@mynameistillian people here rightly identify that the US tells propaganda when it talks about the history of the USSR. what they fail to identify is that the propaganda isn't insisting all of the terrible things happened, it's insisting that those terrible things are representative of all opposition to capitalism. but people don't understand this so they just assume the propaganda is just a simple inversion of the truth.

@mynameistillian Authoritarianism sucks, regardless of whether it comes with capitalism or communism. I wish more leftists understood that.

@mynameistillian i don’t know all too much about ussr history, but at least in my head i register it as “just as bad as the us”

@LunaDragofelis @mynameistillian I feel like the insistence that it’s “authoritarian communism” is kinda part of the problem. Really, it’s more of a dictatorship with a coat of red paint.

@h33h33wuffi3 @mynameistillian To be fair, they do also make up terrible things in addition to the ones that really happened.
