Yes, let’s all go back to the McCarthyist days where everyone was secretly a ebil commie, why don’t you go the frontlines and see how ‘enthusiastic’ the Ukrainian conscripts are about the war, if you hate Russia so much

Better than a coup, I guess

Remember when Aleksa from Boy Boy snuck into one of these
It’s funny how all ethnic groups claim that they are the most successful in the US
Nothing more ‘socialist’ than supporting the current world order but with some welfare
Hopefully the Yeltsin Center is next
Seems like you need it looking at your comment history
But the Wagner mercenaries in Ukraine say that they don’t support Prigozhin’s coup attempt
Only oligarchs get that treatment, a far cry from the US. And the Communist Party is the 2nd biggest party in Russia, and the most critical of United Russia & Putin.
You consider Wagner ‘civilians’?
The east of his country isn’t and he has no control over the army. Putin’s support increased during the war.
We’ll see what comes first, Zelenskyy getting deposed or the Olympic games
Wait till you find out the ideologies of the Lemmy devs
Ukraine violated both Minsk agreements
Lenin, however, didn’t create Marxism-Leninism, and never said anything that deviated from Marx.
He didn’t create it, he created the principles for it, expanding on Marx.
Additionally, the move towards this “mixed-economy” you refer to, and the move closer and closer to capitalism signified a retreat, not a step towards socialism. Lenin says this in multiple speeches and reports.
The New Economic Policy was adopted because, in the spring of 1921, after our experience of direct socialist construction carried on under unprecedentedly difficult conditions, under the conditions of civil war, in which the bourgeoisie compelled us to resort to extremely hard forms of struggle, it became perfectly clear that we could not proceed with our direct socialist construction and that in a number of economic spheres we must retreat to state capitalism. We could not continue with the tactics of direct assault, but had to undertake the very difficult, arduous and unpleasant task of a long siege accompanied by a number of retreats. This is necessary to pave the way for the solution of the economic problem, i. e., that of the economic transition to socialist principles - V.I Lenin
Many of the people targeted were Lenin’s old friends and associates. Many were heroes of the civil war. These were people who were heavily involved in the revolution- people who risked everything to bring about revolution in Russia
It was Yezhov who executed them, he was later executed himself for his crimes. Many of them were committed to Stalin and his ideas for socialist development, for example Lazar Kaganovich, and only a few of them were putchists (Like Trotsky) or traitors. I’d like to see your source for the supposed ‘hundreds of thousands’ killed by these purges.
It is an insult to the socialist system to say that an “opportunistic and traitorous” Stalin would be able to become a “dictator” within it.
The USA is a shithole, yet it recognizes Israel. Curious
‘Marxism Leninism’ was created by Lenin a deviation of Marxism suited to the conditions for the newly founded USSR, and it set forth by Stalin. Just because Stalin stimulated economic growth through a mixed economy doesn’t make him a ‘traitor’ or a ‘capitalist’, as it helped develop the industries the USSR needed to fend off the fascist threat during WW2, as the Chinese and Vietnamese are doing today. Also, what was so ‘nationalist’ about the USSR’s foreign policy? It promoted local languages and cultures in all the Soviet republics, and just because Russian was the lingua franca, that doesn’t mean that Stalin was ‘Russifying’ the many republics. Lastly the USSR started collectivization of farms and nationalization of the many industries (Increasing the quality of life dramatically) during his time along with an alliance with independent politicians (Bloc of Communists and Non-Partisans), as for the Red Guard, some of them were opportunists or traitors (Like Trotsky, Yezhov, or Bukharin)
That means that she is a pro
