We participate in good faith criticism of ourselves and each other all the time. Along with historical figures who share our views. We just don't abide bullshit statistics from made up sources that are pushed by organizations like the Victims of Communism to serve imperial interests and whitewash Nazi crimes.
Ahahaha
Good faith and hexbear, ahh what a joke.
Thanks for the laugh.
What's your idea for addressing the problem of Russia's emerging petty bourgeois using anti-semitic violence to protect their power? I'm sure you have a good faith, reality based solution to offer.
I tried that but I still ended up with a general strike, conscripts beating their officers to death, and widespread mutinies in the navy. People keep whining about food and wages. I don't know what these people want. It's like nobody wants to work anymore. I'm thinking about printing more copies of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Regretfully, this is the only way. There is literally no alternative.
Hard to say. I'm a liberal, so history always begins anew every day. There is nothing that we can learn about human societies from examining the past.
How did you do this formatting?
cool!
The button that looks like a piece of paper will show the raw unformatted markdown
Thanks! I asked because the raw text didn't make it clear to me how the formatting was done
That looks like a code block to me. It shoukd either be four spaces before every line or whatever is between four backticks. I am going to test with four backticks.
There is also probably a way to view the raw preformatted text of a comment but I forget how.
The button that looks like a piece of paper (on web)
Thank you! Preformatted is right next to the ^ arrow on pc, no idea about mobile. I asked because the preformatted didn't show anything but raw text.
So you see the way good faith interaction works is that it requires you don't start out with being an insufferable asshat. People like you keep coming in, say some smug cliché, respond with more smug clichés whenever users try to engage with you, and then finally you act indignant when people treat you like you treat others. Please learn what "self-crit" is and then do it.
Liberals don’t understand that everything they think they know about socialism and the USSR is just a handful of smug cliches. They don’t realize they are even doing it because they know so little about the subject
Case in point
numero duo
It’s never specified whether these purges are killings or incarcerations, or just being removed from their position or from the party.
There were periods of excess and mistakes when purging reactionary and treasonous elements in the military and party during a few periods of acute crisis, but a lot of those dudes were legit reactionaries and tsarist remnants as well.
Lots of good Bolsheviks did get got out of disagreements and power struggles and I think that’s a legitimate criticism and great tragedy, but when you talk about these injustices specifically - it’s much narrowed down compared to what figures Liberals throw out.
Try hundreds not millions or whatever, scale is way off
Yeah I completely agree. The critique ends up being entirely pointless or at least requiring the admittal that while soviets did something bad, they were the best of all of us.
I love your posts by the way, never .og off please
well feel free to fuck off and never return then, nobody asked for your presence and we certainly don't appreciate it
Utterly boring.
Here you go liberal, from your favorite source!
