    Did you know that communist killed millions in Russia, China, North Korea? Like objectively more than Hitler? Nazis and communist can both fuck off.

      Again, there were no communists in Russia, Stalin was a monster, and Trofim Lysenko was a fucking moron and con-man.

      The worst part of Lysenkoism was that Russia exported it to China after they knew damn well that it was fucking stupid.

      But again, I can’t stress this enough, none of those places were communist. They still used money, they still traded with others, the means of production were state owned, not worker owned.

      Authoritarian dictatorships with state run capitalism pretending to be communist.

          We’ve come close a few times, but assholes from outside have stepped in to crush them.

          The Free Territory of Ukraine existed from 1918 to 1921under the loose leadership of Nester Makhno. The Bolsheviks under Lenin crushed it, because actual communism was a threat to their authoritarian ideals. Even so, It wasn’t quite at the level of true communism.

          Catalonia in the late 1930s was actually close to true communism, and saw massive increases in the standard of living and overall production, until the Fascist dictator Franco won the Spanish Civil War with help from Hitler.

          It’s a running theme. Every time the people saw enough of the bullshit, fascists and authoritarians jump in and try to seize control again.

          In the slow times between the fascists and authoritarians committing violence against the left, bootlickers spread lies and pro-capitalist propaganda, even when they don’t actually understand the words they type.

              For thousands of years, kings and their nobles were the “strongest society” and then we the people happened to them.

              The entire concept of Social Darwinism is a construct of the Nazis to justify their bullshit, it’s since migrated to the wider audience of right-wing dipshits who can’t open a history book unless it has eagles on the cover.

              Coincidentally, about 75% of the anti-communist activity of the last 100 years has been a combination of ignorant right-wing dipshit and literal Nazis. The world anti-communist league still exists (with a name change), and still spends money on spreading literal Nazi propaganda (with a coat of paint).

              The other 25% of the anti-communist activity has come from pretend communists who felt threatened. (see Hungary, 1956)

                  Americans love freedom, sure.

                  But they sure lack it.

                  Oh, I switched from pro-communist arguments a while back, now I’m subtly mocking you because you have no fucking clue what your own position entails.

                  You, without any knowledge of history, economics, or anything actually relevant, have picked the side of the bootlickers, hoping that one day you too can cast people out into the streets to starve because it’s more profitable to outsource their jobs to some third world village where you can pay rates that are almost, but not quite starvation wages.
