Right, the countries that invaded the USSR in its nascent years, constantly tried to assassinate leaders of progressive movements, couped most countries on Earth.
Communist economic sanctions, Communist covert actions
The projection lol
and a propaganda apparatus far more widespread than anything from the West.
As that joke goes, a CIA and KGB officer meet at a bar. The CIA officer says to the KGB officer “You’ve got a good propaganda machine!”, the KGB officer replies “Well, yours is unbeatable.”
The CIA agent responds with “What propaganda? In the West we don’t have propaganda.”
Your shitty dictatorships failed because they were orders of magnitude more corrupt and dysfunctional than capitalism, and even more oppressive towards the general public.
That you have been brainwashed to only see communist country as authoritarian while the police in your democracy kills black people every day on the street.
I am against dictators and authoritarianism though which I’m pretty sure I made very clear in my comment responding to the guy talking about dictators and how it’s only good when it’s Western democracy
I honestly have no clue the only comment of mine I can find is saying you could take Western out and it would still apply so how long this chain is you’re going to have to send me a quote of what I said if you would like me to respond unless it’s about taking Western out and it’s still working in which case I didn’t say a fucking thing about communists
They’re both auth dictator scumbags who steal from and oppress the people. Dictators are dictators. Left or right, the only difference is exactly who they want to kill. The Soviets oppressed and occupied Eastern Europe and Putin wants nothing more than to do the same.
Thankfully, Putin is less capable than Stalin, so Russian fascist rule isn’t as terrible as Soviet communist rule.
The plenty of the Communist bourgeois and the deprivation of the common people certainly were. The Party members could drive Mercedes if they wanted while the regular people could only dream about a Lada, could enjoy fancy French wines while the common people wait in bread lines, and meet over cigars while the common people were deprived even of the benefit of union representation, as all unions were turned into agents of the state.

Keep crying, tankie

Dictatorship is when bad country, democratic is when good western country
I mean you cam take western out and your statement still works fine.
Fuck authoritarians of any side.
Any society is authoritarian, it depends who wields it.
Your point is?
That you have been brainwashed to only see communist country as authoritarian while the police in your democracy kills black people every day on the street.

Did I say anything about communists?

So are you saying Putin is a not shitty dictator? He’s definitely not a communist and he’s still in charge of Russia.
Nah he’s a fascist. Same corruption as communism, different flavor.
Oh? please explain

So all those price controls under the soviet Union were just them oppressing their citizens?
