Similarities Between Napoleon And Stalin

The two leaders Joseph Stalin and Nikita Khrushchev had both similarities and differences in their approaches to matters. One of the commonalities between the two was that, they both led the Soviet Union. Nikita Khrushchev took over from Joseph Stalin, following his death. Both leaders believed in communism, and thus were for the idea that communism should take over the world. During the WWII, the two leaders shared ideas in regards to the war with Germany.

Another parallel between Animal Farm and the Russian Revolution is Napolean to Joseph Stalin. Joseph Stalin was born on December 21, 1879. He was born Josef Vissarionovich Djugashvili, however when he was in his 30s he took the name Stalin, meaning “man of steel”. He grew up as an only child and was poor, living with an alcoholic father who beat him, and a mom who was a laundress. Later in his teen years, he earned a scholarship to attend seminary. While attending school he began reading the

Through his Five Year Plans and forced collectivization, Stalin was able to improve industry and agriculture. He did this while also using propaganda to brainwash his people into viewing him as a strong and great leader, despite some of the nasty things he did to them. The first Five Year Plan was announced in 1929. The goal of this plan was to increase Stalin’s resources by causing rapid industrialization.

Between World War 1 and World War 2, three primary totalitarian rulers rose to power: Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, and Adolf Hitler. Each one of them shared something in common regarding their ruling techniques and beliefs, but despite that, they also disagreed on a lot while maintaining their power. Joseph Stalin and Benito Mussolini, in particular, shared many similarities and differences in maintaining their rule. There are two main differences, while also similarities, between Stalin and Mussolini concerning propaganda and their way of suppressing opposition. Stalin and Mussolini both used propaganda to their advantage, as a means of helping to maintain their power.

The allegorical figure of Stalin in Animal Farm is Napoleon the pig. Joseph Stalin was the second political leader of the Soviet Union who led a communist government called Stalinism. One example of Napoleon’s communism is when he takes nine puppies away from their parents and raises them himself without telling anyone the reason

Rulers; What makes a successful one? Some could argue the accumulation of land and wealth are the defining factors. Others would assert that population size and control over it maketh a great ruler. All these factors are quite obviously good indicators of an empire on the rise, but not necessarily indicators of good ruling. It appears to me that great rulers build their empire like a sports franchise builds their team; around a centralized figure. The centralized figure in regards to empire is the ruler of said empire. They demand the respect and loyalty of their constituents, and any resistance to such demands is met with the harshest of reprimands. Successful rulers make themselves a mandatory fixture into the society they have built. We

Comparing Stalin to a pig, such authors like George Orwell write an allegory called Animal Farm. Stalin did not stop until he got what he wanted: complete power. As a child, Stalin was hated and bullied, and it fueled the hate inside of him. According to Britannica Library, Stalin's dad was an alcoholic and "beat the boy savagely" (1).

Stalin thought that Russia was far behind the rest of the western world. He devised a 5 year plan to get Russia up to speed with the rest of the world. This is similar to how Napoleon built the windmill. Stalin also created a centralized agriculture

Both Maximilien Robespierre and Napoleon Bonaparte used the revolution as a wave they rode to the power. Without the revolution, neither of them would have gotten to the position that they did. It is true that they both had to work themselves up to get there. They went to schools to educate themselves and the revolution liked the people who were educated. People like lawyers and doctors were voted to the National Assembly to represent the common people of France. A lot of the well-educated people had a much bigger chance to grow as leaders and get to the power. The ones who took their positions seriously and used the revolution to help them get to the power were mainly Maximilien Robespierre and Napoleon Bonaparte.

