Drag hates trailers. They’re full of spoilers

Drag can’t taste onion. It just takes like stringy nothing. Like a slightly more robust grass. It’s annoying to eat because it gets in the way of the flavour.

An electrical current runs through a thin wire with an extremely high melting point in a vacuum, safely using resistance to turn electric potential into heat and light. Do kids these days not know that?

Your mistake was owning a car

It wasn’t publicly owned. That requires democracy. The people didn’t own the government, and the government owned the means of production, so the people didn’t own them. The government was a private entity.

The USSR was neoliberal.

So you’re a McCarthyist? You hate communism?

How come you think communists are Nazis?

Maybe you could read the book and find out

Drag read the book, and they didn’t side with the fascists at all. Read the book, please.

Drag read the book cover to cover and didn’t see anything about the revolutionaries being the same people as the fascists, apart from that one sentence. If you say there’s proof in the book, prove it. Drag read it and couldn’t find any. Drag is starting to think you’re the one who didn’t read it.

Drag is needling you to provide a source that the revolutionaries and the nazis were the same group, or at the very least allied. You’ve only given one sentence of source, and it’s hearsay. Drag wants you to give compelling evidence. Accusations aren’t worth anything without strong evidence, so drag is confused why you’re wasting time when you could give more sources. Seems like you favour rhetoric and guilt trips over proof.

Leading rabbinical circles in New York received a cable early in November from corresponding circles in Vienna that “Jewish blood is being shed by the rebels in Hungary.”

That’s hearsay.

Very much later-in February, 1957-the World Jewish Congress reported that “anti-Semitic excesses occurred in more than twenty villages and smaller provincial towns during the October-November revolt.” This occurred, according to this very conservative body, because “fascist and anti-Semitic groups had apparently seized the opportunity, presented by the absence of a central authority, to come to the surface.” Many among the Jewish refugees from Hungary, the report continued, had fled from this anti-Semitic pogrom-like atmosphere (N.Y. Times, Feb. 15, 1957). This confirmed the earlier report made by the British Rabbi, R. Pozner, who, after touring refugee camps, declared that “the majority of Jews who left Hungary did so for fear of the Hungarians and not the Russians.” The Paris Jewish newspaper, Naye Presse, asserted that Jewish refugees in France claimed quite generally that Soviet soldiers had saved their lives."

You already posted all of that. Since your memory is struggling, drag will help you by repeating what drag said when you said all that the first time:

Perhaps if the revolutionaries had been allowed to seize the government and impose order, they would have put down the opportunistic fascist movement. Instead, it seems at first glance that the USSR sent their tanks in to cause chaos, created the lawlessness that allowed the fascists to fester, and then took credit for solving the problem they themselves caused.

You won’t have to see them post if you move to an instance that blocks them

Here are some thoughts:

Marx said communism is stateless

The state won’t wither away if you keep defending its right to use force

The vanguard party must either accept revolution against themselves so that society can become more communist, or become reactionary tyrants

Modern Russia isn’t fucking socialist, you don’t need to defend it anymore

State capitalism isn’t socialism. State socialism requires robust democracy

Every actual successful communist nation that reached communism didn’t have a vanguard state

Being an enemy of the West doesn’t mean a country inherently deserves your support. That’s how voting works, it’s not how international relations work

Trump is planning to displace the Palestinians and make Gaza a US colony, and Lemmy’s Marxist-Leninist community tried to help him

Having a small movement with little power isn’t an excuse for making bad decisions. Take responsibility for your actions

Drag is not seeking to have an argument about each and every one of these points. Drag is seeking to prove that “tankie bad” is not a thought terminating cliche as you said. Drag has plenty of thoughts, and has already discussed them exhaustively on this platform. And this list of thoughts isn’t an invitation to sealion.

Drag suggests you learn what a dude, guy, or man is, and why perhaps you shouldn’t call strangers those words, especially after investigating their profiles and most likely realising they’re nonbinary.

FOSS isn’t Soviet style state capitalism / socialism either.

Well except for the Catalonians, the Haudenosaunee, the Australians, the Polynesians…
