The amount of upvotes on some truly heinous replies in this thread (and many other threads here) should be alarming to anyone.

Shut up tankie, we can all see your comment history
-
Anti-communism is an open door to fascism. Vulgar anti-communism IS fascism.
The Soviet Union and The People's Republic of China are #1 and #2 for the greatest reductions in poverty and improvements to living standards in human history.
-
I'm a socialist you fucking loser. Shut the fuck up and think before assuming I'm a fascist for disagreeing with you.
The Soviet Union and The People's Republic of China are #1 and #2 for the greatest reductions in poverty and improvements to living standards in human history.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-
Did I say you were a fascist? I said that anti-communism leaves the door open to fascists. And I said that ideologically vulgar anti-communism is the underpinning of fascism. These are both true. If you make your community about anti-communism, fascists will come. And fascism gains power when the capitalist class is in crisis and chooses a less profitable closed society that keeps the left in check rather than see their power realistically challenged.
You can laugh all you want at easily researched facts but they're still true. China. I'll edit when I find one for the USSR that isn't a lecture or a book, but in the meantime reflect on how they went from feudal farmers to the first people in space within a generation
Oh. And they did it without the stolen wealth of entire continents in the southern hemisphere.-
Ah yes, because the best way to defeat fascism is to worship dictatorships lead by power-hungry, totalitarian bigots
-
Hollow buzzwords aside, the Soviet Union literally did defeat fascism.
-
Only because they saw Germany as a threat. You do realise they still put gay people in camps, right? That they deported entire ethnic groups they didn't like? They were only marginally better than the Nazis.
-
There's your mask off, peanut gallery. This is literal holocaust denial you're seeing. You opened the door to fascists and they're among you. You're defederating on the ideological grounds of anti-communism with the stated motivation of making it more of a safe place for queer voices. You're inviting in the kind of people who want us dead.
-
lol it's amazing, yeah the USSR saw Nazis as a threat, the west saw them as an opportunity. AND THEY ARE DEFENDING THE LATTER HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
-
-
There it is! Yes they saw Germany as a threat to their existence because Hitler wanted to genocide them. The west saw the Nazis as an opportunity to destroy the first socialist project.
You understand how you're doing apologia for Nazis now?
-
So the arrest and torture of Jewish doctors under Stalin's rule never happened apparently. And he never murdered Solomon Mikhoels because of his antisemitic paranoia apparently. And religious Jews were never pathologised and forcibly converted to atheism apparently.
Good to see you live in a fairytale land where everything about your favourite dictator is a CIA lie or whatever.
-
This has literally nothing to do with my reply, even if I took it at face value which I do not.
You're trying so hard to justify supporting literal Nazis.
-
-
-
Only because they saw Germany as a threat
I really don't get how you think this diminishes the fact that the soviets defeated nazism
-
Naziism is still alive and well as an ideology, unfortunately. And the Allies helped defeat Naziism too (for their own self interested reasons too) so it's not like the USSR should be accredited with defeating an entire ideology
-
Oh so the USSR fighting Nazis because they faced annihilation is somehow less than the allies begrudging support for them because they ultimately agreed with the Nazis ideologically but feared their destabilizing effect on global capital?
FFS you people are so cowardly. You can't just come out and say you think the Nazis were fine for combating communism because that is unpopular so you go through all these mental gymnastics.
-
-
-
You do realise they still put gay people in camps, right? That they deported entire ethnic groups they didn't like? They were only marginally better than the Nazis.
Are you describing the western allies? Shit sucked back then from all directions for LGBT people. The United States genocide of indigenous people directly inspired the holocaust, Lebensraum was the european spinoff of "manifest destiny"
-
-
-
Just so you know, Stalin still loves you.
-
He would actually put me in a gulag for being queer, an anarchist, and an Esperantist; but if historical revisionism is what helps you sleep at night, you do you.
-
Unlike in the west 😉.
I'll pray for you.
-
Maybe anarchists shouldn't have murdered Bolsheviks and attempted to enact terror plots against the Soviet Union and they wouldn't have gotten liquidated by the USSR?
Just sayin'
-
It's funny how you use the word "murder" to describe the anarchists' killing and then switch to a euphemism ("liquidate") the second you talk about the USSR's killing.
Shows how completely brainwashed you are.
-
Liquidate doesn't refer to murder though. Liquidation means to dissolve or disband political organisations, which is what I was referring to.
If you think that I'm euphemising the fact that the Red Army destroyed the Black Army then your implicit bias is showing because they were at war with one another. Murder isn't something that is applied to enemy armies which have engaged one another in war. I'm not complaining about the Black Army killing Bolsheviks in war. That's what happens.
I'm talking about literal extrajudicial murders of Bolsheviks by the Makhnovist secret police.
Edit:
I forgot that I'm talking to an anarchist.
Sources: Nestor Makhno in the Russian Civil War by Malet, pp. 51-52, 103-104, and 129. Before you say it, here's Malet in his own words in the preface:
It will be clear from the book that the author has some sympathy with Makhno and his ideals, but he trusts that this has not led to gross distortion or untruth.
Kontrrazvedka: The Story of the Makhnovist Intelligence Service by Azarov, pp 32-33 but there's plenty more in there too. Before you say it about him, too:
Azarov was active in the Social-Democratic Party of Ukraine but left that party when its anarchist fractions were expelled. In 1999 Azarov was one of the founders of the political party “Union of Anarchists of Ukraine” (SAU). At the founding congress Azarov was elected chair of the the chief executive organ of the SAU.

