      Considering he means to kill someone, it’s sufficient trigger discipline I believe.

              What are you even talking about?

              I’m just referring to the inevitable denial and downplaying of the brutality of dictators by tankies claiming it’s all anti-Communist propaganda.

              Damn, didn’t even take a full minute after I posted this for you to start licking boots. Yikes.

                No, I was referring to 20 year-old people as well. The difference is, they were talking about 20 year-olds who falsely claim experience in the old Soviet bloc, and I initially interpreted it as 20 year-olds who glamorize life in the old Soviet bloc against all evidence.

    heres a movie about it with real footage, more of a documentary https://youtu.be/sEZikLuqt68 narrated in english

    a lot of romanians nowadays think it was a state-sponsored attack by the americans, i don’t know what to say but i sure know life is at least a bit better for most people, and for independent people like myself the much increased freedom is invaluable. fuck commies, any flavor of communism is cancer and should be eradicated

      Tell us more about those halcyon days of Romanian supremacy, Pawpaw!

      She had nothing kind to say about him.

              Wasn’t dictator, and didn’t come into any significant influence until the last week and a half of 1989.

        Like actual communism ever existed. What we got were authoritarian dictators that basically ran a kleptocracy and slapped a “communist” or “socialist” label on it. Facets that looked like the labels were lip service or token at best.

            The US supported its economic interests first, its ideals a distant second. If you couldn’t support the former you wouldn’t have a hope, and you didn’t understand the US.

          you’re NEVER going to get “actual communism” because it’s an impossible utopian ideology. here’s my ideology: everyone becomes a millionaire and drives lambos and fucks 10/10s every day, no poor people, no orphans, no more suffering

          communism comes from a lack of knowledge of basic economic principles that are always valid no matter the ideology

            Human history is littered with self interested strongmen who are willing to sacrifice those who disagree with them in their climb to power. More so, there are those who aid and abet them - and we get to experience that in the US now - with reasons varying from prejudice to tribalism to misplaced revenge.

        Not a communist, but like you’ve ever known lol.

        It’s a pretty big hint you don’t live in commie-topia when the glorious leader is feeding orphans blood transfusions from his mega-palace while Nixon assures everyone he’s one of the good ones.

            This might be a bold statement, but I’d even go so far as to say I think he might be a crook!

      The C is for counterrevolutionaries, I understand. Of course as a group, it also encompasses cops.

      Why not both?

      The USSR and it’s satellite states where heavily policed.

          I’d still trust a Soviet cop before I trusted an American one.

          That reveals a frightening lack of understanding of Soviet cops.

          And that’s far from saying American cops are trustworthy.

            Are you really suggesting they are trustworthy?!

              … no, that’s literally the opposite of what was said.

                That’s good, I was worried there for a second.

                  Considering you’re from Lemmygrad, I doubt your sincerity in requesting this.
