    Not sure where you live, nor do I need to. It’s a known fact that countries like the US, France, Germany, Britain, and so forth essentially act as parasites on the world and ruin those who go against them. The Soviets have historically been far better for the world than any of the Western powers.

      The soviets were on par with the nazis, depending on your ethnicity even worse (as they raped and killed indiscriminately, not targeting specific groups). They invaded countries, massacred all politicians, journalists, professors, artists, etc and installed their puppets. A bigger, redder parasite.

      But yeah, the IMF loans are brutal, man.

        Equating the Soviets to the Nazis originates with Double Genocide Theory, which is a form of Holocaust Trivialization and Nazi Apologia. They did not SA and kill indiscriminately, nor did they create mass industrialized murder. Rather, they were liberators and stopped the Holocaust.

        Read Blackshirts and Reds, you are so incredibly far off of historical accuracy that you’re running defense for the Nazis.

          Talk about propaganda. They absolutely did rape and kill indiscriminately, just like Russians do now in Ukraine. Ribbentrop-Molotov rings a bell? Katyn? It was more manual than industrial, but just because they didn’t have time to scale 8t up before the nazis invaded them.

          If you think “nazis killed discriminately” is a defense of nazis, you should re-evaluate your values.
