Commies already downvoting. Typical.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago

Why indeed would communists downvote an "anti-communist fighter"? Truly a mystery for the ages!

[-] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Agatha Christie fans upvoting, typical

People are going to post Félix Rodríguez hagiographies next and then throw a hissy fit if they don't get 100% positive karma.

Like actual communism ever existed. What we got were authoritarian dictators that basically ran a kleptocracy and slapped a “communist” or “socialist” label on it. Facets that looked like the labels were lip service or token at best.

It's a great idea in theory, the problem is for every karl marx you've got 20 stalin wannabes and 200 gavrillo princeps

Human history is littered with self interested strongmen who are willing to sacrifice those who disagree with them in their climb to power. More so, there are those who aid and abet them - and we get to experience that in the US now - with reasons varying from prejudice to tribalism to misplaced revenge.

you're NEVER going to get "actual communism" because it's an impossible utopian ideology. here's my ideology: everyone becomes a millionaire and drives lambos and fucks 10/10s every day, no poor people, no orphans, no more suffering

communism comes from a lack of knowledge of basic economic principles that are always valid no matter the ideology

Not a communist, but like you've ever known lol.

It's a pretty big hint you don't live in commie-topia when the glorious leader is feeding orphans blood transfusions from his mega-palace while Nixon assures everyone he's one of the good ones.

Hooo boy that trigger discipline 😬😬😬

[-] TsarVul@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

Considering he means to kill someone, it's sufficient trigger discipline I believe.

That AK looks tiny! Like those plastic kid toys.....

[-] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Anyone want to do the math and tell us how tall this guy is?

[-] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Is that an AK-74 with a folding stock? That's right, I played CoD bitches

[-] urfavlaura@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

it's so funny that people actually think the USSR was communist. (spoiler: they weren't)

heres a movie about it with real footage, more of a documentary https://youtu.be/sEZikLuqt68 narrated in english

a lot of romanians nowadays think it was a state-sponsored attack by the americans, i don't know what to say but i sure know life is at least a bit better for most people, and for independent people like myself the much increased freedom is invaluable. fuck commies, any flavor of communism is cancer and should be eradicated
