Funny how your communities have no problem accommodating western libs without any anti-imperialist ideas or rethoric. You choosing to associate with them instead of with actual socialists and banning us immediately even for upvoting a comment shows very well whose side you stand on.
You try to force the human condition into something you think you can quantify and control and call that science?
No, I approach history, sociology and economy as sciences instead of as vibes-based. I support the system that historically statistically fed the children, not the one that claims in theory it can feed the children without having prisons.
Wont somebody please think of the poor princes??? How many kids had to grow up without their nazi collaborator dad there to guide them on the path of fascism anticommunism?
To be fair, there was excess repression during the late 1930s in the USSR, but people massively inflate the numbers and won’t ever tell that only about 1/4 of prisoners in the prison system (whose acronym was GULAG) were actually politically motivated. People also don’t understand that the harsh conditions in Soviet prisons were due to a Soviet-wide famine caused by the Nazi aggression:
The etymology of GULAG is: “the acronym of Гла́вное управле́ние исправи́тельно-трудовы́х лагере́й (Glávnoje upravlénije ispravítelʹno-trudovýx lageréj, “Chief Administration of Corrective-Labor Camps”)” emphasis mine, as it corresponds directly to the above, specifically the camps under the O.G.P.U. These are where those with harsher sentences were sent, as seen in the chart (3-10 years)
I know, I know you from hexbear (this is my alt), I just try to engage with the highest level of intellectual honesty possible when I’m in lib instances because people have the idea that there’s no honest analysis of the repressions within ML circles when it’s exactly the opposite way.
fair enough do you have that graph comparing gulag mortalities in the 50s to amount of DOJ prisoner deaths by any chance? It might be an even better illustration.
And here we go with the cold-war propaganda :D called you from the first second.
Anarchism in Spain led to many, many more gays in concentration camps and murdered than in prisons in the former USSR because anarchism cannot historically defeat fascism! That’s the authoritarianism you should be focusing on, especially in 2026 as we see the rise of fascism once again
Ignoring the part where they’re 100% right about spanish anarchists throwing people in camps because it’s inconvenient for your bullshit lol, try again
If anarchism is to blame for a different system that came after it than Marxist-Leninism is to blame for the capitalist shithole that is Russia today
Literally yes, we Marxist leninists study history in order to prevent the same mistakes. That’s why we have entire books devoted to the topic such as “Socialism Betrayed” analyzing the history and mistakes of the socialists in the USSR that led to its dissolution. Imagine engaging in honest criticism of your own ideology.
Still, Marxist Leninism brought 70 years of development and human rights to a former absolutist monarchy and saved its inhabitants from extermination at the hands of Nazism, and it still survives in many countries like Cuba, Vietnam, Laos or freaking China.

All those queers? Princes. All those different socialists? Also princes. Hundreds of kingdoms, with millions of dollars each.

Afaik not true. The average westerner may think so, but GULAG is an acronym for a specific part of the system.
copypasted my earlier comment
if you would consult the chart from chapter 10:
The etymology of GULAG is: “the acronym of Гла́вное управле́ние исправи́тельно-трудовы́х лагере́й (Glávnoje upravlénije ispravítelʹno-trudovýx lageréj, “Chief Administration of Corrective-Labor Camps”)” emphasis mine, as it corresponds directly to the above, specifically the camps under the O.G.P.U.

Nice chart, thanks for the correction
Thrers an old joke: Two guys in Gulag talk
-How many year you’ve got?
-20
-For what?
-For nothing.
-You fucking liar. You’d get only 10 for nothing
Don’t base your analysis of reality off jokes
This is the highest level of political literacy most westerners will ever achieve

right but this person isnt really the nuanced type, they’re cherrypicking and so am I

No idea to be honest, never seen that one

They also cape for Nazis by ignoring pograms and lynchings to suit their narrative.
Unsurprising

Lol, lmao even
China is socialist, not yet communist, but it did and it does follow the principles of Marxism-Leninism.
The people’s stock market. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Stock_Exchange
The people’s billionaires. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chinese_by_net_worth
Marx famously advocated for billionaires to hoard wealth and to have stock exchanges, he said that’s the true path to communism.
