literally no one is reactionary itt unless i’m tripping hard rn....

see now u get it thanks fam

yes, it’s a tankie echo chamber.

Shut the f*** up

hope u have a nice day.

also probably the social democracy thread might be more what you’re looking for: ktt2.com/social-democracy-and-social-liberalism-thread-93589

Reactionary doesnt mean what you think it means btw

no I knew fully well what I said and what it means.

My point was that, how do you support an fallen imperialist empire that brutally punished dissenters, then speak a different sentence about America when it commits the same sins, you should be opposed to the carceral state whereever it lies

the doublethink is appaling, but as well as it’s under a red flag, it’s ok

Retitle thread to Communism Thread @OP

Yes the user advocating for abolishing prisons is truly reactionary. Right

Go be a retärd somewhere else

what was socialist about the ussr i’m genuinely trying to understand you guys here.

y’all are so quick to anger.

the carceral state in the U.S. is it’s own beast, now u could get into incarceration as a whole if u wanted to but... with the amount of people the U.S. continues to keep locked up, it doesn’t compare the same to other places. u can criticize both but they don’t cancel each other out or whatever you’re trying to do rn in my view

nah u been doing this bullshit in here for like a whole day or multiple by now

USSR treated minorities and LGBT people terribly under Stalin I'm unsure what you're on about here

i’m trying to ask what makes the ussr socialist and a couple of you got so pissed. i’ll troll here and there but i’m trying to act in good faith rn.

What the F*** makes you think LGBT people were treated better in the USA from the 20s until the 50s

And the USA had Jim Crow law and segregation during this period. Seriously. Comparing this to most things in the USSR is just stoopid.

A common Marxist-Leninist position before the acceptance of LGBT in the mainstream was that LGBT was like western capitalist s*** that should be abolished

I don’t believe he was defending the US.

That still doesn’t make what the USSR did ok right?

If you do these bad faith arguments, i can use the same arguments to discredit the USA and capitalism

I’m not defending America, I’m pointing out both are bad

I’m not a capitalist

So what does the USSR LGBT policy have to do with Marxism Leninism???? Should I call the Democratic Party or liberalism as a whole racist because they supported Jim Crow a few decades ago? What's this logic?
