it still paints the picture of a big talker that managed a country into the ground.

I suppose if you squint at it and ignore all the other stuff sure? But the problems with famine relief were mainly local and partially caused by kulak sabotage (and they bragged about how effective that sabotage was, you can look it up), when the central committee understood the extent of the problem measures were quickly taken.

If we look at other facts though, like how successful collective farming was at breaking the cycle of famine and how rapidly the Soviets were able to industrialize, quick enough to defeat nazi-ism lose 1/6 of their population in the fight and still make it to space before anyone else, it paints a much better picture of the competence of soviet democratic economic management.

Sending a fuckload of people to clog up the Nazi meat grinder with their bodies isn't heroism

Except that is just the "mongol horde" myth spread by the nazis. The soviet military was a modern military which fought as a modern military. The "not one step back" order was directed at higher officers who favored unnecessary withdrawals at the expense of ceding territory that the nazis would start exterminating and of leaving the flanks of other army formations vulnerable.

The famine being a genocide was misinfo spread by nazi publications such as hearst press. The misinfo was used as justification for murdering Jewish people as "soviet collaborators"

Unironically humanitarian reasons

Do you think France would be cool with them wearing other garments considered modest by their culture?

I think you just missed their point, which was about the original clothing being connected to modesty culturally.

Oh god I used a reaction emote oh fuck somebody please stop me

"Fear of peace talks"

Lotta holocaust trivialization going on in that thread.

If only people would see this link under posts that were "le both sides" https://jewishcurrents.org/the-double-genocide-theory

If you want to feel worse remember that the main white supremacist street gangs are the police, not these jackasses.

Turns out that we like one party systems where the proletariat is in control and dislike one party systems where the bourgeoisie are in control. Shocking.

And you know how the Vietnam war ended, right?

There was a peace agreement between the north and the south, and then a few years later North Vietnam broke it and invaded again, taking over all of the country.

The US never ratified it which is important because it was their war of aggression.

So basically admitting you don't know the actual history? Maybe start with reading a Wikipedia page or something.

Bwahahahaha

Fighting for money and fighting for revolution in a way that allows you to continue to exist assuming you're not killed are distinct actually. Che had it set in Cuba. He chose to go risk getting killed for his humanist beliefs, not for money.

Yes, that is literally why I brought it up. Is there some subtext to this response I'm missing?

Have you read any marx?

They historically have aligned with or created fascist movements to oppose communists around the globe. Read the Jakarta method, read about the contras.

So did you actually read those links lmao? Because if you did you have to acknowledge you were wrong about what you've said in this thread and I was mostly correct according to your links.
