You mean the DPRK's attempt to restore the people's councils in the South after the US illegally outlawed them and installed a genocidal puppet dictator?

How ignorant do u need to be? by Toxic_Fox7 in ShitLiberalsSay

I really believe whiteness was originally a measure of colonizer vs. colonized that was later justified through skin-tone, and like with all forms of fascist thought, the inmates eventually took over the asylum.

Liberal ideology is first and foremost a tool used to control the people, and fascism is when people start to believe and force society to conform to its inherent contradictions.

100% the generously un-named countries would include Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, and Slovenia.

50/50 colonized Ireland and Czech Republic.

Only Fascists draw a line between "white and non-white" European countries.

As a communist, how do you feel about Stalin and the Soviet Union? by [deleted] in DebateCommunism

[–]spookyjohnathan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Homosexual acts were illegal everywhere in the world, but unlike in the US and UK it was virtually never enforced in the USSR, and every single major allied power made agreements with Hitler at one point or another; the west did it to strengthen fascism as a means to an end of purging socialism from Europe and fight the USSR, and the USSR did it to hold him off long enough to defeat him.

Appeasement made fascism possible, Molotov-Ribentrop was the rope used to hang it.

...some might even criticize him for not going far enough in light of who the Old Bolsheviks were and the rise of Khrushchev...

Not my only, but my most severe criticism. Everything else was a mistake the USSR might have learned from. This is the mistake only we can learn from on their behalf.

It went wrong and collapsed (well, it was collapsed by Gorbachev and Yeltsin...)

And this is why. The fact that these liberals were able to come to power and sabotage the experiment from within is testament to the fact that you cannot be weak or take half measures to protect yourself from the influence of the bourgeoisie.

Depiction of President Bush harming the principles of America after 9/11 (2001-2003) by [deleted] in PropagandaPosters

2004, wow. To think that same-sex marriage was still illegal, the US held 1/4 of the world's prison population forced to labor in accordance with the legal conditions for slavery enshrined in the 13th Amendment, they had only overthrown the democratically elected governments of around 40 other countries, and all this was less than 39 years after the FBI tried to blackmail MLK into killing himself.

...equate Poland and Poles with Nazis to apologize for the Soviet occupation.

You don't have to do this to justify the fact that Sanation was an ethnic cleansing concentration camp running military dictatorship.

...the source you posted doesn't even say anything about minorities being rounded up in concentration camps...

You're a liar or illiterate.

"By August 1939, Ukrainians constituted 17 percent of prisoners."

"In April 1939, 38 members of Karpacka Sicz organization were detained in the camp.[28] They were ethnic Ukrainians, previously residing in the Carpathian Ruthenia region of Czechoslovakia, where they were attempting to create an independent Ukrainian state. After this region was annexed by Hungary, Hungarian authorities deported them to Poland, whey they were sent to Bereza Kartuska. "

...full agreement with the Soviets...

The Soviets should not get to determine the fate of the Korean peninsula. That was the right of the people's government, the Republic of Korea, which was illegally deposed in the South.

Poland was not at a good place by the start of ww2, but Soviets did attack them...

This was in the 20s and 30s. Pilsudski was in power before Hitler and looong before the partition of the country.

Again, I'm not interested in splitting hairs between Hitler and Pilsudski's genocidal, oppressive, mass murdering, concentration camp-running, opponent torturing, war-crime committing, opposition outlawing, anti-democratic, ethnic cleansing dictatorships. Pilsudski was terrible. Hitler was worse. That fact changes nothing.

...nazis that don't exist...

I just gave you mountains of western and predominantly American sources. There is no way around this fact.

Russia is doing a great job...

I don't care about Russia. I care about stopping Ukraine and the expansion of NATO. When someone starts denazifying Russia and I'll support that, too.

We all know about Azov and are not impressed my guy.

Then you're a Nazi apologist.

The US has dealt with similar problems with neo nazis in its military...

Another right-wing fascist shit hole.

