This borders so close to Holocaust Revisionism
The word Pogrom came into English usage because of the Massacre of Jews in the 1880s and 1905; occuring prominently in Warsaw, Odessa and Kiev
We literally have Post-WW1 Independent Ukrainian and Polish Armies killing 100,000 Jews
Firstly, so was the Soviet Union until June 22nd 1941.
And secondly. While it doesn’t excuse them. Why do you think the Baltics, Finland, Poland and Ukraine had a high percentage of collaborators? What possible reason could there be for them to view the Nazis favourably?
Hmm.
@socialaskan
What amazes me is that the UK might not be able to rejoin the EU because of their Unelected Upper House
You cannot call yourself a Democracy when half of your Parliament is made up of Aristocrats, Bishops and Party Loyalists
All of whom serve for life and cannot be removed
This is combined with the fact that Jewish Bolshevism was widely accepted in pre-WW2
And now we have Poland banning any mention of their Complicity in the Holocaust
Whilst Modern Ukraine literally put the guy who did the 1919 Pogroms' Statue in the middle of the Jewish Quarter
Anti-Semitism is the cause
Saying otherwise is literally Holocaust Revisionism
With the Anti-Semitism going hand-in-hand with the Nationalism in these Countries
They need Jews to be exterminated from their borders in order to create their Purified Nations
If I see a communist symbol with the hammer replaced by some other agricultural implement, I become seriously inclined to run for the nearest exit. Very disturbing.
‼️🚨🇮🇱🇷🇺 Famous Soviet movie director, Sergei Eisenstein, desecrating the throne of Russian Orthodox Christian Emperors in the Winter Palace.
Soviet movie directors had something very much in common with their counterparts in Hollywood, California…
@RedThen
I don't believe that either and actually think that belief is detrimental
He is willfully disconnecting the Anti-Semitism that pre-existed
Anti-Semitism that was integral to Nationalism in E. Europe
And the association of Jews with Communism
That justified their Extermination
@nise_yoshimi
That part about the Army especially rings true
So much of the 2015 Xi Jinping anti-Corruption effort was just the Party stopping the PLA from creating a Parallel State
PLA Soldiers went from serving to working in a PLA owned Factory and taking Pension from the PLA Fund
"Hello there, Tovarish, are you aware that every "Revelation" of Stalin's (and Beria's) "crimes" in Khrushchev's "Secret Speech" to the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, 1952 is provably false?"
-🐧
The funniest thing the CCP has done is create the term "Historical Nihilism"
Where the main cause of the Sovet Collapse is blamed squarely on the loss of belief in the system
Rather than any basic Materialist Analysis
The CCP are literally Liberal Fukuyamists
In the East, Marxism is seen as a way for Nation States to develop their economies rather than the Liberation of the International Proletariat
This Nationalist sentiment can be seen in Deng Xiaoping talking about the State of Development not being worthy for a Nation like China
It’s really easy to caricature the anti-electoralist left as online misanthropes whose politics is “firebomb a Walmart” and then not firebombing a Walmart. It would help to dispel that myth if they were more vocal about what specifically their methods have achieved.
Endnote:
I wrote this as Occidentalist as the original Author was Orientalist
Capital eliminates such distinctions of East and West
As Marx and Engels stated repeatedly in their works
To use such Categories is to fall into Idealist History rather than Historical Materialism
@R0dchenko
If you had an argument stronger than "this guy wears skirts", you'd give it. You don't.
Socialist revolution is not coming in the rich world. The revolutionary conditions outlined by Lenin do not exist now and will not exist soon.
If you plan for them, you are planning to fail.
What I love about Nationalists around the World is that they have all completely absorbed American Anti-Wokism
In the name of defending their "own culture"
Total Bourgeois Victory
The Central Criticism should be obvious to any Marxist
Why should the International Proletariat care about their Nation?
Why build up Productive Forces under Capitalism, when it is for the Benefit of the Nation?
The Workers of the World have no Nation
This Nationalism can only lead to Imperialist War
As China the Rising Power vies for Supremacy against the United States
With Deng acknowledging China to be a "Pole" in the future "Multi-Polar World" as US and Soviet Hegemony wanes
Akin to the Multipolar World in 1914
But let us not forget that the Bourgeoisie in the Franco-Prussian War and the First World War
Always united against any genuine Proletarian Revolution occuring
Deng Xiaoping to this end sought US collaboration post-Tiananmen which the US Bourgeoisie also readily accepted
@netrunner54
He talked about those nations that's why I focused on them
The Russian Nationalists in the form of the White Army were also one of the worst at committing Pogroms
They would also collaborate with the Nazis to exterminate Jews in WW2
They persist still today in Russia
Here is Marx criticising The Father of Computing, Charles Babbage
For being too much of a StemLord by only focusing on Production Numbers only
And not the wider Socio-Economic Consequences
Carrying the long tradition of STEM vs the Humanities
Tiananmen 1989 reinforced for me that Liberal Ideals were not achieved through Enlightenment or Great Men
It was with Violence that Liberalism was able to take root in the US and Europe
The Students and Workers sought Compassion from a State where none should've been expected
@CommunistPolls
From a purely Geopolitics View it is Krushchev
- Secured Eastern Bloc
- Secured Arab World (Suez Crisis)
- Secured Cuba
- Aided Decolonial African Movements
Mao and Deng both embraced the US over the Sino-Soviet Split
Brezhnev literally drained the Soviet Union in Afghanistan
Ty for being the best oomfies around and a good May! I post random stuff and you guys seem to enjoy it. Interacting with you guys always makes this site fun to use ty!
As the reform was passing, left wing opposition MPs waved 🇮🇹 flags in Parliament and sang the national anthem
Meanwhile right wing Lega MPs celebrated it by waving regional flags
The Right are traitors, infamous secessionists
It’s the Left that truly loves Italy is patriotic🇮🇹
Why did nobody tell me
@Greynxgga69
's Vaush Peasant Clip had an even worse follow up
Where the entire time he is talking down the necessity of Reading Theory
Like he could actually criticise China or the USSR better if he actually understood the Class Differences
Found out about William Cobbett

