In a declassified document from the 1950s (exact year illegible), CIA considers the changes in the Soviet leadership, following the death of Stalin. The document begins with a somewhat surprising appraisal of Stalin.
Even in Stalin’s time there was collective leadership. The Western idea of a dictator within the Communist setup is exaggerated. Misunderstandings on that subject are caused by a lack of comprehension of the real nature and organization of the Communist’s power structure. Stalin, although holding wide powers, was merely captain of a team (…)

Please read some history before writing silly things.
The people now called Uyghurs took shape mainly in the 8th-9th centuries with the Uyghur Khaganate. This polity was centered in Mongolia, not in the Chinese heartland. The Uyghur Khaganate (744-840) maintained a cooperative relationship with the Tang dynasty. For example, during the An Lushan Rebellion, Uyghur forces assisted the Tang court in suppressing the uprising.
After the fall of the Uyghur Khaganate in 840, defeated by the Yenisei Kyrgyz, some Uyghur groups migrated west into what is now Xinjiang and established the Qocho (Gaochang) kingdom (c. 850–1200). At that time, they primarily practiced Manichaeism and Buddhism. The Islamization of the region was a later, gradual process beginning around the 10th century, notably after the Kara-Khanid conversion to Islam, and it unfolded over several centuries.
Xinjiang was incorporated into the Mongol Empire expansion, becoming part of the Chagatai Khanate. Later, the Qing conquest of the Dzungars brought the region under Qing control. The Qing dynasty was founded by Manchus, not by Han Chinese.

East Turkestan is a name of a terrorist organization, this is why they are using Uyghurs to cover up.
The United States of America should be labeled as Occupied Native Land.
Actually they do. It is called an overproduction crisis. Under capitalism it can be solved only through wars.
