Comment on He's got a point
melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 8 months agoWeird how your ‘communism’ always seems identical to capitalism, and literally every critique applies to both.
Almost like you don’t actually know what communism is and have created an entirely fictional external scapegoat to feel like the horror you labor in and perpetuate is morally good, or something.
This isn’t to defend the USSR, plenty of problems, but, like, you never bothered to learn what any of those actually were. Also, ussr≠all communism, some, including the USSR’s official position for the entirety of its existence, would argue that they weren’t communist at all.
Not that you care to use any crotical tjinking or curiosity to scratch the surface of the ideas you were told and discover myriad (mostly still shitty, but way more interesting and exciting) worlds beneath.

I mean, you can still go to former communist countries and see what older people look like. Like in Hungary older people don’t smile much. They learned that if you smile too much it might be suspicious and you could be investigated by the police. Why are you smiling? Do you have access to black market luxuries?

That’s hilariously wrong, lmao. The majority of people in nearly every post-soviet state wants Communism back, and this number is increased as the population ages.
You don’t have to like Communism or the USSR, but please don’t make things up now, lmao. It’s cringe red-scare fanfiction.

This entire thread is about communism? The parent post is a critique of it? The word is mentioned in every post on the thread?
