the upper classes of the UK, raved about Soviet socialism and criticised the capitalism adopted by Britain. They would later become secretly working as spies for the Soviet Union.

British upper class interviews Stalin

This time, we will introduce some interesting exchanges from an article by Professor Yamagata Hiroo, which translates the interview with Stalin by H.G. Wells, a British science fiction writer who is also well known for his film adaptation of "The War of the Space", and is a Japanese translation. For the full text, please refer to Blog Article.

This time, I would like to write a rough review of the content before you read Full text. Wells is a British intellectual class and naturally plays the role of a capitalist (well, a novelist). He is visiting countries to save Britain, who is struggling with panic, with the power of intellectuals. We've seen the New Deal policy that seems to be working well in the United States. Roosevelt's policy seems to be based on Keynesian economics and is a socialist but certainly well-versed. This time I visited Stalin to study successful policies and planned economic policies in the Soviet Union, and to breathe the atmosphere of socialism that will make the entire nation happy. July 1934. Stalin has already begun purgesing executives.

The conversation is intelligent throughout. If you actually read it, Stalin is good at writing, and Wells panicks and writes his points in bullet points. Wells carefreely thought that socialism was a derivative of capitalist form, and that he was partially planned economy by borrowing the power of intellectuals, but Stalin was completely different. Intelligence should be slaves to workers, and no intellectuals are needed. In the interview, he says that workers should pursue their own happiness, that all assets should be shared, and that all people from the old system are stuck to the past system, so they should kill them all.

Stalin makes some concessions during the interview. He is well aware of President Roosevelt's New Deal policy and Ford's abilities as an organiser. But he never admits existence. The situation in which capitalists bully workers is never going to change when they have private property, and they are things that must be purged.

Stalin's final words are scary. "In order to build a culture that respects free opinions, we are making the public self-criticism." This does not mean that we respect free opinions, but rather that we are brainwashing that we will not accept anything other than Stalin's ideology. Had Wells been aware?

If we allow a revolution in workers casually, a new, uneven system will only be created. In my personal opinion, I think that by expressing my intentions in elections, becoming a politician myself, or lobbying, I will only be able to fully utilize democratic systems. And if there is a culture in which Islam's delight and American donation culture is praised, the form of capital will be redistributed.
