Didn't know the Cambodians, Polish, Kalmyks, Kazakhs, Tatars, Ukrainians, Anarchists, Left SRs, Trotskyists and Peasants were all Nazis. Must be fun to live in that world.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

The Finns who died defending their homeland from naked, opportunistic Soviet imperialism also wish to say hi.
Two things are true at once:
- They did crimes
- They fought even bigger criminals
And two things are true at once:
- Descendants of their innocent victims consider them monsters, and they are correct and valid.
- Descendants of the even bigger criminals that got "neutralized" hide among the other category, and they are dishonest.
Thats how its starts, first you tell them there are nazis and you want to liberate them from the nazis. Than you invade theyr countrie. Read about siberian gulags and how many “nazi grandperants” were sent there before boot licking these commies.
Such a profoundly dense thing to post, it could have only been made up by an American. How can anyone have such compartmentilized view of history is truly beyond me, unless of course they are incredibly ignorant or some kind of Putin's lapdog, like Medvyedev, actively engaged in the denial of atrocites.
The grandfather:
Georgi Markov, Bulgarian screenwriter, poisoned by the secret police.
Jan Zahradníček, Czech poet and writer bound to a wheelchair. Absolutely of no threat to the regime. Tortured and killed.
The 22 000 Polish grandfathers and potentional grandfathers killed simply for the crime of not being born Russian:
Fuck fascists, fucking kill them. That includes the officials of whatever totalitarian communist regime you think is "a vibe"

It's mostly narcissism with some ignorance.
I used to hang out in alternative communities. And if you listen to people who promote full communism as a good way to run a society, you realize that their entire proposition hinges on there being no "evil" people. Their mind seems to operate on the idea that their society will be so perfect that there wont be any corrupt people who lie, steal, cheat and try to take advantage of others or if they are they will instantly and always be caught.
Same thing with anarchists. They love to talk all flowery and nice about their mostly anarchist commune with 10 people. And just dismiss the idea that it wouldn't work with 10 million.
What do you think could be a better system?
The Soviets near completely eradicated the Baltic intelligentsia by killings and exiles into Siberia. Claiming that all those people had it coming for them is certainly a wild take. Most were exiled for simply being slightly richer than their neighbours.
My wife's grandparents were exiled somewhere near Murmansk, but were returned quite early because grandfather was a millman and Lithuanian SSR was short on those.
Close to me there is a place where on one side of the road, Nazis murdered the Jews and on another side, communists murdered Lithuanian intellectuals. The Nazi side had ruthless efficiency. The Soviet side had inhuman brutality.
never mind. latter is the case. This poster is a Putin fanboy and Uyghur genocide denier. All his posts read like the typical former /pol/ kid turned tankie.
no doubt i will also get banned for saying this, since they're also moderator here.
go ahead товарищ комиϟϟар, play out your little fash fantasy.
Yeah, or they were LGBTQ+.
Or a slightly different version of communist.
Or any other flavor of leftist.
reading that article, I mostly read that's it's debated and that what the famine were weaponized. Also, commentary on communism being the cause of them is largely dependent on the critic eye
Its debated by russian historical revisionism Most communist crimed have not seen wide coverage in english. This is why it's not okay to fly swastika but cool to fly hammer and cycle.
You can fly the hammer and sickle the same way you can fly the US flag, or the Chinese, or UK, or Turkish flags.
The difference being having a flag under which atrocities were done, vs having a flag that represents the reason behind those atrocities.
Uhhh... Who's going to tell them what the official national flag of Germany was from 1935 to 1945?
Uh... Who the hell cares about any of that? Whether the Soviets shirked their responsibility to keep their (forcibly incorporated, mind you) subjects fed due to malice or malice-fueled incompetence matters about as much as whether the IDF is mass-murdering Gazans because they want to mass murder Gazans or because they're bombing any target their shitty AI gives them.
yeah so… we're talking about weather to put all the blame on communism in general. Communism is an ideology, not a government ?
The OP says communists, not communism so I'm not sure what brought that on.
I mean, Stalinism wasn't communism, so that's a fair point.
Reminds me of the "real capitalism has never been tried" that right-wing libertarians retreat to when you point out the massive flaws which occur under capitalism – namely that those ills are the product of bastardizing capitalism with government regulation ("crony capitalism"). Where of course they get to dictate exactly what "real capitalism" is against the consensus of historians and economists– usually pure laissez-faire capitalism.
That is a pretty wild generalisation to make. From me claiming one person that pretended to be a communist wasn't to somehow me being a... Soviet fanboy or something? Stalin and Mao both committed atrocities, pretending to be something they aren't. China keeps doing it to this day, as does DPRK. Lenin wasn't a saint folks over at .ml pretend he was either. People get corrupted by power, it happens depressingly often under any political ideology.

I went through her papers with my grandma and there was also a letter from his death notification.
