Two things are true at once:

  • They did crimes
  • They fought even bigger criminals

And two things are true at once:

  • Descendants of their innocent victims consider them monsters, and they are correct and valid.
  • Descendants of the even bigger criminals that got "neutralized" hide among the other category, and they are dishonest.

Fuck all fascists and fuck all communists.
When your ideology justifies genocide it means your ideology is pure evil.

Checks notes on Communism...

Doesn't say anything about genocide here chief.

Yeah, or they were LGBTQ+.

[-] zloubida@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

Or a slightly different version of communist.

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 26 points 2 days ago

Or any other flavor of leftist.

[-] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Talking as if the US didn't keep them in harms way. This is a nation that mastered the art of eugenics

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor

[-] Tournesol@feddit.fr 13 points 2 days ago

reading that article, I mostly read that's it's debated and that what the famine were weaponized. Also, commentary on communism being the cause of them is largely dependent on the critic eye

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 17 points 2 days ago

Uh... Who the hell cares about any of that? Whether the Soviets shirked their responsibility to keep their (forcibly incorporated, mind you) subjects fed due to malice or malice-fueled incompetence matters about as much as whether the IDF is mass-murdering Gazans because they want to mass murder Gazans or because they're bombing any target their shitty AI gives them.

[-] Tournesol@feddit.fr 8 points 2 days ago

yeah so… we're talking about weather to put all the blame on communism in general. Communism is an ideology, not a government ?

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 9 points 2 days ago

The OP says communists, not communism so I'm not sure what brought that on.

[-] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 days ago

Its debated by russian historical revisionism Most communist crimed have not seen wide coverage in english. This is why it's not okay to fly swastika but cool to fly hammer and cycle.

I mean, Stalinism wasn't communism, so that's a fair point.

Reminds me of the "real capitalism has never been tried" that right-wing libertarians retreat to when you point out the massive flaws which occur under capitalism – namely that those ills are the product of bastardizing capitalism with government regulation ("crony capitalism"). Where of course they get to dictate exactly what "real capitalism" is against the consensus of historians and economists– usually pure laissez-faire capitalism.

Thats how its starts, first you tell them there are nazis and you want to liberate them from the nazis. Than you invade theyr countrie. Read about siberian gulags and how many “nazi grandperants” were sent there before boot licking these commies.

[-] hakase@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Where capitalism?

[-] superniceperson@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Why is this comm on .world? These people don't have anything but love for capitalism and will never sympathize with another human being.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

How is comparing victims of communism to Nazis "sympathy"?

[-] superniceperson@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

'victims of communism' is a nazi term.

[-] belastend@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago

Victims of Communists is better.

[-] superniceperson@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Still Nazi apologia.

[-] belastend@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 day ago

Nazi apologia is when you acknowledge the victims of the great purge or the Mass Deportations

[-] belastend@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 days ago

They say, as they group minorities, Queer people and communists in with Nazis.

[-] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Can't support capitalism and the marginalized. Gotta pick one.

[-] belastend@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Apparently, you can also support neither :) as expertly demonstrated by the ignorance in this meme.

[-] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I could have created this on .ml but that would be preaching to the choir.

Late Stage Capitalism

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.
