It was literally the fastest growing economic system of all time. It went from wooden hand-drawn plows to spaceflight in a single generation, while defeating the most devastating invasion in human history. The nation once called “the India of Europe” became the first interplanetary civilization.
Then, after the entire collective might of the capitalist world had slaughtered dozens of millions of the bravest and most committed communists, it started falling apart because liberals took over. It was dissolved illegally, against the wishes of 70% of the population that voted in a referendum to keep the Union, in a bloody coup that killed over 2000 people fighting against its destruction. By the end of the 90s there had been 7-10 million excess deaths above the death rate of the 80s in Russia alone, making it one of the worst non-war human-caused humanitarian disasters of all time.
In short, the people of the USSR were revolutionaries and heroes, whereas you are a grotty little chauvinist from the imperial core who doesn’t want to improve the world, because if you did you would want to win, and if you wanted to win you would read history, and if you read history you would come to the same conclusion.
It was literally the fastest growing economic system of all time.
Yeah… I think Marxism-Leninism is the only ideology that dictates that you do colonialism against yourself.
first interplanetary civilization.
Lol! Been overdoing the sci-fi a bit, tankie?
the bravest and most committed communists
Just to clarify… you are not talking about the ones murdered on Stalin’s orders, right?
against the wishes of 70% of the population
Stop fooling yourself, tankie - the fact that a large majority of the Soviet population saw no need to dismember the Union doesn’t mean they also wanted your faux-socialism.
In short, the people of the USSR were revolutionaries and heroes
Oh, really? So where did those liberals come from, then?
Yeah… I think Marxism-Leninism is the only ideology that dictates that you do colonialism against yourself.
You have never read any anti-colonial theory in your life and it shows. Fucking cracker “anarchists” I swear to god.

Yes the USSR was the first country to land a probe on a moon that wasn’t ours.

Stop fooling yourself, tankie - the fact that a large majority of the Soviet population saw no need to dismember the Union doesn’t mean they also wanted your faux-socialism.
that still means that 70% were in favor of maintaining the USSR.
Oh, really? So where did those liberals come from, then?
Counterrevolutionaries will be something we have to contend with until we abolish capitalism globally.
Oh, look at the tankie puffing themselves up in an attempt to be intimidating.
Lol… puff to your heart’s content.
You have never read any anti-colonial
Oh look… a tankie that wants to play political tourist here in the extraction zone.
Yawn.
Yes the USSR was the first country
So that qualifies as an “interplanetary civilisation,” correct?

Tell me tankie… what was the fate of Konstantin Chelpan - you know, the lead designer of the team of engineers that created the V2 diesel engine? I assume a tankie like you would know what a T-34 is, right?
that still means that 70% were in favor of maintaining the USSR.
I hate having to repeat myself, but you tankies are quite hard of hearing, soooo… the fact that a large majority of the Soviet population saw no need to dismember the Union doesn’t mean they also wanted your faux-socialism.

I am fully convinced that a small number of users on this instance are here with the intention of making anarchists look bad, the intention to really drive in the nail (one crafted by the enemies of all of the left) that anarchism is the ideology of spoiled, tantrum-throwing children. Because that’s how @masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com and a few others like them are behaving. Actual anarchism is not this, of course, but that’s why I am so convinced that either these puerile users don’t know what real anarchism is, or they do but are only pretending to be anarchists online to “troll” real leftists, be their targets Marxist-Leninist or real anarchists or any other genuine leftist tendency.
Anyone reading these exchanges (even lurking liberals) who have any experience interacting with their fellow humans, can immediately spot who in these threads are speaking in good faith, are interested in learning and understanding the world, interested in presenting valid evidence and reasoning for their beliefs (people like @CascadeOfLight@hexbear.net in this particular subthread), versus which other participants in this thread are acting completely, openly, and smugly in bad faith with no interest in either the truth or in learning, let alone any interest in having a real discussion, because they make it clear the only interest they have is “owning” opponents, or since they can’t manage that, just being inflammatory and saying things we all know are absurd but are designed to cause upset even when it lays bare their own pathetic ignorance. Trolling, in other words. It is so blatantly obvious who is just here spewing whatever they can with the intent to make people angry. It doesn’t have to be reflective of reality, they don’t have to even make sense, they just say things in a transparent attempt to shit-fling.
