Idk man modern life is better than life in any past civilization

Capitalism with a social safety net may have flaws but it's better than anything else ever tries

"refusal to minimize genocide is Nazi propaganda"

Stalin murdered even more people than Hitler. History equates them. I just recognize that reality. If you seriously think that's holocaust denial then you're a fucking joke.

So he's minimizing the Holodomor, and all the other forced relocations and summary executions of undesirables under Stalin and other Soviet despots.

Yes. They didn't have the money to properly fight back. Because communism sucks. With a continent span ing empire and imperial authority over the entire Warsaw Pact and Comintern, the USSR was still a decrepit, corrupt shithole of a nation propped up by the shambling corpse of Marxist-Leninist economic theory. Communism fails, and fails again, and again, and again, not because capitalists have unfairly stopped them, but because it is an economic system as badly suited to the modern world as mercantilism or feudalism.

If he's saying that criticism of the USSR is holocaust denial, that is the camp he's placing himself into.

Gorbachev, Stalin, Brezhnev, Lenin, etc, etc. Communists tried to make sure capitalism couldn't exist far harder than capitalists did for communism. And it was communists who declared that particular war. Lenin, in fact, is the architect of institutions like the comintern which took that as their goal.

Yes, yes, everything is the evil CIA's fault. Never mind that the communists had their own intelligence agencies! They didn't have any agency and all their actions were puppeted by the evil capitalists because of how amazingly competent capitalists apparently are. But yeah no let's do communism because even in a brutal dictatorship some liberals can beat the shit out of us in technology, economic prosperity, soft power, hard power, and diplomacy.

Go touch some grass, tankie scum

Tbh I think the worst thing for the socialist movement is the history of what happens when socialism runs into economic and political reality. But a good number two is internal discord between socialists, yeah

It'll work this time, guys! Communism won't mean dictatorship, guys! I promise that there won't be economic stagnation this time, guys! Trust me! I know this, because I believe it!
