It’s still better than feudal system.

According to whom? I wonder what we would see if we were to compare the average amount of labour time feudal peasants had to put in to survive vs. that of the current global proletariat.

I'd agree that capitalism has been better for some - like, for instance, white ex-peasants who now gets to be members of the (so-called) "middle class" or gets to cosplay as pseudo-nobility in colonised spaces- but it has been an unmitigated disaster for lots of others.

Poland, Czechia, Hungary,

Which part of Soviet is so hard to understand? The peoples of those countries were never Soviet citizens.

Again... the majority of Jewish people murdered during WW2 by the Nazis were Soviet citizens who were murdered on Soviet territory captured by the Wehrmacht.

The idea that the Holocaust only happened in death camps like Auschwitz is a myth created by western media - which, for reasons that should be obvious to any leftist, never had much of a problem with the Nazis slaughtering millions of people in Ukraine or on the Russian steppes.

The largest part of the Holocaust looked like Babi Yar - not Auschwitz.

It's a silly term we use for Marxist-Leninists and their fellow travellers because we never bothered to really come up with a less silly term for that part of the left that holds that brutally repressing the working class into automaton-like obedience will (somehow) result in communism descending from the heavens like the Second Coming... it's an oversight on our part, I'm afraid.

Unfortunately, liberals have finally learnt of the term... so now they call everybody that isn't a liberal or a fascist "tankie," too.

Ironically enough, the term tankie was first coined by Marxist-Leninists themselves.

The majority of Jewish people slaughtered during WW2 by the Nazis (and their myriad European helper-elves) were Soviet citizens murdered on captured Soviet territory.

I've never been banned for (supposedly) being a fascist... but I've been banned plenty of times by shitlibs for (supposedly) being a tankie.

Here's little old me being a tankie, btw.

Dream on, tankie - the failure of your excuse for an ideology is total.

Is this the person that insta-banned everybody that criticised "vOtE blUe nO maTtEr wOo" on every instance they modded during the US election cycle?

Then you sould have no problem providing us with these "accurate" numbers of yours, shouldn't you?

[-] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago

about accurately counting the killed?

What are you counting so "accurately," Clyde? Do you have an "accurate" tally of all the Israelis the IDF slaughtered on Oct 7 because murdering Palestinians is far more important to them than keeping their own people alive?

Just so I understand,

Don't feign ignorance... seems to me that you know exactly what you are doing here.

Kidnapping civilians is unequivocally bad

Really? We literally are forced to exist with taxpayer-funded institutions whose entire purpose is to kidnap civilians as part of their function to repress dissent - they are called police.

Fyi, I am absolutely conflating the institution of policing with that of Israel - it's perfectly justified as they are both colonialist and white supremacist creations.

Besides all that, Israel - like all colonialist entities - have, since it's invention, made little secret of the fact that they de facto make zero distinction between "civilians" and "combatants." Therefore, I see no need to hold the Palestinian resistance to the high standards that white liberalism have refused to apply to Israel for decades now - especially when the crimes (if they can even be called that) the Palestinian resistance have committed is downright microscopic in comparison to those perpetrated by Israel and it's benefactors for more than half a century now.

Conflating the Palestinian resistance with ICE is pretty damn creepy in my book.
