Calling racism and dehumanisation “disagreement” and “free thinking” is a pretty fucked up framing don’t you think?

When’s China gonna get rid of it’s power?

This is the result of someone who has not once even grazed the same room as someone engaging with theory not to mind engaging with it themselves trying to have a gotcha moment.

What are you talking about getting rid of “power” that is absolutely 100% not the communist stance. Communists don’t even advocate for the abolition of government but for the withering of the state which is a separate apparatus that exists fused with the government in class society.

Yes because we’re living in the 1930’s and not 2026, you are very intelligent. /s

I’m Chinese. I’m not American. Ally to who?

Yes I know Gao Zhen the weird evangelical. And again I wish Americans would do something about theirs instead of letting them run the country and back genocide to bring about the third temple or whatever nonsense they believe.

Please expand

Do you take Christian evangelical on a self proclaimed mission from god to destroy China who speaks neither Mandarin nor Uyghur Adrian Zenz at his word

Or do you take the OIC and UN at their word that their were abuses not dissimilar to the US treatment of poc during a crackdown on terrorism (racial profiling and dragnet policing).

And if 2 do you realise it was quite literally a saintly response compared to the “free world” who in response to terrorism funded alqaeda, Isis, boko haram and more and then used them as pretext to destroy Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Afghanistan killing millions.

If only the US would arest their weird evangelicals instead of letting them run the country and back genocide in the hopes of fulfilling their religious nonsense.

Beria has long been accused of luring hundreds of women to his apartment and raping them. Television footage of the dossier showed handwritten lists of dozens of women with their telephone numbers.

Not really the most compelling evidence, or really evidence at all. This is very clearly narrative manufacturingnas opposed to anything of substance.

This is better cited it cites: Gazarian, “O Berii,” pp. 142-143. I’m assuming it means: Suren Gazarian, “O Berii i sude nad berievtsami v Gruzii”. I find 2 issues with this, first is that this article is only ~40 pages so I’m unsure what they mean by page 142-143. Second is that it’s a memoir style writing of Gazarian who was a former NKVD official in Transcaucasia who was arrested under Beria and later frees to aid Kruschev in his de-Stalinization which given what is known about Kruschevs secret speech (it was full of lies) as well as clear motive (for revenge for being wronged) doesn’t bode well.

I will likely edit this comment after reading Gazarian in more depth.

I wish I could live in a make believe world and have no regard for the consequences of my actions like you.

Literally what you’re doing. 🤣

Don’t enjoy your weekend.

It is still several times more than Palestinian deaths caused by Israel.

Why do you keep minimising US atrocities to Palestine? Hundreds of thousands if not millions across Libya, Syria, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, much of Africa as a whole (as they lost Libya and the Western powers fund boko haram and Isis through the CFA franc) and more suffer and die every year.

Democrats, Republicans, and Nazis are all the same I guess.

The Nazis were quiet literally openly inspired by the US. The only thing that makes the Nazis special is that they did what the US and European colonial powers had been doing to us for generations to White people. They have always been the same when it comes to motivation and action the target is the only differentiator. Thank you for again confirming you don’t see non white people as equal humans.

I think I’ll leave this here. I don’t think an obergruppenfuhrer such as yourself will be convinced to view us as equal humans through an online conversation. I’d wish you the best, but I don’t. I hope you one day manage to educate yourself and stop being a white supremacist shitbag.

Robin Shepard

Have a linknid like to see what he cites (I’m not optimistic given his history though he held fellowships with a number of leading think tanks in the United States and Europe including the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the German Marshall Fund of the United States).

Amy Knight

A link so I can check their citation would again be greatly appreciated (however again I’m not optimistic given their toes to the American “think-tank” circuit).

But not being optimistic is no reason not to check. I just have a feeling they likely cite who I think they do (or possibly they don’t cite at all) but we’ll see.

You keep saying 700,000 children but that’s not what the statistics say is it? You just looked up USAID deaths and picked the biggest number before putting children next to it. Not a good look when trying to position yourself as the one “speaking facts”.

