I've been banned a few times specifically in fuck cars and then comrades I think? Absolutely some of the most fragile groups I know beside trumpets when it comes to accepting reality and facts.

the holodomor for example

>the numbers are wrong

>actually the kulaks are responsible

>the ussr is being depicted as bad by western propaganda but it wasn't that bad

The fact that they are authoritarian and are apologists for state murder.

Are they? Or have you just met some insane people? I've been watching a series on the fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism, and see none of that in the theory.

Honestly, here's a look: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0J754r0IteXABJntjBg1YuNsn6jItWXQ

I once had similar feelings about ML, as a guy with more anarchist leanings. But this series shows the in depth theory behind the movement.

in the theory

of course no one includes genocide in their theory but if you try to apply communist theory to reality you'll end up with it. so instead of looking at theories start looking at reality

How? What do you know of the theory?

If something is not part of communist theory, what sense does it make to call it a part of communism?

And yes, genocidal ideologies do in fact have genocide in their theory. Just read anything written by Hitler or Mussolini.

every time it was tried communism failed eventually. it always caused oppression and in extreme cases even genocide. it doesn't really matter what the theory looks like if that's the reality

Let's do a little experiment:

  • Tankies are horrible
  • Nazi's are horrible
  • The US is horrible
  • Russia is horrible
  • China is horrible

What the fuck is wrong with you? Why would you put an apostrophe there?!

(ahem, grammar and spelling Nazis are also horrible)
