This is gonna be a good one
Lemmy seemingly is more anti Soviet than Reddit, unless you’re talking about the main Reddit subs which is cheating. Seriously I’ve never seen people who consider themselves socialist to be so vehemently anti ussr especially without providing why; atleast on Reddit lots of people try liking Wikipedia or something lmfao
They’re pretty much always social democrats/liberals/capitalists with some “progressive” views who like the idea of identifying with socialism but are spooked by things that they consider too radical.
Anarchists to be fair have a legitimate ideological opposition to the state, hierarchy, and militarism. I don’t agree with them but I can understand them.
I can 100% sympathize with them too, I used to be the edgiest anarchist you could be. Like calling military recruiters baby killers type edgy in high school. Lol. I still go out to weird crazy anarchist punk rock shows all the time, it’s actually not the worst place to organize anymore because theres less drunk heroin addict punks, now they’re all parents or young gay kids n shit.
I used to parrot all the stuff about communism being evil and Stalin and stuff because, with 0 reading, my understanding of communism was that it was exactly the same as Nazism/fascism. I have learned a lot since but I’m still in no position to argue against American neoliberalism to well meaning liberals and/or anarchists at work cuz I just wanna finish my fuckin shift in this kitchen and fucking go home. lol 😅

Stalin died alone in a pile of his own piss. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
And? You probably will too
It is indeed a sad death.
But his life was complex.
Born to a regular family. Getting a lifelong arm injury in his childhood.
Going to a seminary for education and then stumbling upon Socialist ideas and supporting them.
Losing his wife, the love of his life, to some disease.
Seeing the West enabling Nazi Germany in the Munich agreement and making compromises.
Losing his son in the war against the Nazis.
Staying in Moscow when they were at great danger and then seeing the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics defeat the Nazis.
USSR aiding and being friendly to anticolonial movements.sad
No, it wasn’t sad.
Piss does not pile.
That would be too good a death for any US president ever.
Also how do you make a pile of liquid?
After causing so many deaths too. Weird hero to have.
How many deaths? 500 gorbillion? I heard he personally ate them all too. Must be that evil judeo Bolshevism! Scary!

The fact that this genocidal sack of shit was you lr ‘best’ president is the point https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2017-01-17/obamas-covert-drone-war-in-numbers-ten-times-more-strikes-than-bush
But hundreds of thousands of civilians? Nah man.
killed hundreds of thousands of civillians
A total of 563 strikes, largely by drones, targeted Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen during Obama’s two terms
100.000/563 = 177
Goddamn what kinds of missiles/bombs were those drones packing? Were they dropping nuclear warheads?Obama turned Libya into the disaster it is now. Are Libyans not people to you?
Asking a liberal whether they have empathy to people outside their imperial core is impossible. They’d have to start seeing them as humans and not some numbers that they can downplay in order to justify their atrocities.
Justice for Libya
Yeah that i can see resulting in a death toll in the hundred thousands
The drone strike world champion? He might have been the best us president, but that is only because the bar is really super low.
A bar is a bar.
We were comparing US presidents. Not world leaders.
He dropped like 80 drone bombs on 9 middle-east countries every day of his presidency, and empowered finance capital.
Gonna guess they chose him knowing he’s the liberal’s darling and would trigger you.
That’s the point! Your best president sucked.

They’re both shit.
One saved Europe from Nazism, the other dropped like 80 bombs on the middle east every day he was in office.
