    Great, I however grew up in post-communist country and seen with my own eyes the fallout of it’s existence.
    Exchanging one propaganda for another is just as bad. Fuck USA, but also fuck USSR. Both of those can be true.

      I however grew up in post-communist country and seen with my own eyes the fallout of it’s existence.

      “I grew up during the feeding frenzy of capitalist pillaging that immediately followed the death of the Soviet Union and it sucked, so fuck communism for that.”

      Bro what are you even saying. “I grew up in Hiroshima after the US nuked it and it sucked, so fuck Japan.” You grew up under capitalism, take up your issues with the rich western pedophiles who actually engineered them.

      Ask an anticommunist to describe the horrors of communism, and every time…

      Edit: I cannot wrap my head around this level of dumb bullshit.

      "I grew up during the Spanish occupation with morion-clad assholes raping and pillaging everywhere, so I know how bad life was in Aztec Tenochitlan "

      “I grew up with US bombs and napalm raining down of my family, so I know how horrible Communist Vietnam is”

      “Psh, you think Indonesian society was acceptable? You should have seen how fucked up it was under Dutch colonial rule. Fuck the natives for that.”

      But you didn’t see the fallout of the USSR’s existence. You saw the fallout of its ceasing to exist.

      The dissolution of socialism and the reintroduction of capitalism was an economic disaster. What you’re blaming on socialism was in fact capitalism doing what capitalism does. An estimated 7 million people died due to the dissolution of socialism and reintroduction of capitalism, and the large majority of post-soviet citizens regret its fall.

      Death rates spiked:

      And wealth disparity skyrocketed alongside the newly impoverished majority:

      Just because two statements can be true does not mean any two statements must be true. The facts have shown that capitalism has been a disaster, and that a return to socialism is necessary for post-soviet states.

      So you saw how bad the fallout of it’s collapse was.

      Exchanging one propaganda for another is just as bad. Fuck USA, but also fuck USSR

      What other propaganda! The USSR doesn’t exist to put out propaganda, all you are getting is pro US propaganda.

      Both of those can be true.

      They can be but they aren’t