an anarchist, and an Esperantist
mein freund you are none of those, you post on the internet and watch v*ush (🤮) streams, anarchists irl are jailed and murdered in the west for trying to make the world a better place, would you like a book recommendation?

And then he pushed the Doctors' Plot conspiracy theories and had Jews arrested and tortured for crimes they didn't commit, but I guess that didn't happen in your little fantasy land.
-
-
Even in Stalin's time there was collective leadership. Misunderstandinga on that subject are caused by a lack of comprehension of the real nature and organisation of the communist party structure. Stalin, although holding wide powers, was merely the captain of the team and it seems obvious that Khrushchev will be the next captain.

Let me rephrase that in a way you might better understand:

Ah shit I just said the same thing @Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net said, ah well guess there isn't any better way to say it
-
-
Today I learner that I, a far left anarchist that desires the complete abolition of state and a direct democracy of the people, is an "anti communist clown that would gladly collaborate with fascists". And that apparently worshipping totalitarian dictatorships is the only real form of leftism and is definitely not fascism with a red coat of paint.
In fact, you're actively hoping for an opportunity to do so, just so you could oWn tHe tAnKiEs
Care to show me where I ever said that?
-
You're defending a literal fascist right now in this very thread.
Moss is a piece of shit and this instance is full of actual genocide deniers

Curious, just a few comments up you said you were a socialist
-

-
You don't know shit about my political opinions
Neither do you it seems. I'm going to assume a couple of things here, correct me if I'm wrong.
- You live in a western country
- you're no older than 25
- you've never read any theory. No Engels, no Marx, no Lenin, no Luxembourg, nothing.
- you spend a lot of time watching streamers. probably v*ush, which is the only one I've heard of so far and god do I wish I didn't.
- your political and ideological views are pretty much a direct representation of the views of said streamers.
- anything to the left of you, you consider 'wrongthink', and attempt to shut down your own learning process by calling everyone who says things you don't like a tankie.
- you don't like tankies because they are 'authoritarian' but refuse to learn what the question of authority actually entails. I'll link Engels' 'On authority' so you can read that and see where we're coming from (https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1872/10/authority.htm). There are also audiobooks because I'm assuming you won't read this either.
- you can't spell 'bourgeoisie' without looking it up on the internet.
-
- You believe that communists stabbed Makhnovia in the back
- You believe that Makhnovia was an example of anarchist principals put into practice
- You have no idea that the Makhnovists had a secret police, that they engaged in the summary execution of political rivals, and that committed genocidal acts against German settlers and especially Mennonites in Ukraine
- You believe that communists stabbed the Spanish Republic in the back
- You believe that major parts of the Spanish Republic are an example of anarchism put into practice
- You have no idea that the Spanish Republic had forced labour camps, extreme levels of control over labourers and the movement and spending habits of the people, zero desire to lose their colonial holdings over the part of Morocco that was their colony because they aspired to colonise more of Africa and that they rejected overtures from the Moroccan people who sued for independence with very favourable conditions for the Spanish Republic, and all the apparatuses of state that you would expect from a typical government
- You are unable to provide a functional definition of fascism without looking it up
-
That’s a pretty big assumption that they’d have enough historical knowledge to even know these were a thing.

