Commies are cool, as it turns out.

Kinda depends on what kind of commie. Authoritarians like CCP, Bolsheviks and the Kim family? Never. But the Kronstadt sailors who died fighting the hypocrisies of the Bolsheviks, and the Japanese Communist Party who chose the peaceful route to try to gain power? They are cool.

It's not about peaceful routes, it's about sustainability and avoiding evil.

Not all Bolsheviks were awful, too. It's just that the general agreement about "we are doing a marxist revolution and transforming a country worse than intended for that, and so we can only afford unity and centralism, and some hard solutions are necessary" meant that the hard solutions led from executions of some people to executions of many, and unity led to gradually destroying opposition (the communist kind), and centralism led ultimately to Stalin.

I don't really want to get into this argument, but just out of curiosity what do you think about Cuba?

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Cuba is still authoritarian. Their biotech research is pretty amazing though, in spite of sanctions and Castro's obsession with producing a supercow.

Don't you dare slander Ubre Blanca

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

Out of interest, what do you think of cuba?

Funny how the only "good communists" to liberals are the ones that fail and die.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

And yet the entire USSR failed and died massively anyway?

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -3 points 2 days ago

Accomplished infinitely more than the dead failures you endorse. Almost like liberals think the only good communist is a dead communist 🤔

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

But USSR is dead. How is that accomplishment?

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 days ago

Oh, but he Kronstadt sailors aren't?

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

They died with principle and honour. And how did USSR die and remembered for if you think they are so great and infallible?
