Got your cart before the horse: the US controls Israel, the control Israeli lobbyists have over it is secondary to that.

I do not believe so, no

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

and that’s something you can objectively prove, lol.

Weren't you literally just claiming that if Russia stayed in the war the nazis wouldn't have happened?

Bwahahaha

The repeated Bolshevik genocides of Jewish people.

As someone who had jewish family which survived the holocaust, lol, wtf? The worst instance of antisemitism in the USSR was the doctor's plot, which wasn't a genocide.

I’ll not comment on your apparent belief that Nazism was some fated historical inevitability, which sure seems like something a Nazi would believe and not a Marxist.

Nazijacketing me for thinking that Russia staying in ww1 wouldn't have stopped the rise of nazism? Wow.

Yes, slightly improved metrics sure compensate for the systemic nazi rehabilitation /s

And for the overall lowering of living conditions across the former USSR /s

The one boycotted by 6 of the 15 territories?

That's the one, where Russians had less interest in the USSR than the participating territories.

Or the ones that followed in each that led to them declaring independence which in turn led to the collapse of the soviet union?

Sure, and not the presidential coup. Get real.

The baltics were 3 of those boycotting territories and we had similar referendums for independence which, I’m pretty sure, all got over 70% support.

And the Baltics are doing so much better now.

I'm reminded of a story of Lithuania charging holocaust survivors for fighting as partisans against the nazis in WW2. It happened in 2009. They've gotten more fascist since. Wonder what itd be like if the USSR was never overthrown.

But yes. It would have.

Remember this comment so you can cringe at it when you're less ignorant :)

Hey, remind me how that worked out in the end? Did the People’s Government get a seat at Versailles? No? Had to fight a war against fucking Poland first and then get even more people killed by Germany later?

And your argument is “the decision was unpopular,” not that it was wrong.

Wait are you out here arguing that Russia should have continue fighting ww1? Seriously? And that refusing to fight the war led to nazi Germany and their exterminationist war against the soviet union?

Bwahahahahahaha

Meanwhile, the only criticism you launch at the Mensheviks is… They wanted to keep fighting the imperial powers?

Bwahahahaha yeah that's why Tsarist and Kerensky Russia was aligned with France and England

Bwahahahaha

At some point you gotta just come to the conclusion that you haven't read enough on this topic and pick up some books instead of speaking garbage.

Also "the only criticism" that's the fucking big criticism that got them overthrown, which you'd fucking know if you studied history.

Yes, we must have a middle ground between having parasites and not having parasites. Thank you enlightened centrist.

You need to look at the referendum to maintain the soviet union before you say shit about imperialist Russia. Non-russian SSRs were most enthusiastic about keeping the USSR around.

And socialist nations like the GDR were better on gay rights in the late 80s than capitalist nations are now.

And Cuba has the most lgbt equality of anywhere right now

And China is opening state sponsored trans Healthcare clinics, including for children

Meanwhile in the US if you're trans you can't live in half of the country and you're worried about getting hatecrimed in the other half. And you have pundits of the capitalist class calling you pedophiles and "the jews of gender"

Also, gay liberation movements in the imperial core were mostly led by communists, you can't give credit to capitalism for being forced into granting concessions.

Yeah continue ww1, so fucking based

When people complaining about your side latch onto factions that they know nothing about it is kinda really funny