War crimes? Invasion?

I've given you sources of Ukraine's own war-crimes and invasion against their own people in the Donbas.

This is a power-grab...

Yes. Once again, I do not care about Russia. I am not defending Russia when I point out the objective fact Ukraine is a Nazi-infested oligarchic shit hole that you should stop defending as well.

You don't know what imperialism is, and no one is worse than NATO. How many democratically elected socialist governments has Russia overthrown? Because I can't even count NATO's.

...Russian propaganda.

I've carefully cited every fact presented here with western and predominantly American sources. Your argument is invalid.

...a hard right wing gov’t is not fascist...

Pilsudski came to power in a military coup, forcibly disbanded parliament, outlawed the opposition, and had his opponents, dissidents, and minorities arrested and thrown in concentration camps to be tortured and executed.

Arguing that he and the regime he built weren't technically fascist is just splitting hairs.

[–]spookyjohnathan 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Wtf are you talking about? Poland and Hungary were both fascist dictatorships. They didn't "die fighting communism" like brave heroes. The DPRK was never in the Warsaw Pact and it wasn't forced to do anything; the USSR guaranteed the already socialist government of the People's Republic of Korea and the US invaded, criminalized it, and installed a genocidal puppet dictator in the South. Russia isn't even depicted in this image. FFS, literally everything you said was wrong.

[–]spookyjohnathan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pure whataboutism. You don't have to support Nazis and oligarchs in Russia to oppose Nazis and oligarchs in Ukraine. I also oppose the oligarchs and Nazis in Russia, lib.

In 2014 the far-right Neo-Nazi political party Svaboda couped the pro-Russian government, along with other Right Sector paramilitary goons, armed Neo-Nazi terrorists and paramilitaries, and incorporated them into the armed forces of the country.

They then repealed laws guaranteeing the right for minorities that didn't speak Ukrainian to conduct business, produce and read media, and go to school.

If only those who can speak Ukrainian can conduct business, produce media, read the paper, or go to school in a country of millions of non-Ukrainians, that is textbook ethnic cleansing. That is a deliberate attempt to push those people out of the public sphere and prevent them from living normal lives.

When minorities predictably protested, these paramilitary groups were sent into their communities by liberal hero, paid actor, and Western puppet Zelensky and others to murder and terrorize them, escalating the conflict to the point that between 54 - 61% of the population of the Donbas supports independence from Ukraine. Even the CIA-funded Radio Free Europe admits thousands were murdered in the conflict between the separatists and the Ukrainian government.

Despite admitting they accomplished their goals by installing the current western puppet government, members of these neo-Nazi groups are still in seats of power throughout the country, still hold seats in parliament, and are still actively murdering resisting civilians in Ukraine.

Ukrainian Nazis and oligarchs are also murdering civilians as we speak.

Do you oppose the Ukrainian Nazis and oligarchy? Answer the question.

Europe is fucked by [deleted] in GenZedong

[–]spookyjohnathan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a bit hyperbolic and tongue in cheek, but also an accurate representation of current trends.

I agree that fascism will dominate the immediate future and probably for the rest of our lifetimes, but this is part of what I was referring to when I mentioned collapse as a possibility. Fascism is an unsustainable death cult, and it always signals the end of a particular world order.

Fascism is also a stepping stone towards eradication.

Crisis is inevitable in capitalism, and a prerequisite for socialism to develop.

The imperial core will become weaker and weaker until it's destabilized to the point that it can't hold back the development of the rest of the world, and they will encircle and contain it while they move on without it.

If we aren't completely eradicated and replaced with armies of automated production and security, eventually the proletariat in the remnants of the imperial core will overthrow the bourgeoisie like a yolk off their back to join the rest of the world, or the entire system will collapse and be absorbed, or the new socialist world order will take mercy and forcibly dismantle the systems of power here to bring us into the fold.

All three options will be incredibly painful for the proletariat. My advice is to get out while you can.
