First, chill :) Second, it was a joke referencing how everytime socialism fails you hear a leftie saying "but that wasn't true socialism".
I would love to hear an example of successful socialist country :)
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I'm still waiting to hear about a capitalist system that hasn't slaughtered hundreds of millions
Now tell me about all that "failure", want to learn more about how a democratic nation actually functions?
Remember, the capitalists had the benefit of being decades later with that massive increase in technology
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union_referendum,_1991
how about the fact that 80% of the members of the ussr voted to keep it socialist, but the opportunist they stupidly relied on destroyed all hope?
With this video I finish proving the most important points: Less death, more resources, popular support, and freedom.
40% of people approve trump, stalin just hit the highest in years at 83%.
How do you feel about that propaganda your school taught you now?
i) Yeah fewer deaths. Go say that to a polish guy ;) The attrocities of the USSR are too many to count
ii) Are these the same numbers that were saying how Trump would never win the elections?
iii) Approval means jack shit. Hitler won the elections, remember?
'ii) Are these the same numbers that were saying how Trump would never win the elections?"
no they are the numbers that prove a two party system is not anything close to a democracy
the polish lands taken were originally russian and were needed to defend against the nazis,
let me guess, you think iraq is justified
Oh yeah, you are talking about that time when the NAZIs where still the good guys, right?

if nobody thought they were the good guys they could never do bad things
Holy shit, dropping info on em.
"iii) Approval means jack shit. Hitler won the elections, remember?
"
at least do research
"There are indicators that Hitler’s popularity peaked in 1939 at somewhere close to 80, or 90% just before the war and fell well below 50% as the war progressed."
Yeah 83% when you don't have a choice and if you mock the demi-god ruler that controls the elections you get to go to the gulag. Give me a break. The guy that murders 40 million people isn't popular, what kind of propaganda have you been inundated with. If you piled up all the bodies of Russian communism, you would reach the moon.
killed 40 million?
tell me, where on this graph does it crash by 20%? Hint: it doesn't
http://www.ibtimes.com/how-many-people-did-joseph-stalin-kill-1111789
There ya go. 20 - 60 million dead by communism. Horrible.
propaganda, that would show up on population graphs would it not? That's a third of their population
That is internal research man, their own numbers. Even they agree.
#1 that includes the famines that were not man-made so they have no bearing on this #2 the market reforms to turn it capitalist killed more than stalin did #3 This was an attempt to save the revolution from the opportunists who were trying to turn it back to the right (many through force)
The lifespan increased massively under stalin, which prevented many deaths. Capitalism kills 2.5 times as many per capita as your worst propaganda claims communism killed so the point is moot either way lmao
#1 they went against the will of the majority of votes so that's delusional
#2 it was far more democratic than the United states and that 'all-powerful dictatorship" is just propaganda
Joseph Stalin - Here he goes with voter fraud. - "It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes."
he didn't have absolute power, there are literally thousands of examples of this. Stop denying history
Haha, right. He just used the military to forcefully control society and owned the media so you could only hear the party message. The party or polit-bureau has absolute power and elects leaders from within. The people have nothing to do with the politics of the country, it is fully owned/controlled. It's animal farm man, all animals are equal, just some are more equal than others.
elects leaders from within? First hand accounts say that they won because party members were popular.
again I have many first hand accounts and even anti-communist historians agree you are wrong.
the failure was that they allowed themselves to listen to the ramblings of a non-socialist and followed orders like sheep, which leads to capitalism. That is the complete opposite of what socialists want.
you keep making all these threads, I really can't follow you. I would love to have this discussion somewhere else, here it's just impossible for me :)
