Hell, I’ll take a revisionist Russia. Glad to hear they never abandoned socialism, at least.

1991 who?

Quick, the Danes are defenseless!

I had a guy joke at work today – he pointed to his friend who had liquor and said “psst, that’s Bin Laden’s son”.

I looked between them and said “Oh my god, I’m such a fan of your father’s work!”

Translation:

How very… “first-world problem” of you. Do you read what you say before you post it? This is selfish and myopic as shit.

They are inconveniencing you. They are halting the manufacture of weapons being used to annihilate civilians. These two issues do not equate in the goddamn slightest.

Let’s decolonize Russia and China by forcefully breaking them up into tiny irrelevant ethnostates! That’s what that word means, right?

Don’t you dare bring up decolonizing Merica, though. It was conquered fair and square, after all. Plus we’re a post-racial society, anyway.

What really made me question the usefulness of the term genocide when examining contemporary conflicts was reading that Milošević was posthumously exonerated for his alleged participation in genocide during the NATO invasion of Yugoslavia.

Even liberals cannot agree that genocide was the driving motivator for the conflict. However, the staunchest opponents to socialism – those hawks who eviscerated a multicultural nation in favor of replacing it with smaller ethnostates – are staunch in their support of the accusation.

It, ‘genocide’, is an easily weaponized thought-killer best reserved for discussion and examination of historical atrocities, imo. Hawks love comparing everything to the shoah. We see it weaponized against China, Yugoslavia, Russia, the USSR… hell, even the DPRK is regularly accused of having “genocidal” ambitions, somehow. Against Koreans? Who knows.

For real though, I take this as a piece of evidence that the PRC is exporting revolution. It is simply not in the form many of us imagined it would be.

It was almost clever using “control” so many times in your statement, but it made your commend kind of hard to read. I have no idea what you’re saying.

How is it that there is no question of, in your assessment of authoritarianism, how the controllers wound up in control? What class they represent? The median net wealth of every congressperson? How many of the controlled get fucking murdered by the controllers daily?

Scientific socialism is winning. Whatever you’re supporting is half-baked at best, especially if you’re still using words like authoritarian seriously.

Explain “real socialism” to me, please.

Romanian revolutionaries

brutal [capital-C] Communist dictator

I’m glad I’m not the only one that caught a whiff of that Langley, Virginia air. It is too manicured, too evocative, too… Western news media.

Let me try and fix it.

Western-backed fascist paramilitary group

General Secretary of the ruling Romanian Communist Party

illegal U.S. sanctioned coup d’etat that deposed a ruling party consisting of 4 million people and replaced it with bourgeois minority rule wherein only a fraction of a percent of Romanians were allowed political power.

Tangentially related, but I recall watching this Vice documentary about the “witch” mafia currently pulling more than a few Romanian politicians’ strings.

To indicate at how horribly anti-religious totalitarian Romania was, they reference a story of the eldest witch being confronted by Romanian authorities about scamming people with magic hexes and shit. They claim she beat the shit out of one of the officers with a broom, had to pay a fine and spent a night or two in jail.

Are you fucking serious? What do you think would happen if you beat an Amerikkkan police officer with a broom? Muhforitarian Romania! Gommunist atheism has gone too far!

The last one is utterly jaw-dropping, not necessarily because I’m surprised Churchill said it, but how this sentiment has hardly suffered a dent in the contemporary “western” zeitgeist.

Replace a few words, trade “Aryan” for “European”, “civilized” for “developed”, and “barbaric” for “authoritarian”… boom, you’ve got a chart-topping WaPo OpEd.

Nice lie b where you get it

Fucking Russian hackers inventing systemic racism wtf

I find it difficult to claim something as utterly useless as a source whenever it is well-sourced itself.

I appreciate you reading it, regardless.

Because that never happened.

“Stalin did nothing wrong” posts. Where are those, exactly?

We criticize Stalin plenty. We just don’t buy that he ate babies and murdered innocent farmers with his bare hands.
