Stalinism Is Like Brutal Oppressive Socialism
a: Stalinism ~
b: brutal oppressive socialism
What: "Stalinism is like brutal oppressive socialism while Marxism is more like a theory of how to get people to live a certain way. Marx wanted a world-wide revolution while Stalin favoured "socialism in one country". Stalinism is in no way communism, everyone knows this."

Stalinism is like a virus
a: Stalinism ~
b: a virus
What: "In our revolution in Cuba, which is a socialist revolution, Stalinism is like a virus, contracted by the revolution and we must constantly be on guard and vaccinate ourselves against it. We must ensure that this virus does not spread and take over the whole revolution as happened in the Soviet Union."

Stalinism Is Like A Ants Nest
a: Stalinism ~
b: an ants nest
What: "Only because Stalinism is like a ants nest is it wrong to judge communism like that. Its true that humans are not yet ready for it. But we can work towards it trough democratic socialism. It is never wrong to think about a alternative to capitalism."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
