we’re seeing it again with the Russian-NATO conflict which led to the Ukraine invasion
So it’s the NATO’s fault in your opinion?

And this is why 405000 Americans lost lives fighting against nazism and Japan imperialism? I do not belive how this is both offensive and stupid.
I suppose that you prefer russian, north korean or iranian presidential debate more.

I had one. Besides, I love 80s/90s aesthetics.
For example, explain China increasing in manufacturing output as a percent of their economy as they enter and push into the middle income bracket?
Exploiting cheap workers in inhumane conditions, resembling 19th century capitalism. Exactly what communism was supposed to end. China is getting robotized somewhat, since its society ages dramatically, but they want to keep polluting the world with cheap throwaways.
Also, how the hell is the DPRK imperialist?
DPRK constantly threaten South Korea and Japan. Apart the famous missile launches, it performs abductions, drug smuggling, marine poaching, and spying. And we have cyber attacks as well. The country is too shitty to invade another country full scale, but it does what it can do to be a bully, officially uses imperialist rhetorics and throw threats.
If you can’t explain how the soviet councils were layered and how elections were carried out then don’t pretend like you can argue about this in an informed way.
The elections were carried out in such a way, that an average worker had no chance to vote for a social demoratic party, anarchist party, or liberal democratic party. They even killed their communist opposition, Mensheviks. There is no democracy with a single party system, don’t be ridiculous.
China uses a similar system
And is a similar authoritarian regime.
This is holocaust trivialization. The gulags were not meant to kill people, and the mortality rate in them reflects this.
Setting aside manufactured famine in Ukraine and genocides like Katyn, very cautious estimates says that around 30 millions of people were victims of gulag, with lethal 2,7 million victims. This is probably massive underestimation, since many of gulag documents were destroyed in 2014. But hey, the mortality rate was smaller than in Nazi death camps, great job USSR! /s
This sounds like western chauvinism. Hoe can you be sure?
And how can you be sure? Given nontransparent smokescreen of all red imperialist countries like USSR, China and North Korea?
The other was democratically elected
Oh yes, USSR, the famous standard of democracy /s
end the holocaust
*replace it with the gulag system
Yeah, I’ve heard about the white terror. This does not justify people who supposedly wanted a better world. I am quite sure that now amount of torture in western countries is negligible when compared with China and North Korea, and mostly by intrinsic flaws of e.g. police than political causes. And yes, I’ve heard about exceptions as Guantanamo or Pinoshit. Actually Pinoshit and Franco should not be counted as nominal western mindset, since they are authoritarian fascist piece of shits. I despise all authoritarian despots equally, no matter fascist Franco or “communist” Stalin.
Yes, it also helped to liberate woman and gave them more opportunities, decreased illiteracy and MASSIVE russian retardancy, but overall it sucked at many levels and from the very start:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Terror – look at the passage on tortures. This alone made me to despise USSR.
it creates biased impression that democracy is generally like this. it’s like showing that ussr sucked, so any leftist ideology must sucks too
lemmy.ml and anti-democratic meme? surprised not
Is C++ actually that bad?
When trump says about “left Marxists”, I see far left Marxists in a brighter light (not you tankies, fuck you).