Not to mind I suppose if Hitler ran some charities you’d be pro Hitler? The fact the us did some good for propaganda purposes is entirely outweighed by the fact that they DESTROYED MULTIPLE COUNTRIES millions of deaths can be directly traced back to US sanctions and the knock on effects of the destruction of Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan etc.

You are no better than Goebbels.

Perpetuating the problem by pointing out foreign policy has always been bi-partisan? You are a useful fool.

The only source for this about Beria is a guy named Simon Sebag Montefiore. He’s famous for 4 things:

• Being a loud and proud anti-communist

• Being best friends with Ghislaine Maxwell

• Being in the Epstein Files

• Lying about having access to unreleased Soviet Archives

Now maybe it’s true but given the source it’s not exactly someone I’d take at their word.

What narrative? Gaza was flattened under Biden, Libya was destroyed under Obama. Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Vietnam, Korea and many more were all bi-partisan in your attacks on them.

All you are doing is dehumanising us outside the imperial core so you can feel superior sticking your fingers in your ears and voting for the more competent genocidiers because at least they do it with decorum. You are not even approaching fact, in fact you are so incredibly detached from reality you could likely find more fact in fiction novels.

The fact you try limit to only counting Palestine is clearly debatepervert nonsense, what of the thousand if not hundreds of thousands suffering in Libya after it was destroyed being turned from the most developed African nation into one of open air slave markets, and in Syria now headed by AlQaeda where massacres of minorities are common, and so on.

MAGA is not an abomination it is just America with it’s mask off. Voting for Democrats or Republicans at their core they’re all MAGA they just differ on competency and presentation.

You are disgusting. I can’t wait for Americans to feel even a fraction of the horror they have reaped across the globe so we can return unto you what you have to us “Sorry best we can do is vote for the person who will do the same things but with decorum”.

You don’t think escalating from the status quo in Palestine pre biden to Gaza literally being flattened should count? Also the second half of your first paragraph is nonsense, we don’t know what Kamala would have done in offic because she didn’t get their however an educated guess based on everything she said points directly to war in Iran.

Your second paragraph is so incredibly US-cebtric it’s amazing. I’m not American I don’t engage with your political system because I don’t live in the US nor am I a citizen.

Israel will continue to do whatever they want with the Palestinians

Just like they did under Biden and would have under any Democrat.

What are you talking about? What war?

Not the original person you were talking to.

It was under Biden that the US supported Israel in ramping up to the current stage of genocide in Palestine and expansionism into Lebanon. It was also Kamala who called Iran the greatest threat to America when she was running last time. They very clearly were more than happy to support Benjamin, odds are they would simply have been more competent in how they went about it.

Facts are irrelevant.

Project much?

Pretending to be an arbiter of what is and isn’t science and not knowing weight is a force measured in Newton’s and mass is measured in grams is pretty funny. If they were doing a bit it would be gold. (If only)(One can dream).

Its great for preserving cultures but not so great if you like to travel a lot.

Possibly but that wasn’t the intent of the Hukou system. It’s goal was the prevention of massive slums forming on the borders of the majority cities during rapid modernisation (which in turn leads to rapid urbanisation). There is currently massive hukou reform ongoing such as restrictions effectively being lifted for cities under 3 million population.

Yes they’re against Trumps manor of going about it and are all about virtue signaling when they have no power. Just like how Obama “was going to close Guantanamo”. In reality it was their nominee for president who called Iran the biggest threat to America and continued to position for intervention.

how old are you?

Mid-30’s

What is your experience

Personal experience with the USSR? None. But I never claimed to have any. Otherwise experience: I’m Chinese originally rural but through scholarships I was put in the position to be able to earn a PhD and 2 masters and now live in a city. But this really has nothing to do with what we were talking about. I never claimed to have personal experience of the USSR.

Pray tell what makes you an expert?

I wouldn’t call myself an expert but I’ve read many studies and books about the USSR as well as my second masters being in Marxist Theory so I would call myself relatively informed.

All of this is however a dodge that has nothing to do with the point at hand which is that appealing to experience when in reality you have effectively 0 makes no sense. If you’ve never worked or engaged with any facets of the state appealing to experience to draw general conclusions about it is plainly ridiculous.