This determination greatly affected Stalin’s rise to power, and allowed him to completely decimate all opposition to his leadership. Originally, Stalin was a powerless citizen of the USSR, yet he managed to quickly rise to the top of the political field. He began his role in politics by joining the Bolsheviks in 1903. Due to his thirst for power he steadily rose through the ranks of the party and was soon the General Secretary. The Bolshevik insurrection to Russian leadership was successful and placed Stalin in a position of great power. He then used his power to isolate members of the party in an attempt to take away their power and popularity. Determined to gain absolute dominance over the other members, he caused the dismissal, and possibly the deaths, of several of his political opponents. This left him in total rule over the Communist party,

When compared, Nazism and Stalinism are most often debated in terms of totalitarian regimes. Further comparisons can be made however, when looking at how both regimes were able to ascend to totalitarian status and how the aims of Stalinism and Nazism compare. Both Germany and Russia possessed imperialistic ambitions that spilled over into Central and Eastern European countries. Both Nazism and Stalinism sought to build utopic societies by implementing a final and permanent revolution. People that did not fit into to the utopic image created by Stalin and Hitler would be forcibly removed from each society by the use of violence and terroristic tactics. As Nazism and Stalinism rose to power, they implemented a system of inclusion and exclusion by creating an image that all nationals should aspire to. Poland was a victim of both regimes’ attempts at utopia and was nearly completely lost to the annals of history.

The rise and fall of Lenin by Stalin is portrayed in Napoleon’s actions toward Snowball. Even though Lenin had some good intentions towards the people of Europe he was still slightly corrupt and susceptible to being overthrown. Stalin took advantage of this. He soon took his position and began his corrupt rule with the people tricked into believing he was a better leader and had the peoples’ issues at heart. After the attack on Jones, (The Czar) Snowball becomes the leader and changes the name of Manor farm to Animal Farm, which represents the good of the change that has been made. Snowball portrays Lenin who is the first leader of Russia to rule under the new doctrine of communism. Snowball comes up with many great ideas about how to make animal farm prosper even though he is a little corrupt as well. One of the ideas is the construction of a windmill to improve the efficiency. Napoleon, representing Stalin, opposes the idea and after betraying Snowball by convincing the other animals that he is a spy, has him run off of the farm by the dogs that represent the KGB. Napoleon puts the animals hard to work building the very same windmill he opposed at first. This should have given him away as a corrupt leader in the beginning.

Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong are the two most famous statesmen and politicians of the 20th century, who followed the ideas of Marxism and revolutionary socialism. They became leaders of the Communist parties of the USSR and the PRC, respectively. The fact that both Mao and Stalin were followers of communism, dictators who reigned at the same time, greatly influenced their foreign and domestic policies, in which there are many similarities and differences that, as a result, significantly influenced the relations between China and the USSR. At first glance, we can see a large number of similarities in the domestic policies of these two states, which relates to laws and government programs within the country.

Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Lenin were both Bolsheviks looking to make a communist state in Russia. They both had ideals and methods that brought them to where they got to and what they had achieved. While Lenin was more of a democratic follower, and allowed inter-party discussions, he was also a great theorist of socialism. He was also a communist who focused on the temporary capitalist development of Russia. As for Stalin, he was an opportunist politician, and was also a communist mostly just for his personal benefits and gains. He had and followed socialist policies and didn’t have the best personality and attitude, he was quite rude and disgraceful. These two leaders were mainly shaped into who they were due to their past, by comparing them, it will show if their pasts affected their ideology and methods as how different it was, also seeing how with the similar aims, how with their different attitudes and personality, they were able to

His first five year plan was during 1928-1933 and this was the heavy industry plan which was making industries, transportation, and power supplies. The first of his methods was to use collectivization. Collectivization was the making of small farms into one big farm, and this would help increase the amount of products they make, and that would increase the amount of profit. Afterwards the people who were working on the farms would go into the city and be forced to work in the factories. The money then would be used to buy more more equipment which is industrial products which can help boost their profits yet again. Stalin was shown to be a heavy thinker, and to get his plans through, he made propaganda signs and speeches. He would focuses on telling his people the consequences if they didn’t work hard enough as a country, as they would be “falling behind... and those who fall behind are beaten”(Document 1). The propaganda speeches did work most of the time, but they felt hesitant as the goal for his five year plan was averaging to double the amount of, and “tripling in electricity (milliard kWh) from 5.05 to 17.0 in the end of 1933” (Document 2).
