5 hours agoThe US has a history of this: it used biological weapons in Korea in the 50s and lied about it for decades.
And a history of using them against its own people, domestically, for that matter.

Maybe if you didn’t spew insults, your arguments & facts wouldn’t get removed.
Marxists are anything but utopian, and I think you’ve bought into the just-so stories of bourgeois ideologues like von Mises, Hayek, Rothbart, and Greenspan.
1·8 hours agoA fascist “parody” account isn’t something that would be well-received on lemmy.ml, because we won’t allow it to become an “ironic” nazi bar like 4chan. Lessons were learned from Gamergate about fascist entryism into social media spaces. I’m not saying that you are doing that, I’m only explaining the reasoning behind defending against the possibility.

Reason: misinformationWhat, we’re supposed to remove UK state-affiliated media articles about German state intelligence assessments?
Your accent could use a buffing out.
This is one of bourgeois ideology’s last defenses: apathy.
That all the other systems are just as bad.
That it’s just “human nature.”
That there is no alternative.

ty. i don’t always succeed, either.
Okay, horseshoe theorist. I also would recommend Stalin and Castro[1][2][3], as would others in this conversation.
Wow, I wonder what went on there…
Even in Stalin’s time there was collective leadership. The Western idea of a dictator within the Communist setup is exaggerated. Misunderstandings on that subject are caused by lack of comprehension of the real nature and organization of the Communist power structure. Stalin, although holding wide powers, was merely the captain of a team and it seems obvious that Khrushchev will be the new captain.
A lot of the cold war propaganda about the USSR turned out to be bullshit, now that US & Soviet archives have been released, as contemporary Western academic historians will tell you, like Domenico Losurdo and Grover Furr.
But thanks for stopping by to insult me for asking a question, really love that attitude.
Thank you for the resource, next time lead with that and skip the insults.
@yogthos@lemmy.ml, please don’t jump on the uninformed who are engaged in apparent good faith.
I dissuade Party members from putting down people who do not understand. Even people who are unenlightened and seemingly bourgeois should be answered in a polite way. Things should be explained to them as fully as possible. I was turned off by a person who did not want to talk to me because I was not important enough. Maurice just wanted to preach to the converted, who already agreed with him. I try to be cordial, because that way you win people over. You cannot win them over by drawing the line of demarcation, saying you are on this side and I am on the other; that shows a lack of consciousness. After the Black Panther Party was formed, I nearly fell into this error. I could not understand why people were blind to what I saw so clearly. Then I realized that their understanding had to be developed. ― Huey P. Newton
People ask the strangest things of pseudonymous internet randos instead of subject-matter experts.
I urge you to read about Mr. Jones
There have been millions of Mr. Joneses so you’ll need to be more specific. In the meantime,

Regarding gulags, it’s the same as telling me about concentration camps built by the Nazis.
I see you are well prepared with communist materials, it’s the same as entering communist class in the Soviet Union and expecting they will share the truth.
Those aren’t arguments, they’re vague, empty rhetoric.
Famines had been commonplace occurrences in feudal China and Russia, which the communist states brought an end to. And those final famines occurred under post-war conditions, and under disastrous crop seasons that affected neighboring states as well.

I really didn’t expect lemmy to be already filled with russian trolls and tankies.
We’re not trolls, and many of us are socialists. Actual socialists, not “capitalism with a social safety net” like Bernie Sanders or the Nordic countries. I understand if it’s a bit of a shock to leave the echo chamber that is imperial core corporate social media and hear different perspectives for once. Lemmy is “already filled with” socialists because it was created by socialists. You are in our anti-capitalist space.

They’re very heavy, have no wings, and once they get off the ground they lose propulsion.
Not a real thing. “Tankies” are in no way “conservative.” They want socialism, while fascists want to kill socialists and maintain the capitalist order.
