A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

My mom was just telling me a while ago about how one of her uncles was tortured by the communists after they came to power. Small note: he was a member of the legionnaires, so I can relate to this meme.

Sounds like a racist who was a part of a terrorist group.

Both can be pieces of shit.

First they came for the grandfathers and I did not speak out, for my grandfather was a Nazi.

Didn't know the Cambodians, Polish, Kalmyks, Kazakhs, Tatars, Ukrainians, Anarchists, Left SRs, Trotskyists and Peasants were all Nazis. Must be fun to live in that world.

The Finns who died defending their homeland from naked, opportunistic Soviet imperialism also wish to say hi.

Two things are true at once:

  • They did crimes
  • They fought even bigger criminals

And two things are true at once:

  • Descendants of their innocent victims consider them monsters, and they are correct and valid.
  • Descendants of the even bigger criminals that got "neutralized" hide among the other category, and they are dishonest.

Such a profoundly dense thing to post, it could have only been made up by an American. How can anyone have such compartmentilized view of history is truly beyond me, unless of course they are incredibly ignorant or some kind of Putin's lapdog, like Medvyedev, actively engaged in the denial of atrocites.

The grandfather:

Georgi Markov, Bulgarian screenwriter, poisoned by the secret police.

Jan Zahradníček, Czech poet and writer bound to a wheelchair. Absolutely of no threat to the regime. Tortured and killed.

The 22 000 Polish grandfathers and potentional grandfathers killed simply for the crime of not being born Russian:

Katyn massacre

Fuck fascists, fucking kill them. That includes the officials of whatever totalitarian communist regime you think is "a vibe"

never mind. latter is the case. This poster is a Putin fanboy and Uyghur genocide denier. All his posts read like the typical former /pol/ kid turned tankie.

no doubt i will also get banned for saying this, since they're also moderator here.

go ahead товарищ комиϟϟар, play out your little fash fantasy.
