Not answering my questions though… You can google the deportations, you can’t google why in the fuck you would think that slavery is a sign of great communism

But these “talking points” really happened… USSR was NOT a good thing… Communism ≠ USSR… All that industry they built was built on the blood of the conquered. Maybe you should not do that?

Fun fact you can do communism without slavery. Why do you insist that an atrocious attempt in the past is the only way?

You can’t make people equal and society classless when you shove tens of thousands into backcountry to do the work.

• How is that classless?
• How is that equal?
• How is militarily conquering small countries not imperial?

Yeah!! Lets forcefully take over all the small countries, import all their natural resources to the mainland so we, the cultured, can live in paradise!!!

Hooray for slavery!

~10 000 people in my tiny country alone is totally anecdotal and surely just some sort of fluke… Probably just American propaganda and all those still living are just having a mass hallucination… Yeah old people stuff…

Anyways I am not against socialism… I think equality is important and the western system sure is not the good that it says it is.

That aside USSR sure wasn’t good either. Taking over independent countries who are doing their thing the way they want and then forcefully suppressing their culture and way of life is not good in my books. It is totally fine to defend socialism, but defending a de facto murderous dictator is not. And of course I can’t ask about their crimes from my aged people… They didn’t live then you know… My grandmother did, she was a farmer until guys with guns came in the night… What nice fellas am I right? Definitely not a red flag… There is a common saying among the oldies here that would roughly translate to “nazis sucked, but russians were literal monsters”.

Which seems a longer telephone line to you - me listening to people who lived through it or me listening to you who seemingly has never set a foot in the eastern block?

So you are saying my grandparents were not deported?

Wtf are you on about?? Go to the east europe and talk to literally anyone

You should really read up about his deeds from the people his regime was oppressing…

No. They were not pushing them barefoot. They were in animal carriages though… Taken mostly to Siberia to work for no wages with no rights. Its literally in living memory here… Unless you want to say to that to my grandparents gtfo man…

Yeah… Trying to defend a dictator that tortured, murdered and deported tens of thousands of people from my country and countless more from others sounds kinda dumb…

Propaganda like putting people on animal trains and giving them a nice vacation in Siberia?