The Soviet Union and The People's Republic of China are #1 and #2 for the greatest reductions in poverty and improvements to living standards in human history.
This is a factually true statement. You should check it.
-
Stalin would've thrown you in a gulag for being a "sexual deviant" if you lived in the Soviet Union during his reign. In China you are just straight up not allowed to get HRT unless you have a clean criminal record and your ENTIRE FAMILY approves on top of the standard medical gatekeeping. If even one family member disapproves of your transition (which is almost certainly likely considering how popular transphobia is there) the government is like "nope sorry can't help you there" and will throw you in prison if you try to get HRT by other means.
I do not know why the fuck you want to lick boots that would kick you in the face.
-
So? The europeans were imprisoning and chemically castrating us at the time. It was queer people in the GDR that caused a lot of the social movements that improved Europe on lgbt issues in fact. Here's a great video on that topic.
You are yet another liberal that only views history by comparing it to the present instead of within its correct historical context.
I also don't see what it has to do with the previous factually correct statement. You are desperately diverting away from the point.

Where are all the sparrows, tankie?
-
Where are all the Native Americans, dronie?
The sparrows were considered a pest and the policy to exterminate them was clearly a bad one, but you know what? Trying to exterminate pests that you see eating your food and having it backfire isn't exactly a deliberate crime against humanity. Compare with capitalism which actually is implicated by famines of greed like Bengal and Ireland.
Why did the US exterminate the buffalo? Were they eating your food? Were you trying to increase the food supply when you were doing it? Or were you trying to starve an entire continent of people so you could kick over their last dying armies and fertilize your crops with their remains?
-
The native Americans were not seen as citizens at that time. They were driven out. This was reprehensible.
Fyi this is how all territory, on the planet, was acquired.
Remember ghengis Khan? The whole shape of China is the result of MASSIVE imperialism and conquest. Neither ghengis (or the many other conquesting leaders of China, including mao) or Jackson are alive now, so their actions are historical in nature.
The difference is china did that to their own people, through incompetence, not though land acquisition.
Be clear: I'm not advocating imperialism, but there is a certain difference between killing millions of people through displacement, and killing millions of YOUR OWN PEOPLE through idiocy.
Especially since the four pests campaign occurred less than 100 years ago.
Also great whataboutism, I never claimed america was the gold standard, only that china and the Soviet union certainly don't own the crown.
https://alphahistory.com/chineserevolution/a-soviet-scientist-on-the-four-pests-campaign-1964/
Edit: "lol ghengis Khan old" yeah, he's dead and so are his "voters". So is Andrew Jackson and his "voters".
Edit edit: don't decry me for being "jingoistic" in a thread where I called a guy out for simping for a nation state in the first place.

