  • It's a meme (in Russian 'leftist' social media) quote from a speech by Putin in Feb 22 right before he invaded. About how Ukraine is a fake country created by the foolish utopian Bolsheviks who used declarations of self determination as empty slogans to gain initial support. And then Stalin built a normal centralized state but didn't bother changing the utopian "confederative" wording.

    So now Putin is forced to fix Stalin's mistake, put Ukraine through decommunisation and go back (presumably to how it was in the Russian empire) before all this communist nonsense.

    Here's the full speech if you're interested https://web.archive.org/web/20220224052445/http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/67828

  • Judging from how some people talk about ai idk if most people even leftists would like to live in the culture. But yeah, the books turned me into a transgender communist so I'd recommend them based on that

  • Stalin and giving a shit about the plight of oppressed ethnic minorities, name a more iconic duo

    seriously tho he was more than willing to throw them under the bus when it served a purpose, I don't buy that he was simply overcome by pity or smth. We had working relationships with the various regional nationalists and (half assedly) supported them all the way up to 1947

  • Nah the about face was a complete shot in the foot, massively hurt the Soviets' relations with other communist parties in the region- iirc the party line had been support for arab resistance even since the Balfour declaration. Lenin and Trotsky were both strongly anti Zionist and condemned it for the ethno nationalism that it is.

    But Stalin reversed course on it and I honestly don't understand why. The dude was supposedly smart/good at geopolitics how did he not see that it was an imperial project from the start.

  • From what I see the criticism is that China isn't doing enough to assist the workers of the world in overthrowing their own governments and replacing them with socialist ones. I'm afraid that they've devolved into 'peaceful coexistence' same as the Soviet Union, which will build internal contradictions and ultimately cause them them to backslide into capitalism just like it did the Soviets.

    So yeah government/vanguard cannot either while they're surrounded by enemies, but they're not doing enough to eliminate those enemies either
