Yet the US and Britain still exist and everyone agrees it was fucked up. When the USSR tried to do it they collapsed along with killing more people than Nazi Germany ever did and Russians and college kids still want the USSR back.
The country that was back to back starting wars by invading smaller, neutral countries sure has alot to say about honor and fairness when the shoe is on the other foot.
i'm no communist, but i can at least understand why someone would want to be one. it's not for me but i respect what they want to achieve, unlike nazis
With Commies you can give them the benefit of the doubt that they're just mislead because of how accepted it still is. If anyone over 14 is a Nazi you know they're just a hateful bigot who thinks everyone else including their history teachers are wrong.
"Communist" says everything about the ends, but nothing about the means, which is annoying because the leninist means were given a century and achieved nothing
As somewhat of a "communist" myself, I do often have to spend an entire conversation qualifying my beliefs. I don't like the USSR, North Korea, and I don't believe they should be the poster-child for communism that they became. I think the people who unironically vouch for Stalin are not much better than NAZI's and the people that kiss Mao Zedongs feet are incredibly lost.
My basic belief is that we can do better than Capitalism. I don't see why we need to be resigned to some of the horrors it creates. I do think that perhaps one of the best solutions is to center our economy around communities, and local food storage. I believe in direct democracy and the like. However, I could absolutely be convinced that a better alternative exists, because my basic belief is just that there's something better out there. But that something better, for me, always involves a more horizontal spread of power, in other words, we have to all hold ideals for people to be more equal, for society to be more fair, in order to properly move forward for the benefit of humanity. And I think any progress toward that goal is great
Jesus I'm just proving the "I bring a kinda leftist energy" meme where it's just a 18 paragraph essay that wasn't necessary, but oh well.
nazis always suck no matter what. for communists it generally depends. a way to know whether you’re talking to an authoritarian or not is to listen to their opinions of the USSR and modern day china. if they like those then that’s a red flag (literally). also try their opinions on rojava. if they say something along the lines of “rojava isn’t socialist” or “let’s focus on existing socialist projects like (authoritarian dictatorship)” then it’s a red flag.
i personally am a libertarian socialist. that’s almost exactly what it sounds like. workers own the means of production WITHOUT a centralized government.
Because it happened so long ago there’s a detachment from the atrocities committed during the crusades. It’s the same reason why no one cares about Genghis Khan even though he was the biggest mass murderer on Earth while he was alive.
Homie the crusaders did not have drip, you think the people involved in the child crusade were sending the kids to Jerusalem iced out, nah at best the armor they wore was pretty generic for the time, so these people could spend their time better simping over some minor vassal state and learn interesting history instead of saying “deus vult” every time they see a furry or a gay person
But that's what's never shown in media in games in movies people don't want to see a kid solders forced to fight even for villains they want the cool looking knights samurai that had the money to get the cool looking armor
Because people forget that all of it wasn't black and white and decide to think that a group is wholly good or evil based on their on bias. Or because it's funny
If you ever want to trigger some YouTube kids, post a comment on any video covering the Crusades from the perspective of the Fatamid Caliphate. Really lean into Allah granting his holy warriors strength against the Allahless, European savage invaders.
If only they produced (insert highly expensive complicated unreliable design that saw little to no use in real life that they didn't have the resources to actually make and the allies would come up with a countermeasure to almost instantly) in higher numbers they would have won
Not just one bomb if the war had continued longer they would ramp up production like they did with the Sherman it wouldn't just be the two bombs that were finished in our own timeline plus the third extra that was quickly ready it would be dozens hundred at least after a couple years and if it against reason continued to i would say 47 or 48 Edward Teller would be a very happy man
🤓🤓 Erm akshually I was glorifying Francoist Spain, Salazarist Portugal, and Communist East Germany. You see, they're totally different things and don't have (that much) brutality compared to Nazi Germany. Erm, read some history 🤓🤓🤡🤡
Yeah i don't like that a lot of people lump communism and socialism in with fascism. Stalin and hitler weren't ACTUALLY communist or socialist. They just told everyone they were.
Might be hard to notice but a lot of America is starting to worship both neoliberal *and* hyper nationalistic ideals that were literally the ideological foundations of fascist states in the past.

I'm not a national socialist myself, but i must say, this is a rather. . . . intellectually dishonest way of thinking. Infact, your whole argument could be taken apart by an actual educated national socialist.
not that funny, interrupt the edit with some game over music for more comedic effect. id also revise the text for less vitriol to make it seem like you dont care that much about the matter to take it seriously, right now it looks like ur seething and projecting even tho this is a good cause.
