What does totalitarian mean?
What does totalitarian mean?
Now, just out of the blue, for no discernable reason, the Russian government decided it would just go ahead and conquer a large population in a land where it would have to fight an insurgency for approximately forever. Yes, this is definitely what’s happening. A tankie might call this pure MSNBC brain, but there is literally nothing else you need to know in order to understand this conflict. Stay strong, and continue to be the smartest person in the room.

Stalin came with a big spoon and ate up all grain? Antisemitic landlords that only left after they provoked a mass uprising against themselves definitely aren’t part of the story.
I know were all supposed to feel bad for collaborators being treated poorly in the USSR, I’m just more concerned with what my Jewish ancestors dealt with in eastern Europe.
“…human nature…”
Someone on the internet that’s never even heard the phrase “historical materialism” is talking about human nature and you’re laughing?
I am descending into madness.
Liberals don’t know the difference between negative and positive rights.
There’s lots of above ground opposition to Putin in Russia. Stop being a clown. There’s plenty of real things to criticize. We don’t need to make things up.
I engage with some Russian language media, and people actually do express criticisms and critiques of Putin and the war without being arrested or killed.
They probably don’t, but unlike the bourgeois government of Ukraine, the bourgeois government of Russia wasn’t waging a several years long campaign of ethnic violence to redirect working class anger. If Russia is going to prevent a genocide, that’s obviously better.
I have a question for you. Why are liberals so much more interested in protecting the rich than the ethnic minorities they use as scapegoats? You guys do the same thing when you whine about communists in Ukraine fighting antisemitic Ukrainian landlords. How much were my ancestors supposed to endure in order to protect the privilege of the parasites?
How is that different than any functioning state?
