Stalin = God-Emperor of Dune

And in terms of what is good about my interpretation of Stalinism, why it's good, is that, have you read God, Emperor of Dune, I'm going to ask you? No. This is an important Stalinist work. No. It's actually, I think, a fundamental key text in Stalinism. Okay. Are you aware of the Dune series, Frank Herbert? Yes. Okay. So the whole plot of the overall arc here is that, you know, you have Duke Leto II, who turns himself into a giant worm who rules the universe for, you know, 10,000 years. And he has a specific plan called the Golden Path that he follows. And that that Golden Path is designed to ensure that humanity survives into the future, into the distant, distant future, into the end of the cosmos. And he has the ability to see the future, and he has found the one path through all historical contingency in order to, you know, ensure the survival and destiny of the human race. Right?
