I advocate for worker organization and revolution, I blame the Dems for spoiling the left as far-right wingers and I blame the Reps as far-right wingers. Even if every single third party voter in every swing state voted for Harris and convinced 2 or 3 others to do the same, Harris still would have lost handily.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
How am I misleading anyone? What have I said that's false? You might need to step away from the keyboard for a bit.
What genocide did Stalin commit against Russians? Are you referring to political purges as genocide? Famine? What specifically are you talking about? I'm not being evasive, you're inventing history and refuse to clarify what you're talking about.
🕺
What mistruths? You can't point to anything, you just namecall and slander. Point out something specific.
What in the world are you on about now? Can you come back down to the realm of reality, so we can uave an actual conversation? How would I be both a Russian Bot and an all-powerful third party voter that somehow decided this election?
Acknowledge what? Saying I need to "acknowledge the genocide of the Russian people by Stalin" in a thread going over the very real ongoing genocide in Palestine is deflection, for 1. Secondly, what specifically are you referring to as a genocide? Political purges? Famine? Historians don't recognize a genocide committed by Stalin against Russians, they acknowledge excess deaths, so I need to know specifically what you're talking about or else you're going to throw a fit again.
Step away from the keyboard. I'm an American Leftist, I'm a Marxist. I have never been to Russia, nor have I been paid by Russians. This is an absurd conspiracy theory.
You can't answer what you're talking about, you can't explain which of the things I've said is misinformation nor why that is, all you do is call others "Russian Bots" or "Commies" like a 1960s American McCarthyite.
I absolutely can acknowledge the real existing struggles faced by AES states, and can offer contextualization or explanation of how we can avoid making the same mistakes. What's more evident than anything is that you don't actually know what those struggles really were, so you throw it all under the banner of "COMMUNISM BAD," which I can't engage with.
If you ask me about a specific event, time period, action, etc. we can have an actual dialogue. Failing all else, I recommend you read Blackshirts and Reds by Dr. Michael Parenti, he takes a critical eye towards the successes and failures of the Soviet Union in a way that analyzes what actually happened there.
Eventually the real world will let you know that Marxists are right, yet again.
