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.

Such a profoundly dense thing to post, it could have only been made up by an American. How can anyone have such compartmentilized view of history is truly beyond me, unless of course they are incredibly ignorant or some kind of Putin's lapdog, like Medvyedev, actively engaged in the denial of atrocites.
The grandfather:
Georgi Markov, Bulgarian screenwriter, poisoned by the secret police.
Jan Zahradníček, Czech poet and writer bound to a wheelchair. Absolutely of no threat to the regime. Tortured and killed.
The 22 000 Polish grandfathers and potentional grandfathers killed simply for the crime of not being born Russian:
Katyn massacre
Fuck fascists, fucking kill them. That includes the officials of whatever totalitarian communist regime you think is "a vibe"
It's mostly narcissism with some ignorance.
I used to hang out in alternative communities. And if you listen to people who promote full communism as a good way to run a society, you realize that their entire proposition hinges on there being no "evil" people. Their mind seems to operate on the idea that their society will be so perfect that there wont be any corrupt people who lie, steal, cheat and try to take advantage of others or if they are they will instantly and always be caught.
Same thing with anarchists. They love to talk all flowery and nice about their mostly anarchist commune with 10 people. And just dismiss the idea that it wouldn't work with 10 million.
What do you think could be a better system?
The Soviets near completely eradicated the Baltic intelligentsia by killings and exiles into Siberia. Claiming that all those people had it coming for them is certainly a wild take. Most were exiled for simply being slightly richer than their neighbours.
My wife's grandparents were exiled somewhere near Murmansk, but were returned quite early because grandfather was a millman and Lithuanian SSR was short on those.
Lithuanians in Siberia
Close to me there is a place where on one side of the road, Nazis murdered the Jews and on another side, communists murdered Lithuanian intellectuals. The Nazi side had ruthless efficiency. The Soviet side had inhuman brutality.
Rainiai massacre
Your stupid.
Nazi literally would sow children together.
Learn to read.
Learn to write
never mind. latter is the case. This poster is a Putin fanboy and Uyghur genocide denier. All his posts read like the typical former /pol/ kid turned tankie.
no doubt i will also get banned for saying this, since they're also moderator here.
go ahead товарищ комиϟϟар, play out your little fash fantasy.
Got to keep pulling out little snippets without following the entire fucking thread.
It's remarkable people will regurgitate the uyghur bullshit propaganda with zero credible evidence but will ignore that ukrainians are primarily Nazi with tons of evidence
It's amazing how shitlibs always assume the critique of US empire automatically is an endorsement of Putin. BlueMAGA is full of the same delusions as MAGA
Oh hey, nice logic you got here. If I find a nazi in the russian army, is it OK for me to bomb a city or two? What if I find two, what percentage of the Russian territory I am allowed to turn into a rubble?
shut the fuck up, you little dupe. The regimes were deliberately evil, there were no 'mistakes'. It provided alternative power structure for uneducated criminals to climb upwards, just like the global capitalist pyramid scheme does.
how do you mistakenly send a wheelchair bound man to rot in prison for writing poetry while his family dies?
fuck your whattaboutism. How does fighting nazism entail 70 year long chauvinist subjugation and russification of entire nations? Do you seriously believe USSR went to fight fascists to hungary in 1956? You think there were secret hitlerites in Prague in 1968? Were dockyard workers in Gdansk gestapo?
"look at germany" i can drive there in a day, cunt. where are you posting from?
you know what? this is just sad. i didn't write any threat, and I am not so dumb to give my info to most likely a russian bot. Do yourself a favor and plant your head into a wall several times if you wish to have your ass beaten so much.
meaning "I can take a pretty good look at germany, who are you to lecture me?" you inbred, socially inept, instance hopping, pathetic excuse for a communist. No wonder you look at dictatorship and see all sunshine and rainbows. With annoying dipshit like you it would be straight to the uranium mines, no matter how loyal to the party you'd be, keep telling yourself you'd be the secretary or something.
Hey maybe you could actually practice your Sieg Heil pronunciation while you're there. Fuck off. blocking you and all your alts.
Yes, and AFD is more popular in East Germany.
What's your point?
I think that actually says loads about east Germany
