You think he'd be upset to learn about how peasants were killed in that flags history?

more peasants died before the ussr was founded. the ussr had flaws but was better for the average person than under the tzar

Hahahahahahaha good one.
You’re right, everyone loved Stalin. The gulags were such a nice spot for the people to relax and enjoy controlling the means of production.

gulags we’re prisons. why should they be a nice place for criminals?
UngruntledAussie t1_jdgevdq wrote
Criminals as subjectively determined by the leadership of a nation led by a system, which exterminated resistance and abolished freedom. That you’re defending that system, which leveraged hunger as an extermination tool is abhorrent.

the thing is, ussr had a really strange definition of what was a "criminal" and many of them were arguably innocent people

I am not even a communist and I find your comment to be stupid as fuck. Capitalism is causing the death of many people today.

I'm just saying it's not all sunshine and rainbows. It was run by humans afterall.

What a useless observation.

Let me clarify my message for you then. I disagree with idolizing a system of government that killed millions of it's own people. It's the USSR's link to socialism that makes it so easy for north american politicians to prevent socialism from coming back. Stop linking them together. You can be a socialist and not be a communist.

It’s easy to blame capitalism. But the truth is it’s just people. It doesn’t matter what economic system we put in place. Bad people will always try to rig the system, put themselves on top, and leave the rest to starve and die.

Yes exactly my point. It's easy to blame communism for the death of people, but under each economic system there have been many deaths.

No it isn’t. You blamed capitalism . The guy you replied was blaming communism. You’re both the same just blaming different systems instead of focusing in the real issue

I am a capitalist, I was just pointing out that under capitalism today, people are dying.

Capitalism did it. That is what you said. Why are you pretending you didn’t say that?
