Had a heated argument with a tankie who glorified stalin and lenin. So fucking tired. The worst thing he’s a discord mod of a good streamer, and i left the server because i can’t be there anymore. Context: i’m russian whose grand-grandparents were repressed and forcibly relocated. Left Russia several years ago because i didn’t want to support the aggressive war in Ukraine. And his american (no offense to amreicans tho) ass tried to explain me that stalin is an actual hero who singlehandedly saved Europe from fascism, and all repressed were rich “bourgeois land owners” (actually, no. but even if yes, that’s a terrorism). Then he and other user started posting stupid tankie memes. Ofc they ignored my questions how LGBT+, religious groups and small nations were treated and deleted the message. I’m sick of that shit. Needed to vent somewhere.
…that’s why I condemn the nation that saved Europe from fascism
…that’s why I condemn the nation with universal healthcare for everyone, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed housing, free education to the highest level, and heavy subsidizing of basics such as food or public transit
…that’s why I condemn the nation that at the time had the most unionized workforce
…that’s why I condemn the sole industrialized nation in history which didn’t engage in unequal exchange and which actually exported its goods to its allies at an economic disadvantage for the furthering of socialism, and which supported emancipatory and anti colonialist projects everywhere in South & Central America, Africa and Asia.
Don’t forget in the Caribbean with Cuba!
Yup, sorry, corrected to add Central America
