I love it, and have only ever had a good time

I always figured that because Barbie world was the opposite of our world, the fact that voting worked in Barbie world means that it doesn't in the real world. Like I thought the whole "lol just vote them out, they're not even paying attention" bit was supposed to show how silly thinking that's how the real world works is - like a child's understanding of politics.

One of two good things from Marshalltown (the other one is this cool person I dated for a bit)

Well, maybe I'm being more sectarian than I should be. But, IMO, Maoists split from MLs for the right reasons, Trots not so. I will say, basically MLs and anarchists have historically made up this site's population, so that's who the rule applies to.

I do want to cop that fit, and to make food all day

Land Bridge? Someone call LaRouche

hey look at this giant pile of false convictions we found in the purges

But who is it who was saying these convictions were false? Khrushchev and a bunch of other revisionists decades after the fact? Why should I believe any of that.

Obviously just killing more people wouldn't have fixed things, that's kinda just a meme. Basically, IMO, although the Soviet Union was far more democratic than liberal "democracies" ever have been, even at the USSR's worst, It wasn't democratic enough. The great purges were, in many ways, a struggle of the lower level party members against the entrenched party bureaucracy, and not something personally directed by Stalin. Unfortunately, the bureaucrats ultimately won, the party became disconnected from the masses, and several decades later, the party elite dissolved the USSR against the will of the people. So what I wish had happened was that the people had won, not that more people were killed per se.

I'm going to do this