Lmao great point

As someone with a lot of indigenous family friends and comrades I sincerely hope you get in the fucking pit
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone This is the kind of shit you are cool with? Seriously?
Like this user is literally justifying genocide.
-
Man I'm sorry you had to see that bastard demonstrate how much of an irredeemable piece of shit he is. America is a demonic state built on stolen land, may it be destroyed and the land returned to the original owners, the indigenous peoples.
-
We're actually building an organization to do just that.
-
Can't get any more based than that. Infinite respect for you and your organization's bravery in struggling against such a horrible fucking country. Truly inspirational!
-
-
-
-
but there is a certain difference between killing millions of people through displacement, and killing millions of YOUR OWN PEOPLE through idiocy.
intentional genocide is far, far worse. and every legal system recognizes this. it's literally the difference between manslaughter and murder.
-
You're arguing with somebody who's employing the classic fascist "but the communists killed THEIR OWN people, it's less bad to murder people from a racial outgroup" trope. That's literally what they said. They claim to be an anarchist, yet their point hinges on a pure "blood and soil" reasoning, where genocide is just "land accquisition". Absolute Generalplan Ost hours in that post.
-
oh I know, just trying to get them to acknowledge the fact
-
-
-
The native Americans were not seen as citizens at that time.
simping for a nation state
-
Used as a retort to a "Soviet Russia and china saved the world" comment.
-
Yes, and then you did apologetics for a genocide by claiming it wasn't as bad because the victims weren't citizens of the state doing the genocide, which is:
simping for a nation state
-
No, I indicated that conquest happened. I never ever supported it.
Conquest happened on every square meter of land on this planet.
I also indicated an own-goal is fucking embarrassing,
And if you don't care about that, an own goal of that magnitude takes one out of the running for "elevating the world" or whatever.
No one is a hero, no one is forgiven. All nation states are trash, some just do trash special.
-
-
Soviet Russia did save the world. Did you forget about World War 2?
-
-
-
-
The native Americans were not seen as citizens at that time. They were driven out.
the colonization of america is the greatest act of genocide through all of human history. saying the native americans were just 'driven out' is fucking demonic. then again, i guess by your logic it's fine, since the europeans weren't killing 'their own' people
-
As someone with many comrades from the Lakota and Navajo nations and more I cannot express how fucking mad I am right now about this whole thing.
I would commit unspeakable acts of violence on these motherfuckers if they said any of this to my face.
-
I'm pretty sure it was simply a gentlemen's agreement where the native peoples decided to make space for the colonists by moving out of the way /s
-
-
thread on modern china
‘but gengis khan’
-
It is straight up fascist ideology to speak about violence and conquest as being innate human traits and the natural order of history. It's fucking wrong, by the way. And likewise this talk of human life being worth differently if it's "one of your own people" versus an "other" being killed.
wHaTaBouTiSM
The cynicism with which your accusations are made is fair criticism.
-
The prioritization of the importance of "their own people" is transparently jingoistic thinking that you are just glossing over
-
I replied to someone simping for a nation state. Pot, kettle.
-
Do you not understand a difference between evaluating the merit of a national project in general and, within the context of evaluating one such project, prioritizing the moral importance of that country's own people over humanity in general?
Put another way, giving moral priority to citizens and considering the butchering of "non-citizens" a lesser crime (even when those people were citizens who had their citizenship stripped away from them) is reactionary. Practical priority is a little different because logistical limitations are real, but these people are just excusing literal ethnic cleansing.
-
Actions China undertook as well. Arguably still undertaking.
Point being they aren't a paragon of social justice or elevating the masses.
Which is why I replied in the first place.
-
they aren't a paragon of social justice or elevating the masses
Very rich coming from a "person" who minimized one of the worst racially motivated settler colonial genocides in the history of crackers so he could mental gymnasticize "China le bad" for internet points.
-

-
Fyi this is how all territory, on the planet, was acquired.
Literal fascist talking point, and baby-level understanding of history.
You'd do well to remember that Mao never fought outside of China.
Remember ghengis Khan? The whole shape of China is the result of MASSIVE imperialism and conquest.
Congratulations, you know 1 fact about Asian history. Meanwhile, 90% of Chinese live in lands that were part of the Han state, 1500 years before Genghis.
No one here is saying that Communist China or the USSR didn't make mistakes. If you compare them to the west, the difference is that after the first 30 years, you no longer had famines in the socialist countries. The capitalist countries, however, still had famines an embarrassing length of time after their founding- although some of that was deliberate colonial violence like the Winston Churchill administration stealing and withholding grain from Bengal as redundant strategic reserves, and killing 5 million people in just a few years.
If you see history as anything more than a collection of random facts, you can apply patterns to things that you can draw conclusions from- like "socialist states have vastly outperformed capitalist states in terms of relative development and improvements in general welfare".

