Monte Carlo Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 So here it is... what do our resident Stalin-apologists make of it? Don't tell me, they were counter-revolutionaries and it was all part of a greater good right? Try it, just remember, last week you were denying it.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

Moose Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Nah I'm sure it'll be "It happened before 1945 so it doesn't count". There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
HoonDing Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Maybe Stalin forgot to read the little letters. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Walsingham Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 It's a little unfair to say LoF is a Stalinist. I think he tries to blame Stalin for all the 'mistakes' made by communism. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

lord of flies Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 *indiscriminately murders hundreds of thousands of men, women and children in order to beat the Soviets to Honshu and Seoul* *millions of people starve in own territory for no good reason* *complains about some microscopic Soviet atrocity*
I want teh kotor 3 Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 LoF, I'll try explaining this very simply: GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER ARE FAR WORSE THAN POVERTY!!!! In 7th grade, I teach the students how Chuck Norris took down the Roman Empire, so it is good that you are starting early on this curriculum. R.I.P. KOTOR 2003-2008 KILLED BY THOSE GREEDY MONEY-HOARDING ************* AND THEIR *****-*** MMOS
lord of flies Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 LoF, I'll try explaining this very simply: GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER ARE FAR WORSE THAN POVERTY!!!! Agreed. Fortunately, your bourgeois democracy somehow manages to do both. I wonder how? *whistles absent-mindedly*

Walsingham Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 *complains about some microscopic Soviet atrocity* Again, you are best condemned in your own words. 22,000 soldiers being murdered is not 'microscopic'. But it does illustrate your swivel-eyed fundamentalism that you regard that number as microscopic. To put it another way the only reason the famine crimes of the Empire are important (which you keep mentioning) is because the victims are made up of lots of those 'microscopic' quantities. The point being that you don't give a toss about actual people. You just want an excuse to put on some high leather boots, and start pumping bullets into anyone who doesn't do exactly as you say. Sod compassion. The revolution for you is just high times and 'revenge'. Incidentally, I notice as usual you couldn't be bothered to address my counterpoint t o your claim that communism can be maintained by peace and love despite the fact that any time mass terrifying violence isn't applied the actual people benefiting from communism flee as fast as humanly possible.

Then again, I shouldn't have expected intellectual honesty from the guy who tried to argue that the Holodomor was an intentional genocide. "War is hell."
213374U Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Then again, I shouldn't have expected intellectual honesty from the guy who tried to argue that the Holodomor was an intentional genocide.This again? It was intentional. Intentional as in, one of the reasonably foreseeable consequences of collectivisation, a policy they implemented regardless. It's funny that you of all people would accuse anyone of intellectual dishonesty, mr. "any party but the CPSU is a reactionary bourgeois power clique".

It was intentional. Intentional as in, one of the reasonably foreseeable consequences of collectivisation, a policy they implemented regardless. If the Holodomor was intentional, the far greater massacres of the Indian and Irish famines under British rule were also intentional and much, much greater.It's funny that you of all people would accuse anyone of intellectual dishonesty, mr. "any party but the CPSU is a reactionary bourgeois power clique".How, exactly, is that "intellectually dishonest"? Ah, wait, it's not.I note you still refuse to comment on my rebuttal of your claim that people love to be communist.

Who here is defending the return to Soviet policies and practices? How, exactly, is that "intellectually dishonest"? Ah, wait, it's not.Hmm. I don't think "intellectually dishonest" means what you think it means. The same applies to "reactionary bourgeois power clique". I know that one of the pillars of Stalinism was a conscious effort to redefine as much of the lexicon as possible to minimize the very ability of people to think badly of the Party, the Leader and of communism itself. But that never worked in real life when it was attempted with the aid of mass repression, so don't expect it to work in some internet message board, lol. img]http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab190/luxemburgistthirdworldist/267-03.gif[/img]I thought we had already established that pulling some chart from your sleeve just isn't going to cut it. I can do that too. Why don't you go ahead and post your sources? How many of those asked had actually experienced the height of Soviet or Soviet-fostered oppression?
