Damn communists

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
- Communism is bad. Socialism is good.
  
  How about liberals try not equating Communism and Nazism for once? I bet you own a house.

"Good."

My mom was just telling me a while ago about how one of her uncles was tortured by the communists after they came to power. Small note: he was a member of the legionnaires, so I can relate to this meme.
- Sounds like a racist who was a part of a terrorist group.
  Both can be pieces of shit.

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.
- The Finns who died defending their homeland from naked, opportunistic Soviet imperialism also wish to say hi.
  
  Ah yes, the poor innocent nazi aligned fins "only doing it to fight communism."

- Got to keep pulling out little snippets without following the entire fucking thread.
  It's remarkable people will regurgitate the uyghur bullshit propaganda with zero credible evidence but will ignore that ukrainians are primarily Nazi with tons of evidence
  It's amazing how shitlibs always assume the critique of US empire automatically is an endorsement of Putin. BlueMAGA is full of the same delusions as MAGA
- 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.
  Lithuanians in Siberia
  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.
  Rainiai massacre
  
  Your stupid.
  Nazi literally would sow children together.
  Learn to read.
- 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,
  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?

First they came for the grandfathers and I did not speak out, for my grandfather was a Nazi.

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.
- The only correct take in capitalism-communism discourse
  
  No, this is the for the Communism-fascism discourse.
  When it comes to Communism-capitalism, my take is that while we are able, correct and valid to pinpoint the crimes of (big-C) Communists, we are steeped in (small-c) capitalist ideology and are completely desensitized to the ongoing systemic crimes of our own system, which are in my opinion graver than anything the (big-C) Communists ever did.

Did Trotsky have grandchildren? Or did the Communists exterminate his entire family line?
- His grandson died 2 years ago https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/06/17/este-j17.html
- Yes, plenty. of his great granddaughters is an official at the NIH https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nora_Volkow
  
  Oh cool, I'm going to listen to her thing with The Moth later, thank you!

Yeah, or they were LGBTQ+.
- Or a slightly different version of communist.
  
  Or any other flavor of leftist.
- Talking as if the US didn't keep them in harms way. This is a nation that mastered the art of eugenics
  
  And worked hard to save and evacuate nazis.
  Among them Mengele who Hitler sent to the US (Carnegie's American Eugenics Society) to learn about the superior Nordic race.
  US army only joined in in Europe after they knew the Soviets would win and would get all of it if they didn't get a piece in the west.

I mean you can say that. At the same time I grew up in a communist country where your neighbours were disappeared for whatever reason that authorities saw fit. I saw the oligarchs keep their power under a different name and regular folk stay poor, and get even poorer than before. You American kids love the idea of communism but it don’t work in practice, it requires humans to be selfless, it requires leaders who will reach the top and give up power and money, and spread it to the people below. I don’t think that’s possible with humans, too selfish. Socialism under direct rules and regulations, great. But strong man communism isn’t different than fascism or capitalism to the people at the bottom
- I can’t believe you called me American.
- Nice joke
  
  The only joke is believing what Russia does or has ever done should inform your opinion on whether a system is viable.
  Those dudes just love the taste of boot, simple as.
- Too bad there's not a comm for enlightenedcentrism around here
  
  They literally say they grew up in Canada repeatedly in earlier comments they've made , TIL Canada is AES
  
  Enlightened centrism is when you don't want your neighbors to be disappeared.

- Mao Zedong is a hero who fought against Western imperialism and for the working class.
  
  Mao killed more Chinese people than anyone else.
  He put more into fighting Japanese imperialism and Soviet imperialism. The way he fought western imperialism is by banning books and putting intellectuals into work camps or killing them outright.
- Your entire comment history reads like a typical BlueMAGA shitlib, you are an enabler of fascism
  
  You guys focus way too much on division.
  
  They always are. Cowards who are to chicken to admit what they believe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor
- 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
  
  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.
  
  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.
  
  I mean, Stalinism wasn't communism, so that's a fair point.

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.

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

- You advocating for Democrats makes you a supporter of that fascism. 50 years of liberal 'lesser evil' was actually incremental fascism
  
  I am not an American, I am not advocating for your Democractic Party at all. Both of your parties are supporting the genocide in Gaza.
  And there are no alternative parties that have a chance to govern, your country is fucking broken.
- Checks notes on Communism...
  Doesn't say anything about genocide here chief.

Why is this comm on .world? These people don't have anything but love for capitalism and will never sympathize with another human being.
- How is comparing victims of communism to Nazis "sympathy"?
  
  'victims of communism' is a nazi term.
- They say, as they group minorities, Queer people and communists in with Nazis.
  
  Can't support capitalism and the marginalized. Gotta pick one.
- I could have created this on .ml but that would be preaching to the choir.
