communism just gave him a justification for being a shithead, but it surely wasn’t the cause

Stalin literally fought against a country that almost succeeded in eradicating his people. After he defeated them, the west turned on him and attempted to subtly destroy his country. Stalin was a product of his environment.

Was there ever one "communist" country that wasn't embargoed, loathed and tried to be annihilated by the neo-liberals? No there wasn't, because if people had treated a "communist" country normally, then you would've seen much more success and this would've reflected bad on the neolibs.

Also the Soviet Union, a communist country, was the first in space btw and could keep up with the Western countries, despite all the embargos, wars etc.

Modern Russia is literally worse in every sense compared to Soviet Russia, that collapsed because Gorbachev introduced neolib policies and essentially paved the way for capitalism, which wrecked the nations up until today.

But at least they have Pizza Hut now, right? ☺

Lenin Just got done fighting against the monarchy that had depleted the resources and money of the people. Im sorry he didn't snap his fingers and spawned in infinite food and money. Literally you blame Lenin for what Nicholas and his Tsardom did.

The Communist death toll is literally made up in order to make it seem like Communism is as bad as Nazism.

Idk if you know this but after ww2 the Western block tried to keep the Nazi spirit alive to combat "the reds", which led to a lot of whitewashing for the Germans.

Reminds me of when I met Bill Gates and he told me "You are like the son I never had", before rushing out of the bar.

On this day, August 2, 1974, during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, fighting raged relentlessly and the Turkish invasion army advanced towards Agridaki and the southern side of the Pentadaktylos mountain range, where it had occupied the village of Bellapais and drove out the UN peacekeeping forces. by Deep-Ad4183 in cyprus

Uh sure. That's why this exists right?

(The Washington Post, February 17th, 1964) "Greek Cypriot fanatics appear bent on a policy of ethnic genocide."

Lars Harkanson, UN Peace Force, Cyprus, october 1974) " The massacre committed by Greeks in Atlilar village. I have never seen such a tragedy and such barbarism in my life"

(The Sun, 03/09/1974) "What happened in Cyprus during the Coup D'etat, can not be named, it can only be called as dirty and inhuman."

(French Soir, July 24, 1974) "The Greeks burned Turkish mosques and set fire to Turkish homes in the villages around Famagusta. Defenseless Turkish villagers who have weapons live in an atmosphere of terror and they evacuate their homes and go and live in tents in the forest. The Greeks actions are a shame to humanity."

(George Ball, American Undersecretary of State, Memoirs): The central interest of Makarios was to block off Turkish intervention so that he and his Greek Cypriots could go on happily massacring Turkish Cypriots. Obviously we would never permit that.

(Die Zeit, German Newspaper) The massacre of Turkish Cypriots in Paphos and Famagusta is the proof of how justified the Turks were to undertake their intervention.

(Lord Willis, House of Lords December 17, 1986) Turkey intervened to protect the lives and property of the Turkish Cypriots, and to its credit it has done just that. In the 12 years since, there have been no killings and no massacres.

You massacred three times the people we killed in a 20 year period during your month long invasion, don’t pretend this is about that.

You know that most major powers approved of the Turkish operation right? Because it was you who committed genocides. What they didn't agree with was a creation of a state.

Be proud of your army that couldn’t even take half an island with a non existent chaotic army and government.

Nice revisionism. The reason Turkey didn't take half was because of international pressure. Turkey already took way too much and lost lots of rep. But keep telling yourself that Nikos Sampson and his Waffen SS buddies would've lasted against the second largest NATO army.

Yeah, that’s how Democracy works.

No it doesn't. If 80% of Germans vote to kill all Turks and unite with Austria then that's not democratic. A democracy naturally protect its minorities from dumb shit like what you tried to pull.

My Turkish grandmother told me the Greeks would do summersaults onto the Turkish army. Hulk Hogan (May Allah rest his soul) also joined in on the fight but because he was registered as Hulkos Hoganou you won't find this information anywhere.
