Wars and proxy wars since 1776.

EDIT: The post is not an endorsement of the USSR. You can now stop fighting for your “team” and start defending the anti-war values you claim to uphold.

    If you think the USSR wasn’t, then you’re not actually smarter for thinking that, you’ve just fallen for another country’s propaganda.

      The USSR was not communism. Even if you protest and hold ground that it was communist, it does not represent communism and was objectively separate from anarchism. You argument is akin to saying that the USA is democracy.

      Republican-style whataboutism. Nice. I never defended the USSR and this still doesn’t change U.S. history.

        If you unironically look at this image and do not understand how it is perceived as in support of the USSR, then the school system is worse off than even I realized.

        Yes, you did not explicitly say it. But the natural inference is that these guys on the right, the USSR and the anarchists, are correct. To shamelessly sit there with your hands folded over like “well I’m only suggesting they’re right about this one specific thing, no one else should ever make any deeper inferences or assumptions, and it’s their fault if they do,” is either incredibly dishonest, or incredibly stupid.
