You trying to justify that a society can exist without any degree of bureaucracy, and somehow the existence of administrative personnel earning normal wages totally means that there’s an oppressive class and an exploited one.

lol

Figured you wouldn't even try to respond to the arguments seriously. That might involve critical thought, which is dangerous to the party line, right?

Saying that there was anything remotely resembling genocide in the USSR is ahistorical anti-communist bullshit.

"When you murder tens-to-hundreds of thousands of a given ethnicity, and deport an even larger number (a practice known as ethnic cleansing and generally considered a key piece of genocide) when attempting to reshape ethnic borders to your liking, it's nothing even remotely resembling genocide."

Least genocidal tankie.

Thank you for not responding to all parts of my comment when I bring actual fucking data that you can't contest because you haven't read a book.

"When you murder tens-to-hundreds of thousands of a given ethnicity, and deport an even larger number (a practice known as ethnic cleansing and generally considered a key piece of genocide) when attempting to reshape ethnic borders to your liking, it's nothing even remotely resembling genocide."

When you don't discriminate or target by ethnicity because of paranoia during the unjustifiable Big Terror, when there's no previous incidents against a given ethnicity and no later attempts to hurt a given ethnicity, then no, you can't call it genocide, I'm sorry. You can condemn the big terror for what it was, but you can't call it genocidal because there was no continuous attempt against any given nationality.

Jesus Christ. And you accuse me of not reading. Come back after you've read a bit about Stalinist era massacres instead of tankie hagiography glossing over the details of the NKVD hunting down people with Polish surnames to execute.
