Those evil Soviet imperialists, supporting a popular anti-colonial movement that brought literacy, healthcare, and land reform, against a corrupt dictator and capitalist death squads! Don't they know that fighting colonialism and lifting people out of poverty is imperialism?
Never happened, also it was just a few thousand, also they were kulaks and Ukrainians did it anyway. But also never happened, western propaganda. And what about NATO bombing Belgrade?!?!?!?!
Really? You accept that they happened, they are bad, and we should work towards a better society where that doesn't happen regardless of what coat of paint the government puts over their actions?
It's not the same as all. I don't support any killings. But you, you have just now with your comment, tried to excuse all the violence and terror and suffering and death caused by ussr, by saying: the other side does it too.
Thats seriously messed up. What kind of a person thinks like that. Despicable.
Is Russia communist? Also is Russian annexation not Imperialist? Just seems hypocritical is all. We know imperial capitalism is fucked up and we protest it regularly.
Marxist-Leninists support Soviet and Chinese imperialism for the same reason liberals support Western imperialism: they're both ideologues who want their people and ideals at the top of the global hegemonic order. They're in a war for global ideological (and possibly ethnic) supremacy, with the winner getting to rule the world.
Hate to break it to you bud but capitalism is already the world order. Now I need you to stay late tonight so we can get this shipment of bombs out to countries in Europe and the Middle East.
Of course, I should have said the Western liberals are defending their position atop the global hegemonic order, and the MLs are trying to unseat them.
