I disagree, it’s a very good thing. USians have had ample time to reckon with their fascist government, but since the price was being paid by minorities and people abroad, not enough of y’all listened or cared. The rot took hold, the violence was turned inward like Malcolm X warned and when the US dies the world will immediately be better for it.

Of course, provided they don’t do the ghoulish shit only they and Israel would, nuking us all out of spite.

Let’s hope it’s not like 2008 and this one is fatal

It very demonstrably is. Credit card debt is at record highs, home ownership is down, rents are a bigger proportion of salary than they’ve been in like a century, one in every five children in the US face food insecurity, incarceration is the highest in the world by far both in volume and per capita, people are going bankrupt with medical debt at record rates.

Just because you don’t want to face up to it doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

Sure, if you refuse to look at the sky it’s pretty hard to see the asteroid getting bigger.

Libs when free, open source, distributed and community supported platforms are not made by people who love capitalism and corporations 🤯🤯🤯🤯

The non-aggression pact that was signed well after Nazi germany had signed pacts with Britain and France? The one that was signed after Stalin’s pleas for an alliance against Hitler’s Germany fell on deaf ears because Western powers were still dreaming that Germany would attack the USSR first and succeed where they’d failed immediately after the 1917 revolution? That one?

Historically illiterate westerners read a single fucking line and memorize it and think that’s an earth-shattering gotcha like we haven’t seen your cookie cutter shit a hundred times. Serious socialists who actually read history can contextualize history, and I’ll repeat it: fuck anyone who diminishes the sacrifices of the Soviet Union against the Nazi tide, it’s barely notch above outright holocaust denial.

all anti-fascist literature was removed from libraries along with general line of censorship to praise nazis after the pact.

Back up your claims with a serious source. I’m sure such a comically extraordinary claim will have hard evidence behind it and not just a vibe.

Libs think 1984 is a non fiction book and Stalin had people killed unless they exposed their belly and peed themselves in front of him

All the love for the USSR from them is just nostalgia for the times when they were carefree kids

Yeah bro only enlightened westerners are smart enough to recognize why they preferred a certain economic and political system, dumb easterners just want ice cream. They definitely didn’t have a better political education than you. Hell, they probably didn’t even read Animal Farm!

Fucking chauvinists I stg.

The world owes Stalin and the people of the USSR a debt that can never be repaid for being the only country to try to stop Nazi Germany before the war and the country which bore the brunt of the casualties and hardship.

Any “socialist” who shit talks them is suspicious as fuck in my book, chauvinist at the very best and probably a snitch.

Khrushchev was an opportunist piece of shit and the world would have been better if he had been kicked out of the party.

Who needs evidence when you have it repeated in so many western movies?

Tens of millions? I suppose it was the USSR’s fault that the Nazis declared war and committed genocide? Or are you crying for the Nazis? Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest.

42, obviously

Anyone who didn’t think genocide was an entirely negotiable part of the platform/a wedge issue nuisance, basically. There were some Jill Stein voters there, some PSL voters, some non voters who are otherwise politically active, certainly a bigger percentage than Dems who think politics is a thing you do every two years for a few hours.

I’ve yet to see democrat leadership organizing for a general strike or advocating for civil disobedience, unlike those others mentioned.

Democrats are the ones criticizing the ones actually trying to put out the fire but doing jack shit about it.

What’s more, they’re the ones who doused the house with gas not a half a year ago, and whenever they’re not delighting in the terror going “oh I bet you must love it, you didn’t vote for the lady with the matches and now you got the guy with the flamethrower” they’re passing his budgets, they’re complying with Musk’s unelected goons, they’re getting on with his Gaza agenda and largely silent about the protestors getting kidnapped.

Asking for donations isn’t resisting, it’s ransom.

It’s you. They’re talking about you.

Keeping with Marx’s proud tradition of dunking on Proudhon for an entire book then dunking on him whenever he could later too.

Yes, sorry. I phrased it differently on the first write and forgot to cancel the negative before posting, thanks for pointing it out.

And they can talk about it on its own terms (that is, more truthfully) because they don’t have the obligatory ritual of painting the entire picture the CIA gave foreign media before they can talk about the actual facts.

Libs refuse to read anything that isn’t young adult fiction and thus are confined to pretending the real world is literally 1984 or literally Voldemort or literally the Hunger Games.

Shit, the brainrot is so advanced we’re getting “literally like that marvel movie” more often than not nowadays bc y’all can’t even read kid books more.

God forbid I want to listen to shit I like while I’m giving my friends a lift
