Justification :
acceleration of the construction of the industrial infrastructure
Ie base ie the conflation of department I with investment intensive heavy industry
Why ?
To erect an adequate weapons building machine on top of that base
A Tragedy if horridly brutal and wasteful
but not
just a folly crazed bloody mindless
Not an Orwellian horror story
Real flaw
Belief in the armed workers bastion vision
A wrong heard vision so obvious in hind sight
Look at china today and Russia
Ask this simple question
How did the five year plans reduce the horrors of invasion in the one
And the absence of such human sacrifice increase horrors in the other
