my fellow leftists: Stalin? not a great role model by any accounts. just. I can't believe I need to say this. yes, US is a violent imperialist state. so was the USSR. stalin was a dictator with innocent blood on his hands. sincerely: a eastern European with other ee friends

Did u know that the ussr among many other atrocities like the holodomor killed and imprisoned a lot of communists and socialists who came there in hopes of a communist utopia. But Yes They were clearly great at communism and a shining example https://geohistory.today/finnish-americans-ussr-disillusionment/

I truly think some ppl have consumed too much light anf dark fantasy so when they realise the crimes the US has commited they think that it means that USSR have to be the good guys this is not lord of the rings, sometimes all imperialist militant countries with nukes are bad

I identify as a socialist, however I think that communism as an idea does not require suffering the same way capitalism, which is built on oppression and class does, but ussr (or their allies tbh) have not been great at communism :,,,)

This got more traction than I thought, if you made it this far consider donating to black lives matter causes and black Ppl in general https://twitter.com/cosmicblackgirl/status/1273826084618788864?s=21

I can’t belive it needs to be said but stop replying to this thread with some ”and this is Why I hate communists” stuff. While I personally am a socialist, this thread is specifically critical of USSR and its allies, not communism as a concept. They sucked at communism
