Stalin used urgency to clear the way for the new society.

Communist-want-to-be’s today use urgency to promote their projects — everything from the Netherlands government rushing in its attempt to take over Dutch farms to American elites lying to the public about the need for masks in response to the Wuhan virus.

Look at what Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote about how Joseph Stalin used urgency to clear the way for the new society:

How did it happen that the Belomor Canal in particular was selected as the first great construction project of the Archipelago? … Stalin simply needed a great construction project somewhere which would devour many working hands and many lives (the surplus of people as a result of the liquidation of the kulaks), with the reliability of a gas execution van but more cheaply, and which at the same time leave a great monument to his reign of the same general sort as the pyramids. In his favorite slaveowning Orient–from which Stalin derived almost everything in life–they loved to build great “canals.” And I can almost see him there, examining with love the map of the North of European Russia, where the largest part of the camps were already situated at the time. And down the center of this region the Sovereign drew a line from sea to sea with the end of his pipe stem.

In proclaiming this project it had to be proclaimed necessarily as urgent. Because in those years nothing which was not urgent got done in our country. If it had not been urgent, no one would have believed in its vital importance, and even the prisoners, dying beneath the upturned wheelbarrows, had to believe in that importance. Because if it had not been urgent, then they would not have been willing to die off and clear the way for the new society.
