The standard westerners hold the USSR to, of course, never applies to their own parties. Vote blue no matter who πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²

I don't necessarily want to talk about the USSR tbh. It's a historical entity now, I'm more focused on the present and future.

However, when you start to get people into communism, that's the first thing they ask. The USSR is scaring libs to this day so much that whenever you start talking Marxism, the first question is: "What about X in the USSR?"

And so against my will I am forced to talk about the USSR. If you wanna go there, I'll go.

It would be nice if we could talk about the USSR in terms of successes and failures, as a way of learning from the past. Instead it seems that it is always about debunking myths and horror stories the whole time.

I made that image several years ago when I had a Reddit account.

Here is the dog used on the left. Here is the one on the right.

The font is called Lexie Readable.

This was the famine relief.

Doesnt Vaush have decent opinions on the Ukrainian famine or did he change his mind? I dont keep up with it.

Vaush has some of the worst takes any brocialist has.

[–] toomanyjoints69@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah but what specifically has he said about the Ukrainian famine? I stopped watching him years ago so I was curious if you knew.
