I will not defend Stalin and I will not defend the CCP. Just because capitalism isn’t good doesn’t mean that we have to glaze imperialist states. Ask Ukraine and the Baltic states how good they had it during the USSR; my point being that pro-USSR sentiments are largely just pro-Russian propaganda.
China is doing some good nowadays, but it still definitely has corruption. There are still billionaires, polluted air, capitalistic factories—which have terrible working conditions and sell cheaply made carcinogenic products, they’re building AI data centres—some of which will boil the water temperature, bans citizens from accessing a lot of websites, etc.
I even decided to join a solidarity website and it mentioned f**cking Kim Jong-Un as a leftist figure ffs 💀. Literally, ANY North Korean defector will tell you how bad the North Korean regime is. The site had no mention of actual decent examples like Peter Kropotkin, Nelson Mandela, Thomas Sankara, Martin Luther King Jr, or even Pierre-Joseph Proudhon.
Edit: did not know that Proudhon was a bigot. My bad; thanks immensely for telling me.
So how many did he kill personally?
Do you not understand how the leader of a country works, lol?
How many Iraqis did George Bush personally kill?
Oh, so Bush was a great leader. Got it.
JFC these people.
Bush was a terrible leader. But people still attribute the deaths of ~ a million Iraqis to him, despite him having never personally killed an Iraqi.
Do you not understand what I’m trying to say here?
Yeah, that Stalin and Bush were vile leaders with zero regard for human life.
So then Stalin is responsible for defeating the Nazis.
In the same sense that Bush was responsible for defeating the Taliban and all these Islamic extremists, I suppose.
The taliban was beaten? When was that exactly?
The Taliban is and was yet another CIA- funded and trained group, meant to maintain Western interests.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
lol.
I guess all imperialist pigs love propaganda.