I say let them keep at it, they will wear themselves out eventually, as conniption-having toddlers always do. But also because it is so obvious what they’re doing, anyone watching from the sidelines, especially anyone “without a horse in this race” can see that the “tankies” and actual anarchists (like @Nakoichi@hexbear.net), at least in this thread, are the ones who know what they’re talking about and have genuine convictions and a dedication to justice. I want to reiterate that (real) anarchists have these positive qualities too, but a select few of the cringe users in this thread like masquenox who claim to be anarchists should not be taken as being even remotely representative of what people who belong to that tendency are like or what they believe. The anarchists I know irl and consider friends and comrades wouldn’t be caught dead associating with these tantrum-throwing, “tankie-hating” children.
It’s colonialism when you teach peasants how to read and give them telegraph poles and combine harvesters. You are a fucking stupid historically illiterate imperial core roleplayer piece of shit, the USSR was the first anticolonial nation in history, they fought on the morally correct side of nearly every anticolonial struggle in the world in the 20th century. As just even a single example, in 1961, the USSR used its veto powers in the UN to stop a forced ceasefire, allowing the Indians to invade and liberate the Portugese-held island of Goa, literally kicking out colonialists.
But it’s interesting that you seem to agree with the representative of Portugal that the USSR has ‘shamed the whole of mankind’.
The USSR created the first artifical satellite, put the first man in space, put the first woman in space, conducted the first spacewalk, landed the first spacecraft on the moon, landed the first spacecraft on another planet (Venus), built the first space station and landed the first spacecraft on Mars. The first black man in space was an Afro-Cuban man who went on in a Soviet rocket. Eight of the first ten nationalities in space were from the ‘eastern block’. ‘Astronaut Barbie’ was released by Mattel two years after the first Soviet woman went to space, and twenty years BEFORE the first US woman would.
Anyway I’m tired of reading your overwrought self-righteous self-important reddit liberal style of argumentation, all form and no substance, so just feel free to go read a book (assuming that’s something you’re actually capable of) and argue with that instead.
Are we talking about the peasants who democratically rejected your bolshevik clergy over and over again through the soviets back in 1919? Those peasants?
You are a fucking stupid historically illiterate imperial core roleplayer
Oh, look… a reactionary cosplaying as a leftst is calling others “imperialist.”
Yawn, tankie.
USSR was the first anticolonial nation
LOOOL! Tell it to the Finns, the Ukrainians and the Poles, tankie. I can almost hear their laughter all the way from over here.
the USSR used its veto powers
And the US used it’s military power to end Imperial Japan - I guess that makes the US “anit-colonial” now, too?
The USSR created the first artifical satellite, put the first man in space, put the first woman in space,
And? Are you perhaps suffering from some kind of insecurity, tankie?
The millions and millions of peasants and workers who formed the absolutely committed base of the communist party yes. Here’s a question for you: HOW did the Bolsheviks gain power? When the Tsarist regime was crushing and oppressing the workers, and after the February revolution when the bourgeoise transitional state was gearing up for another round of WW1, HOW did the Bolsheviks come out on top? Was there a magic crown they grabbed to take control of the revolution? Did they use communist mind control? So “the peasants … democratically rejected [the] bolshevik clergy [sic] over and over again through the soviets back in 1919” [1] but the bolsheviks just overruled them… how?
This is the problem with a liberal-idealist understanding of the world which is not based in material reality, you don’t think about things like that. The bolsheviks won BECAUSE they had the full, furious support of dozens of millions of workers and peasants, without which they could not possibly have defeated the White army or constructed a socialist state. The Soviet people worked tirelessly to build a society of technological wonders as well as the military power needed to defend it against a world of capitalist enemies. Enemies like the Polish fascists who invaded the USSR in 1921, annexing a massive region that was (and is today) part of Belarus and Ukraine. Do you think retaking these areas (and saving their populations from the advancing Nazis) was wrong of the USSR? Do you think these territories should be part of Poland today? Should Belarus and western Ukraine be re-annexed to the Polish state, which held them for less than twenty years?
Ukrainians
Six million Ukrainians fought in the Red Army in WW2, making up 23% of the Soviet Union’s entire armed forces. The insignificant handful of traitorous fascist worms who sabotaged their own nation, collaborated with the Nazis and gleefully massacred Jews (and Poles!!) do not represent the Ukrainian people. This is what the ‘Ukrainian Nationalists’ have to say about their time ‘resisiting the communists’:
And here a photo of a Jewish woman being chased by men and youth armed with clubs during the Lviv pogroms, 1941, Ukraine (CW: violence)
Which is the kind of thing the Red Army put a stop to.
