Social democracy was a false idol anyways, nothing but socialism can work in the long term, socdem always gets repealed by the rich.
I know there's been a spike in users but like cmon. Lemmy has been running for like 2 years. Hexbear has just migrated over and all of their users are already complaining that the site is terrible.
The west also did a ton of non-aggression pacts and friendship pacts with the Nazis. Also; Poland was fascist at the time too.
The USSR did 90% of the work in beating the Nazis though. As for jailing the far right, it sure doesn't look like it, just look how many of them are running around encouraging stochastic terrorism against the LGBT community.
That's great, but liberalism as an ideology in the real world is pathetically weak on the right.
Yeah okay, fair enough, I kinda only read the start and end of your post. I guess I agree with you then. I still think the USSR gets too much hate in general though. I vociferously defend the USSR around liberals and attack it around M-Ls lol.
The USSR wasn't perfect (and Stalin ruined most things that were good obviously) but they weren't any worse than the USA or the west.
Liberals when talking about human rights: :) Liberals when talking about the enforcement of human rights: :(
And that doesn't apply to liberals and every other ideology on this site? Every person has a political view which affects their opinions
The USSR and China weren't/aren't perfect but if you claim to be a leftist and spend more time criticising them than the West, you're completely suspect IMO.
We already live in a nightmare capitalist autocracy and people still fearmonger about the USSR.
The problem with this comic is that it could apply to anything
