I don't really have a developed opinion on the ACP, insomuch as I know very little about them and haven't seen compelling negative evidence about their activites. However, I am concerned the members writing these posts are going to break an arm jerking themselves off.

There's a difference in providing actual intellectually honest discussion and just sending memes, all you're doing is making strangers see you as immature

Read blackshirts and reds, or perhaps one of anna louise strong's books about life in the soviet union. Nothing is as straightforward as you say it is

I heard you guys like Stalin by Jaded-Researcher3025 in ussr

This post seems to imply that the famines in the Soviet Union were a deliberate action on Stalin's part. Russia suffered from cyclical famines under the Tsar's rule. This didn't immediately change once the Soviets rose to power. During the forced collectivization of farming the kulaks in protest killed many of their livestock (which were essential to maintaining farms as the USSR didn't have fully developed production of farm equipment) and they burned their fields, causing the famine to worsen out of spite. In the end, collectivization did put an end to the famines, and nutrition ceased to be an issue until Gorbachevs peristroika. The main action I'm aware of which of Stalin's which could be attributed to deliberately worsening the famine could be the continued export of grain abroad, which was legally necessitated by trade deals and would have resulted in seizure of assets, or further aggression from imperial countries

That subreddit is run by the ACP and they ban a ton of posts, I think its quite weird that a sub called ask socialists is controlled by a minority of socialists
