Acknowledge what? Saying I need to “acknowledge the genocide of the Russian people by Stalin” in a thread going over the very real ongoing genocide in Palestine is deflection, for 1. Secondly, what specifically are you referring to as a genocide? Political purges? Famine? Historians don’t recognize a genocide committed by Stalin against Russians, they acknowledge excess deaths, so I need to know specifically what you’re talking about or else you’re going to throw a fit again.
Step away from the keyboard. I’m an American Leftist, I’m a Marxist. I have never been to Russia, nor have I been paid by Russians. This is an absurd conspiracy theory.
You can’t answer what you’re talking about, you can’t explain which of the things I’ve said is misinformation nor why that is, all you do is call others “Russian Bots” or “Commies” like a 1960s American McCarthyite.
I absolutely can acknowledge the real existing struggles faced by AES states, and can offer contextualization or explanation of how we can avoid making the same mistakes. What’s more evident than anything is that you don’t actually know what those struggles really were, so you throw it all under the banner of “COMMUNISM BAD,” which I can’t engage with.
If you ask me about a specific event, time period, action, etc. we can have an actual dialogue. Failing all else, I recommend you read Blackshirts and Reds by Dr. Michael Parenti, he takes a critical eye towards the successes and failures of the Soviet Union in a way that analyzes what actually happened there.
Eventually the real world will let you know that Marxists are right, yet again.
