Here is a shitty little secret: as long as you are clean and look clean your physical appearance isn't the problem.

You either haven't had time to interact with enough people to find someone compatible, you dont know how to treat the people you're interested in dating like they're normal people, or you don't have the spaces to meet people in.

Trying to oppress minorities harder is actively a part of class war though. This is like, marxism 101

To say it is a fascist country is making fascism look better then it is. Fascism doesn't have 95 percent of the population approving of the government. Fascism doesn't exempt minorities from the one child policy. Fascism doesn't end extreme poverty in a country of 1.4 billion people. Fascism doesn't lead to trans youth Healthcare clinics sprouting up in major cities.

The links provided literally claim war crimes, they do not claim genocide.

Also Stalin did some terrible things but comparing him to Putin is ridiculous.

‚In addition, and despite some people (i.e., Norman Naimark) saying “The Soviet Union made no efforts to provide relief”, reports show that the Central Soviet Authorities sent hundreds of thousands of tonnes of food aid to Ukraine. In early February of 1933, Odessa and Dnepropetrovsk regions each received 3,300 tonnes of food aid. By the end of February, the Dnipropetrovsk region received 20,000 tonnes of food aid, Odessa received around 13,000 tonnes, and Kharkiv received almost 5,000 tonnes. Reports document that from February to June in the year of 1933, over 500,000 tonnes of food aid was sent to Ukraine. According to archived documents, Joseph Stalin himself, along with Molotov, personally took it upon themselves to scold Joseph Vareikis, First Secretary of the Voronezh Regional Committee of the CPSU, on March 31st of 1933 for his objection to sending 26,000 pounds of potatoes to the Donbass region of Ukraine. These behaviors including, but not limited to, sending food aid and at that personally intervening to ensure food aid is being given, is fairly odd or strange behavior for, as the “holodomor-genocide” campaigners would say, a “genocidal maniac who wanted to kill Ukrainians”. Truly, there was no reason for Stalin to go as far as personally intervening in that situation as he did to ensure food aid was sent to Ukraine if he was genuinely trying to create a famine to crush Ukraine.‘

You can also find archived docs of that time where the exact numbers and policies are described; it’s in Cyrillic though.

, taking away people believe they can built something made most people dull factory workers

Workers do not see the full fruits of their labor under capitalism, that is right! When worker self management in Catalonia started, factory output increased by 30 percent over the course of a month. :)

Please read upon actual history before pretending to know any of it.

Could you give me a recommendation on history books that go over the slaughter of minorities in Cuba, Vietnam, and Korea then? Since you know so much about it.

Oh, that is what I thought. Have you considered actually talking to Cubans, either people who live there or cuban immigrants who arent aggrieved about their grandpa's plantation?

Communism without unchecked violence, aggression and ethnic cleansing isn’t communism.

Fuck I gotta tell my local commune that they aren't really communist

Also loving the token Whataboutism™

Fallacy fallacy. If we are judging ideologies on how many atrocities they commit, you have to judge them against other ideologies.

even though liberalism is the only ideology that has the capability to support a non-violent society

Lol 20 million people die a year of starvation or lack of clean water under liberal hegemony.

The archetypal liberal state shoots thousands of black men a year, and creates conditions that mean 40 percent of homeless youth are lgbt. It has the largest prison system in history, and has killed millions of civilians in wars of aggression over the last 20 years. You're projecting the crimes of capitalism onto communism, consider criticizing communism for what it actually did wrong.

Taking away people's businesses is a good thing actually, and free speech doesn't exist in capitalist cultures either, anything threatening the regime will be dealt with. Capitalism just has a wider range of things you can say that aren't threatening because it has a more stable hegemony for now due to its historical position.

Started off? Which minority was slaughtered in Cuba? What about Korea? How about Afghanistan? China? Vietnam? The USSR? I mean at the start. The USSR did do some legitimately bad things to minorities (particularly German, polish, and Korean) in the lead up to and during ww2) but that was later on and those paled in comparison to the crimes of their capitalist contemporaries.

I think you're talking out your ass.

Because they want to equate zionism and Judaism.

@justsec@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Conflating antizionism and antisemitism is antisemitic, do not make a similar report again.

Communist countries have historically been less violent to minorities than bourgeois democracies.

Also read the fucking Jewish holocaust scholar's writing and absorb it for a second.
