Your comment demonstrates infantile understanding of history and its lessons. Following the revolution, the Soviet Union faced a dire situation marked by economic collapse, civil war, and external threats from western powers. Stalin's leadership during this critical period allowed the USSR to rapidly industrialize, transforming an agrarian economy into a global power capable of defending itself. Stalin's Five-Year Plans were what allowed USSR to withstand the nazi invasion. This industrial might was crucial in turning the tide of the war, saving millions of lives, and liberating Europe. The only evil fucks here are the ones who want to rewrite history.
average sh.itjust.works user right here lmao
The real world understand has logged on. 🤣
What exactly are they supposed to learn? You haven't actually presented any argument or reason, you've just gotten really really performativly agree at the idea of people believing differently to you
What I have learned here is that I'm having a discussion with an ignoramus who is a victim of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Absolutely hilarious that you presume to tell somebody who actually grew up in USSR that they're delusional about USSR. You are an absolute and utter clown.
Let him cook, let the sh.itjust.works user talk about history so far it has only thrown insults.
It's always the same script too, they just memorize a handful of tropes and they throw at you.
This is just even more sad if you really did grow up in the USSR
The only thing that's sad is ignorant westoids thinking they know better than people who actually have direct lived experience.
@yogthos @Sabre363 I've also grown up in the USSR but the image you posted is an absolute false equivalency. While it can be argued that the idea of a communist state is quite liberal, Stalin does not represent that idea. He was an autocratic tyrant and a murderer. To equate the US Liberal movement to Stalin is a grave disservice to the liberal cause.
The liberal cause? You mean the genocide of indigenous people and the enslavement of black people?
When you spew more right wing bullshit than the CIA
CIA. (1953, declassified in 2008). Comments on the Change in Soviet Leadership
You sound very confident in your grasp of history for someone who got it from watching TV or reading from airport bookstores.