Finns
Here I agree with Rosa Luxemburg: Granting Finland independence and not supporting the morally correct side in its civil war was objectively a mistake. The Red Army should have marched on Helsinki in 1918 but Lenin and the bolsheviks were too committed to the policy of the right of nations to self-determination, so they let it be taken over by nationalists who would go on to aid the Nazis in the siege of Leningrad that killed 1.5 million people. Don’t look up the insignia used by the Finnish air force until 2020.
And the US used it’s military power to end Imperial Japan - I guess that makes the US “anit-colonial” now, too?
Literally yes, that was an anti-colonial act, except that they immediately replaced Japanese imperialism in the eastern Pacific with US imperialism. Also what really drove the Japanese to surrender was the Soviet invasion of Manchuria. The Japanese had hoped the USSR would act as a neutral arbiter for a conditional truce between them and the US, but when it was clear the USSR was going to roll up the fascists wherever they found them, the Japanese unconditionally surrendered to the US specifically to avoid the possibility of a communist takeover. The US then immediately put Japanese military leaders (i.e. war criminals) to work against the communists in the Phillipines, Korea, Vietnam and everywhere else in South-East Asia. Actions you presumably support, as those war criminals were deployed first and foremost against the worst of all liberal boogeymen, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Did you know the US invasion killed around 20% of the population of the Korean peninsula?
And? Are you perhaps suffering from some kind of insecurity, tankie?
and if you really have the stomach for it, Blood Lies by Grover Furr - I warn you though, it’s nearly 600 pages with heavy sourcing and referencing so your attention span might be challenged
Was there a magic crown they grabbed to take control of the revolution?
Yes, you creepshow excuse for a leftist, there was - it’s called a soviet. You know… the democratic coucnils through which the vast majority of Russians democratically rejected your Bolshie heroes?
but the bolsheviks just overruled them… how?
The Bolshevik counter-revolution is now mere historical record, tankie. None of your shitty walls-of-text can change that.
This is the problem with a liberal-idealist
Oh, look… a reactionary cosplaying as a leftist is calling me a liberal again.
The bolsheviks won BECAUSE they had the full
Lemme guess… Lenin told you that in one of your fantasies while you were jerking off, right?
constructed a socialist state.
What socialist state, tankie?
who would go on to aid the Nazis
You mean when they went to war and reconquered the territory the Bolsheviks invaded in 1940?
Don’t look up the insignia used by the Finnish air force until 2020
Until 2020? Lol!
I guess that also means you don’t actually know the history of that symbol, do you?
Literally yes, that was an anti-colonial act,
Holy crap, tankie… you are full of it.
No, tankie… waging wars against imperialist rivals doesn’t make you “anti-imperialist.”
Also what really drove the Japanese to surrender was the Soviet invasion of Manchuria.
Again with the tankie insecurity. What’s the matter, tankie? Still trying to “catch up” with western imperialism, are we?
Let me know when an anarchist gets to space.
Yeah… that excuses all the slave labour, eh tankie?
Lmao, someone shares historical facts and explains the material conditions of the world during the rise of the Soviet Union and you just lash out with no factual information, and decide to just complain about “walls of text” when they’re explaining things to you.
You are not looking for a discussion. You are not trying to improve and sharpen your understanding of the world or your rhetorical skills. You’re just throwing a tantrum when people try to explain ideas to you that don’t conform to your worldview.
And that’s exactly what makes you a reactionary. That’s the main difference between our two instances: We actually care about discussing things and educating people while you act like children refusing to eat the veggies on your plate. I’d say the moniker “anarkiddie” is accurate, but I don’t acknowledge people like you as anarchists.
You’re calling us your enemies because you refuse to actually read what we’re saying. We have the same goal and the same people want to put us in prison or to simply shoot us. The only real ways in which our views put us on opposite ends of any political discourse are historical debates like the one you’re running away from right now. If you can’t even engage in the debate (which is valid, I honestly CBA to parse through all the primary sources to figure out which side of the debate is more correct about the nature of the soviet system or whatever either), then why are you taking such a strong position in the debate’s conclusion? Why does the conclusion matter so much to you that you’re willing to draw a line in the sand and declare us your enemies, but the process of getting there doesn’t matter enough to read “walls of text” (God forbid you ever encounter a book)?
It was literally the fastest growing economic system of all time. It went from wooden hand-drawn plows to spaceflight in a single generation, while defeating the most devastating invasion in human history. The nation once called “the India of Europe” became the first interplanetary civilization.
