  • The cold war never became hot

    Tell that to the millions of people the west murdered through bombing of Korea, Vietnam or Laos, the millions more murdered though US support of military dictators such as Suharto or Pinochet, or the millions who died through the de-stabilization of their countries such as Mosaddeq's Iran, Guatemala or the outright invasion of Iraq. Ask those people what they think of the west's military expenses over the past century.

    Democracies have more freedoms allowing for more accurate polling. There is also less fear of consequences for being open

    Literally two days ago Mamdani won the mayoral elections against all polls, polls in the west are heavily manipulated. And literally last week a man was denied entry in the country due to having a picture of bald Vance. I happen to be Spanish, and in our super-democratic state we have literal political prisoners who had to free the country such as Carles Puigdemont due to political persecution and risking their lives in jail. The west is NOT more democratic than China at this point, and the trend is towards openness in China and towards fascism in the west.

  • You're right, it's so well-implemented in the rest of the world, such as in my home country of Spain where the supreme court is trying to enjail Catalonian politicians against international law. Surely the idea that law should be ultimately judged by a group of old people who select each other is the best way possible for law to work!

  • China would love so much to rule the world, that's why it hasn't entered any war in the past 40+ years, and that's why all countries in the global south are happy to enter the comparably advantageous economic deals and infrastructure investments that China offers in comparison with the magnificent western democracies.

    How many countries has China bombed in the past 40 years? Let's now make a list for the USA, see who wins!

    As for "dictator", look at the approval rates of Xi in China and compare them to those of Kid Starver in the UK, Trump in the US, or Macron in France. I guess democracy is best represented by the system that lets you choose which hateful ghoul will apply social austerity policy and invest 5% of GDP in NATO.

  • Huh, who would'a thunk that "separation of powers" and "checks and balances" were just tools to simultaneously prevent progressive policy from being passed, and to give a semblance of democracy from a capitalist empire

  • Fair enough, I can't read Hungarian.

    Now, do you have any sources of rape statistics by Nazis in Belarus, or by Americans in west-germany? Or maybe those things weren't studied and publicised because that would be against the objective of propagating anticommunist propaganda?

    BTW, why is your focus on Russians? Don't you know the Red Army had sizeable proportions of Ukrainians, Belarusians, Kazakh, and many of the ethnical minorities within Russia proper?

  • Hungary in 1941 was an Axis power. Whatever "information" coming from "a Hungarian doctor" would literally be like basing a study on what "Nazi doctors" had to say about Soviet troops in Germany, literally no reason to take it seriously, as i said it's Nazi propaganda. Furthermore, this is a contemporary study paid for with EU money and carried out by a Hungarian government agency. Why do you take so seriously anti-Russian governments made propaganda? If you're Hungarian and you're against the Soviets, I have bad news: you're standing with the Nazis.

  • In 1918 Poland decided to unilaterally invade modern Ukraine and Belarus because of nationalist expansionist beliefs, you can read about it on the wikipedia article or the Polish-Ukrainian war.

    In 1939 the Soviet Union recovered those territories and gave them back to the Belarusian and Ukrainian SSRs, which Poles are still crying about. If you care about seeing maps representing this I can give you sources no problem since I'm arguing from good faith.

    After 1945, Poland was forced by the USSR to give reparations in order to compensate for the lack of mutual defense agreement against Nazis before 1939, which was a mistaken policy that led to a lot of insatisfaction in Poland. After the mid-1950s, the Soviet Union removed these reparations and instead started subsidising the Polish socialist nation with cheap resources and industrialising it.

    What part of 1969 is relevant to you?

  • The Houthis and Hezbollah are the only people in the world with a spine to attempt some fight against the 21st century Nazis, Iran arming them is a moral thing. The Nazis weren't defeated with nice words in the previous century, and they won't be in this one either.
