Edit 2: Please don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying this because I believe that Europe, for example, would be much better - I’m saying it because I’m from Germany and we have the history that you all know. It’s not too late to put a stop to Trump and his Nazi colleagues, but it will take civil resistance. If there is no vehement resistance, I fear that history will repeat itself. Nobody in their right mind can want that.
You say this while both your country and the US are supporting the genocide of palestinians with barely any civil resistance other than some toothless protests.
you can try to isolate any point of time you want and ignore history but the matter of fact is that nazi germany invaded the soviet union and everyone and their mother knew it was going to happen since Hitler was not particularly shy when talking about his goals on the region or his views on the "judeobolsheviks". this nonsense that the soviet union wanted to "secretly join the axis" is ahistorical and frankly dumb.
"the claim that the Soviet Union was at the time threatened by Hitler, as Stalin supposed ... is a legend, to whose creators Stalin himself belonged.[288] In Maser's view, "neither Germany nor Japan were in a situation [of] invading the USSR even with the least perspective [sic] of success,"
its crazy that there are statements like this, when the invasion literally did happen.
my favorite chicken recipe is literally just chicken thighs/drumsticks pressure cooked with soy sauce. no extra salt or seasoning, just serve with some white rice and stir fried veggies.
I see it more as a subsidy, the startup with more capital manages to kill its competition (if any) due to them being subsidized by venture capitalists and can operate with negative margins, and they turn predatory once they have aquired a monopoly share.
You know how they complain about "ccp subsidies", well venture capitalists are pretty much doing exactly that.
The Soviet Union did more harm than good to the leftist movement and is used as the scary example every single time someone begins to think twice about the capitalist system they live under. Socialism is forever tainted by the USSR and severely struggles to remove that image. Fuck the USSR.
The soviet union literally stopped nazi germany from doing a gargantuan genocide on eastern europe, it's quite literally the biggest leftist victory hitherto and even now these eastern european countries still live off the crumbling infrastructure built during the soviet union period.
Only idiots parrot this narrative that the USSR was unimaginably bad, please educate yourself and purge this comical perception of the USSR, it's only there to make you think there is no alternative.
