I just joined because it didn't require an email to sign up. Not sure what else happens in this instance tbh.
Authoritarians cosplaying socialist/communists.
Western leftists only like failed socialism.
If that's what you call success, then maybe we should keep brainstorming.
Defeat of Tsarist absolutism, defeat of Nazism, universal healthcare and free education to the highest level, lowest inequality rates in the history of the region, doubling of life expectancy in the span of 30 years, guaranteed housing and abolition of homelessness, abolition of unemployment, respect and promotion of local languages and cultures to an until-then unseen degree (compare the evolution of Occitan speakers to that of Uzbek speakers), representation of women in institutions and having more female engineers by the 1960s than the rest of the world combined, urban planning based on pedestrians and public transit, support of anti-imperialist struggles all over the global south, unparalleled levels of worker unionization... All of this saved a hundred million lives in the USSR alone.
I do call all of this much more successful than any other system we've had. There were mistakes, as in any real political project, but actually winning the class war is one of the biggest markers of success.
They only want "socialism in name only".
Yeah that's clearly working out great.
The climate?
Bedtimes are authoritarian, your parents are tyrannical
This you?
Sums them up perfectly. Pretends to be communist but acts like MAGA.
Edit: LOL looks like the tankies found this comment thread.
Acting like MAGA is when you ban pro-israel discourse and don't allow transphobia to fester
Western leftists believe the only good communist is a dead communist. If they actually succeeded, they'd become "authoritarians"
A ton of tankie stuff
It’s not as bad as it’s made out to be, but there are mods there that are the “whitest of knights” for authoritarians, despots, and fascists while pretending that it’s not the polar opposite of leftism.
Your instance has Zionists adminning it
it's where all the tankies (supposed leftists who don't understand that there's no existing state that works for the good of its people) hang out. tbh I have no issues with the non political .ml users
Back in my day, yall were kind enough to wear a mask and not say the quiet part through a bullhorn.
The worst allies anyone could hope for...
