Lol, the entire forum went silent for like 3 days after you asked this question
swampman posted:You should just have a room that is a museum of the achievements of Stalin. Just a nice little informative display about the great comrade Stalin. Nothing negative, nothing provocative beside the simple celebration of a wonderful lifetime of a special guy. That would be easy and also, televisable. You can rotate out various ex-enemies of the Nazi state as you like.
I moved into an apartment with 12 ft high walls, and there's a 8'x12' blank section of wall across from the front door. So the question is how large a portrait of Stalin can you put in your home before normies turn around and walk out when they see it.

okay that's cool. we'll be counting on you.
1. Objective
As we all know, Stalin did nothing wrong, and in fact was a remarkable leader of people and a responsible practitioner of Marxism-Leninism. As such, they deserve a prominent shrine where the learned can pay respect and the curious can be educated. Because it is not always safe to speak freely about the accomplishments of Stalin in this day and age, it is important to establish this in an area renowned for free speech - the brooklyn neighborhood of New york city.
2. Location
"Wouldn't it be difficult and wildly expensive," you inquire, helpless under my authorial control, "to obtain a storefront space in a gentrifying and reactionary city?" Sometimes, yes. However, there are many very small units, even in high traffic areas, that are left vacant for a long time while the landlord waits for the possibility of a higher rent. (Do you rent your space for $3000 a month increasing 2% a year starting now, or $4000 a month increasing 2% a year starting two years from now? $131,396.65 is in favor of leaving the place vacant.) This is why we have "pop up shops." If a business can be opened with virtually no construction, no permits, a horrible little lease that slams shut and vanishes in a cloud of bedbug farts at exactly midnight, and a few other trivial restrictions, then it can exist in high-demand locations.
We also have someone with us who holds a lease to another business, which can be used to show that we are responsible, practiced tenants.
3. Cost
The cost of a pop up Museum of Stalin might be as follows.
Rent - $1000 / month for 6 months, plus a security deposit. We could circumvent deposits by paying the whole term or a large part in advance.
Utilities - $200 / month for 6 months
Insurance - Commercial liability insurance might be as much as $1000
Construction - $3000 including painters, security cameras
Payroll - (5 hrs / day)($30 / hr)(180 days) = $27000 for two guides
Inventory - Varies wildey
About $45,000 overall.
To staff the Museum, we would probably want two people on hand. We could probably hire a Stalin impersonator for trivial effort and at the same rate as a regular employee.
I am not sure what the "inventory" would be. The cheapest option might be a bookstore that contains tHE r H i z z o n E approved literature only. To stock the complete works of Grover Furr, we might actually contact him and arrange for a printing so that we can have a few hundred volumes each of Khrushchev Lied and Blood Lies on hand.
4. Paying for that shit
We would take donations, and if we do a good job, we might actually recover some money this way
Credit cards
Your dad
Other??
I was thinking that each of us with actual jobs could chip in $5000 apiece. Then, we would only need to raise about $30,000.
A certain part would be raised by selling Stalin shirts and hats, books about Stalin, and so on. On the other hand, who knows if we would even sell one thing, probably not right?! Who knows
5. Approach
This would not be a hostile or confrontational project, but one that seeks to educate the public about the life of Stalin in a positive and informative way. Of course, some of history's great liars will deserve some slander, but the mission should mainly be to talk about the achievements of Stalin, sell Stalin themed merchandise or whatever, and refer disagreeable people to appropriate reading material.
6. Consequences
As I see it, this kind of project can elicit anything from an inaudible cultural sigh to assassination, and should be prepared for either.
First, we'd want a provision in the lease giving us the ability to shut the doors and walk away, an important step if nobody gives a shit or if there are bomb threats.
Security cameras are wonderful, so easy to use these days, and very necessary. I also think two people should always be on hand in case of maniacs.
Employees should NOT be interested in arguing in favor of Stalin but should have a list of recommend reading for any particular topic. It would be very cheap to have tea available for visitors to enjoy as they think about what Stalin must have been like, his beautiful mustache and fatherly arms with like, huge, uh, bulgey, umm.... Totally fun to have a Stalin erotica section
It would also be pleasant to have some incredibly self-assured press releases that continually snicker at Empire's pratfalls in their efforts to subdue our God given mission
