Answering questions

1) If Hitler hadn't broken the Nazi-Soviet Pact and hadn't launched Operation Barbarossa, the UUSR would've probably fought against the Allies, right?
Not really. If the pact hadn`t been broken the USSR & Germany would obviously not have fought one another. However, Nazism & Communism were as ideologically incompatible and the same way as capitalism and communism were. Stalin did not want to fight at all. In fact, he distrusted UK & France because he thought they expected USSR & Germany to tear each other to pieces in the East. This is sth he did not want.

2) Cold War: how could the Policy of Containment be carried out? We understand that the US wanted to prevent the spread of Communism, so the US adopted two approaches, right? One approach was military, the other was economic. Was the Marshall Plan the economic side of this Policy of Containment?
If by military you mean the US actually fought, with the exception of Korea & Vietnam the US did not actually fight. Never the USSR openly. If by military you mean providing military aid, personnel and advice to other countries the answer is yes.
Aid to Turkey and Greece, as promised in the Truman doctrine is economic, so is ERP (Marshall Aid).
3) WWII: Where did the Germans take the money from to rearm if they were bankrupt? Did the US provide loans to Germany? Germany was forgiven the payment of reparations. In 1923 the Dawes Plan eased conditions for Germany. So did the Young Plan 1929-30.

4) Which was the difference between Lenin's and Stalin's aims? Did Lenin want to spread Communism all over the world, and did he want the proletarian revolution that Marx & Engels had written about in, for example, the Communist Manifesto? It’s not a question of what Lenin or Stalin wanted, it’s a question of communist ideology which is by definition revolutionary and international in character.
Was Stalin a nationalist? No he was not. Communism and nationalism are ideologically incompatible. Nationalism is a bourgeois ideology from the French Revolution. Communism is internationalist. In order to consider the initial world nature of the Bolshevik Revolution you should find out what Trotsky’s aims were.
Wasn’t Stalin interested in spreading Communism to other parts of the globe? It’s not a question of his being interested or not. It’s a question of what the USSR was able to do. Reread Hobsbawm when he explains how the Bolshevik revolution took place in a country that was not manifestly ready for it according to Marxist theory. Stalin proposed the slogan “Socialism in one country” to indicate the fact that, for the time being, the USSR would not seek to spread revolution across the world. Hence his split with Trotsky

5) How did the Russian Revolution save the USSR from the Great Depression? Was it because of the Five Year Plan implemented by Stalin? Wait a second, the Bolshevik Revolution took place in 1917 and the Great Depression started in 1930. When the Slump started the Revolution was over. What “saved” the USSR was the fact that it did not have a capitalist economy. The Five-Year Plans were merely the expression of a communist economy. Think in terms of theories and ideologies.

Subject: NO ESTAMOS DE ACUERDO CON LA TOMA DE FACULTAD DE HUMANIDADES
From: estudiant...@gmail.com

Hola, chicos y chicas, somos un grupo de Estudiantes de la Facultad de Humanidades, no participamos de política, es decir, no militamos en ninguna agrupación, sólo, repito, somos estudiantes.
Decidimos enviar este mail, con la idea de expresar nuestro punto de vista respecto a esta nueva toma de la Facultad de Humanidades
Nosotros y nosotras no estamos de acuerdo con la decisión de tomar la Facultad de Humanidades. La mayoría de nosotros hace más de dos semanas que estamos estudiando para rendir parciales, recuperatorios y finales del mes de julio. Por lo visto, esta es una historia repetida, en los años 2009 y 2010 perdimos una fecha de final por otra toma. Lo extraño es que los/as estudiantes que toman la Facultad son siempre los mismos, por esta razón nos preguntamos, hasta cuándo va a suceder siempre lo mismo. Alguien puede argumentar, ¿por qué no van a la asamblea y discuten este punto de vista? Algunos han ido y es muy difícil acordar y consensuar con gente que te habla a los gritos, te acusa de cosas que no sabés qué significan. En fin, no nos sentimos cómodos/as en ese tipo de charlas.
Sin duda compartimos algunas cosas respecto a los derechos de los estudiantes y de las garantías de la universidad pública. Lo que no compartimos, es que si alguien, sea que sea, insulta, agrede físicamente a cualquier persona y, más aún, dentro de un ámbito universitario exija los mismos derechos que cualquier otro que no lo hace. Por lo tanto, creemos que cada uno debe hacerse cargo de su propia imprudencia en un espacio universitario.
En estos momentos muchos de los/as estudiantes que viajan de otras localidades, se encuentran pagando pensiones, departamentos y viviendo de onda en casas de parientes y amigos, sin saber cuándo se va a levantar esta toma. Ni hablar de los/as estudiantes que trabajamos y concurrimos a la facultad y, oh sorpresa está tomada. Por último, les pedimos a todos/as estudiantes que seamos consientes de que unos pocos, que siempre están en los pasillos de la Facultad, deben saber que gran parte de los/as que estudiamos estamos en desacuerdo con esta decisión de tomar la facultad. Si te sentís identificada/do con este pensamiento, entonces este grupo que con mucha vergüenza se anima a escribir, no está solo.