-
Don't forget the gnats dude
-
-
First, yeah, sure, Mongolians saw things through modern Euro-centric racism to say "we are all the same, there are no Mongolians or Chinese, only backwards Asians". Second, your defense of Native American genocide basically boils down to "your honor, we didn't consider them human when we genocided them"
-
I don't understand your first point. Are you suggesting the ghengis khan's conquest was informed by "euro-centric" learnings or influence? I'll need a source on that.
Re the second point I wasn't claiming anyone was or wasn't human, I was indicating that expansionist conquest occured in an era of expansionist conquest. A trait not solely owned by Europeans/Americans. China has a massive history of conflict along ethnic and tribal lines, and a massive history of conquest too.
Conquest, war and "dehumanization" is evidenced by their borders, everyone's borders, everywhere. Throughout history.
No one is clean, and no one is a hero.
-
The post was very clearly saying that Ghengis Khan and the post-Mongolian Chinese state is a worse form of conquest and murder because they were conquering and killing their own people.
But the US was killing Native Americans which weren't citizens, so it is not as bad as killing your own people like the Mongolian/Chinese/Mao.
-
Uh, ghengis Khan certainly killed a lot of non mongols. He pretty strongly justified the conquest on such terms. (that, and loyalty/fealty). Many leaders through time did.
All that said, consider football. A point is a point, but an own goal stings worse. Not because the opposing players are subhuman, but you were supposed to do best by your own.
-
-
-
-
why is it worse to attempt to prevent famine, and fail, than it is to attempt to genocide people and succeed?
-
"Killing your own people" Is literally Nazi discourse.
It's how they differentiated between Germans and German Jews. They weren't really 'their people', so it wasn't bad.
Do better.

I don't worship a totalitarian ideology in a pathetic attempt to feel better about myself but okay
-
dont defend ableism and transphobia by doing whataboutery please
-
At no point have I defended ableism or transphobia. In fact, as a trans woman with mental disabilities, I'm actually offended that you're trying to use my struggles to try and smear anyone who disagrees with you. Especially considering you're advocating for regimes that were/are terrible to queer people and/or disabled people.
-
Ok but the context is that
yourblahaj's mod team is really pathetic, they let disgusting transphobic chasers make dehumanizing comments without repercussions, let instances of ableist language go unpunished (one of the mods apparently is an ableist piece of shit), and are fine with racist white supremacist comments. This creates a really awful environment for the userbase, I'm sure you'd agree.In response to this, you bascially silence the criticism ("Shut up tankie") because "muh tankies" are the ones who are pointing this out.
In effect, such a statement is apologia for the mod team's allowance of bigotry (ableism, racism and transphobia) using whataboutery.
I acknowledge the awful struggles that trans people have to go through in this shithole capitalist world, and thus see it as imperative that bigotry is not tolerated so that at least there is some relief from such barbarism in the cyber realm.
Especially considering you're advocating for regimes that were/are terrible to queer people and/or disabled people.
Sorry thats wrong, I hate NATO m8.
-
I'm not having a genocide denier lecture me on what is and isn't bigoted
-
ok but you can look at the ableism, racism, and transphobic comments on this instance and come to this conclusion as well without our input, many users of blahaj.zone aren't happy with their mod team's bigotry apologia too
also please dont call me a genocide denier, I hate NATO and dont support its existence
-
I never said I supported anything distasteful the mod team did. I disapprove of their actions but they are the lesser evil here.
also please dont call me a genocide denier
So we can agree the Holodomor happened and the Ugyhur Genocide is still happening?
-
but they are the lesser evil here
so transphobes, chasers, white supremacists, and ableists are the lesser evil compared to who exactly?
the Holodomor
The great Ukranian famine happened but it wasn't a deliberate genocide against the Ukranian people, it was a fuckup of the state, it is Nazi apologia to use the term "Holodomor" and equivocate a lethal administrative failure to a deliberate, explicit state effort to destroy the Jewish people.
Ugyhur Genocide is still happening
Again, despite the fact that there is no denying there have been numerous human rights violations in Xinjiang, the scale and intentionality have been demonstrably overblown by murdoch media, the american state department, and Adrian Zenz (right wing christian anticommunist nutjob) because they want to manufacture consent to fuck up the region even more so they can get Xinjiang's oil.

I support the political sovereignty of workers' states across the world, and I will always do so.
You are a Western Chauvinist, a reactionary, and an Imperialist; however you can choose to be otherwise by engaging in international workers solidarity, and defending workers' states against Capitalist encroachment.

eventually you will stop being 14. hopefully your brain develops enough by then that you understand why everyone is dunking on you.