>Conservative Nationalist
>Wanted Welfare for the Urban Poor

This is why your party made zero Momentum under Austerity
The British Proletariat have the Worst Fall in Living Standards since the Birth of Marx
And you guys are yapping about Chinese Capitalism
The Communist Party of China is the world’s largest Marxist-Leninist party. Over its more than 100-year history, the CPC has applied Marxist theory to Chinese conditions in dynamic ways, leading to the development of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics 🇨🇳🤝
(1/6)
Chinese Development is only possible because of Uneven Development
It exploits the massive inequality between Rural Inner China and the Urban Coastal Cities
Thus having a steady supply of Proletarianised Rural Migrants who are exploited by the Factory Bosses
Is Socialism with Chinese Characteristics really socialism? My answer is yes. One fundamental rule of capitalist production is uneven development, which China has avoided when compared to other developing economies like India.
@nise_yoshimi
If the KMT won it would've led to a bigger death toll than the CCP (1946 Hunan Famine being a case study)
They would've had to contend with Warlords that still held considerable power
Land reforms would've failed as they were reliant upon taxes collected by Feudal Landlords

@nemo_literam
Communist Party that participates in Liberal Elections
And helps enact Austerity Measures to make sure the Conditions will worsen
Welfare and Workers' Rights are just distractions from the Final Struggle
@AndromedaPip
Quoting Engels to support Monogamous Marriage is crazy to me
Of all the people to pick, you don't Marx the Wife Guy
But Engels the I live with two Irish sisters guy
Deng Xiaoping didn't assign Morality to Capital
He saw it as necessary to Chinese Economic Development
Even then his attitude to Capitalists was that as long as they're not Exploiting People
They shouldn't be called Capitalists
Which shows his Utopian Reasoning
To go beyond my edgy click-bait tweet, China is not capitalist, they are a socialist society, and the most advanced civilization on earth, which still bears the birthmarks of the old capitalist world.
Under Mao China’s economy was planned from the top down & all exchange was
@RedThen
Just reading up on the Worst Massacres pre-Holocaust
Which were commited in Ukraine 1919
Stopped when the UPR was overthrown by the Bolsheviks
Feeding into the Myth the Jews brought Communism to destroy Ukraine
The Myth which Bandera used to justify Killing Jews in WW2
@Einheitsfr0nt
Most people see the Civil War as wasted
So much hope in the aftermath has been squandered whilst those who fought were abandoned
Prachanda and all the rest of the Maoist leadership are just seen as the same Corrupt Politicians
There is a nice Doc here:
@OrdaDen26
He talked about collaborator Nations
The Pogroms commited by the Red Army were miniscule compared to the Whites, Ukrainians and Poles
They were not part of Bolshevik Policy to cleanse the State of Jews and Minorities
But still indicative of widespread anti-Semitism
This is actually one of the things that would come to differ between Soviet and Chinese Collectivisation
There was a Mass of Rural Party Cadres to smoothen the process of Collectivisation in China
Whereas in the Soviet Union it relied heavily upon Central Quotas
He is why I still believe in the Dictatorship of the Proletariat
Allende was a pioneer when it came to CyberSyn which outlives him in terms of the future of Socialism
But he was wrong to play by the rules set down by the Bourgeoisie with the Proletariat paying the final Price
