@witix red fascism is still fascism and that symbol represents none of the bullet points

just like you would look like a dork for wearing a t-shirt with the hindu swastika in europe, you also look like a dork for posting hammer and sickle shit

russian tanks carried that symbol on flags when they invaded ukraine in 2022 and still raise this flag over every town and village they raze into the ground

for all of eastern europe the hammer and sickle represents the violence and brutality people lived while being part of the soviet union, the same violence that ukraine is living every day for the past two years now

@getimiskon @NeonPurpleStar @witix Ok, I am not huge on history and politics, but wasn’t russia marxist communist as well
Like yeah sure it’s not rly communist now, but it used to be, and it didn’t go as well either.
I believe in socialism and perhaps different forms of communism as well (like I said, I am not huge into politics), but from historical viewpoint it did kinda go poorly.
I personally dislike that symbol myself cus Russia was using that symbol during all it’s bad stuffness back then (idk about current times, I think some tanks had that symbol but like this doesn’t mean shit, I mean China also calls itself communist lmao).
I really don’t mean this as a some sort of argument, I’m more into understanding all that stuff.

@MarkAssPandi i see... i don't know much about russia, to be honest. But yes, the hammer and sickle symbol has got that bad reputation because of all the atrocities that happened in the name of "communism". And i don't want to use it either, i prefer to use the ancom flag instead.
As for the states that call themselves communist, i'm personally as against those as with any other state out there. It's just my opinion.
By the way, i saw the original post more like a shitpost, to some degree because of the hammer and sickle. neocat_evil_3c

Also no, I did not "defend" the red terror. I just said it's better than the other guys were at the time
But yeah, no, I get it. Given the choice between being on Nazi and Soviet side of the WW2, of course you'd resent the red terror so much that you'd join the former

@NeonPurpleStar@outerheaven.club @getimiskon@fedi.getimiskon.xyz I mean, I did point it out because Lenin... did make it legal and it's about on most sources that aren't made by billionaire think-thanks? There's even mention of soviet authors saying "that homosexuality was a disease, but not one that prevented normal functioning in society"

Far as fuck from even remotely good, but definitely better than what hitler and the capitalist buddies in america were doing.

Also untagging Pandi as she probably doesn't want to be too involved this, some people have sensibility instead of starting a political argument uncw'd

or 17 million victims of nazi germany in ww2
oh, and are we including victims of current-day "perfect" capitalism? Like, you know, all the poverty we export to 3rd world countries because "communism bad"?

Also you know, that's a very rad excuse for insulting other people. Though for whatever reason I was told it's impolite and I shouldn't attack other people personally because other people did before? Probably just commie lies idk

Skip to paragraph 3 if you don't care about being a hypocrite and just want to discuss hammer and sickle.

>avid NATO fan
So you have a problem when someone uses the hammer and sickle for a shitpost and yet you have absolutely no problem with supporting imperialist creation made to defend the American world hegemony and increase international support for genocidal regimes? Using your own argument about Ukrainians - What would you say to Iraqi children who get their entire family bombed bombed by fucking NATO drones while you wave their flag? And using the "black book of communism" type of numbers capitalism kills 15-20 million people every year (these are people who die in capitalism due to starvation, even tho we have more than enough food for everybody, dehydration, while companies like nestle or coca cola take away their water and easily curable diseases, even tho medicine for them could easily be produced even on site if these weren't companies secrets). And all of that is being currently defended by your favorite NATO. And who would you support if there comes a day that one of the horizontal structures grows so big that it threatens the capitalism so much that NATO nations together decide to crush it?

Of course, you can't just disband NATO in our current world like that. But saying that "you are a fan of it" is something absolutely different. Just like you might say you can't just disband an X nation without building any horizontal structures to replace it (as that wouldn't be beneficial for anyone) and that doesn't make you a fan of X nation.

Also - reclamation of symbols is absolutely fucking great. While I personally don't think it is worth to do with hammer and sickle I totally respect people who do it. It once used to represent the unity between peasants and proletariat and then it got seized by authoritarians as it was a good symbol for propaganda. And before you say something stupid like "would you respect (for example) Hindu reclamation of swastika?" yes I absolutely would, as long as it is done in the way that most of the people know what they mean by that, as this symbol absolutely should belong to Hindu people and not to nazi cucks who don't even use it anyways as they prefer their dog whistles like celtic cross as they have to hide their actual worldview because they would never get any support if they didn't.

@lithek

you know i actually enjoyed reading this response and did not boil in anger while reading it

part of it, like medicine and whatnot, i find it too exotic and in conspiratorial territory, i am not going to touch too much on the content, but on something more basic

i don't like capitalism or a hierarchies in society, but if i am ever forced to choose being an underling of the united states or a new born soviet union, i will pick the united states 100/100

the soviet union was utterly abominable and it was entirely the reason why all of eastern europe rushed to join nato after the fall of the ussr

this tendency of russia to force the world between polar opposites is glaringly obvious the last two years in ukraine, and i will support nato and ukraine till whatever end

please do not respond to this, i really don't want to discuss this any further, and i won't read what you may come up with
