Gulag [1], Purges [2], man made famine [3], restriction of movement [4], population as means for World Revolution [5], imperialism [6].

Bolsheviks were terrorists [7], the state evolved from terrorists organisation. It should be shamed just as we shame Fascists. Meanwhile in Russia Stalin popularity is record high [8].

It has nothing to do with Lebensraum.
It walks like a duck and sounds like a duck. You can call it whatever you want, the ethos is the same.
We are talking about motivation for getting territories.

All that the parent comment listed doesn't have anything to do with that.
