Feel free to hate, but if you're going to do that, at least retain the ability to distinguish between the fact that Nazis advocate pure and total horror at the deepest conceivable levels and ANTIFA is, at most, annoying. A Communist trying to take the high ground against Nazis. The irony certainly is amusing.

Tell you what, read the writings of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and tell us your thoughts on his condemnation of Communist totalitarianism. Or the convenient myth that Communism just needed to be put back on the track...a corrective hand, a new Communist regime to correct the abuses and restore the virtues of democratic humanitarianism. Tell us how Communist regime's don't show the slightest concern for freedom and individual liberty, that their political system always regresses to model, or even become an intensification of the kind of tyranny they profess to reject.

Ok? It still isn't irony, not literal or dramatic. I don't think y'all have any idea what that word means. Also, I question the practice of equating the authoritarian actions of certain communist governments with all forms of communism and Marxism. Democratic countries have done plenty of terrible things. Capitalist countries have done terrible things. But I don't think that means democracy and capitalism are innately terrible.

August 7, 20205 yr The Soviet Union defeated the Nazis, so there's a pretty stellar mark in Communism's win column. Also, Communism being responsible for the two most impressive and successful anti-poverty and modernization stories in centuries, turning Russia from a dead backwater to the clear #2 power in the world and turning China from a subsistence-farming nothing to the arguable #1. Lots of terrible shit and atrocities and broken skulls on the way, but such is the tale of all nations. Including our glorious nation, built on human chattel slavery and genocide. One thing everyone should agree on, however, is hating Nazis. The fact that you guys can't see hatred of Nazis without immediately "BOTH SIDES!"ing is a mark on your characters, but you're too indoctrinated to see it. #sad If you can't just hate Nazis I don't really know what to tell you. Regarding ANTIFA going wild here in the USA... does anyone have a body count yet? You guys seem to have settled on laser pointers? lol fucking pathetic

August 7, 20205 yr Such intelligent counter-argumentation! Yes, the Soviet Union defeated the Nazis. The Communists not only were Hitler's greatest internal enemies, it was the communist Soviet Union that took on the massive Nazi war machine in the Eastern Front, the largest theater of war in human history. The US tragically lost 400k troops in WWII and the Soviet Union sacrificed nearly 17M people, or 15% of its population, to defeat Hitler. Just some facts. I know our educational system and society at large wants to pretend we did it ourselves, but that's a lie. As for ANTIFA's body count here in the US... still zero? Wonderful.

But in your existing society private property is already done away with for nine-tenths of the population; its existence for the few is solely due to its non-existence in the hands of those nine-tenths. You reproach us, therefore, with intending to do away with a form of property, the necessary condition for whose existence is the non-existence of any property for the immense majority of society. In one word, you reproach us with intending to do away with your property. Precisely so: that is just what we intend.” ― Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto
