      What’s your idea for addressing the problem of Russia’s emerging petty bourgeois using anti-semitic violence to protect their power? I’m sure you have a good faith, reality based solution to offer.

      So you see the way good faith interaction works is that it requires you don’t start out with being an insufferable asshat. People like you keep coming in, say some smug cliché, respond with more smug clichés whenever users try to engage with you, and then finally you act indignant when people treat you like you treat others. Please learn what “self-crit” is and then do it.

        Liberals don’t understand that everything they think they know about socialism and the USSR is just a handful of smug cliches. They don’t realize they are even doing it because they know so little about the subject

            It’s never specified whether these purges are killings or incarcerations, or just being removed from their position or from the party.

            There were periods of excess and mistakes when purging reactionary and treasonous elements in the military and party during a few periods of acute crisis, but a lot of those dudes were legit reactionaries and tsarist remnants as well.

            Lots of good Bolsheviks did get got out of disagreements and power struggles and I think that’s a legitimate criticism and great tragedy, but when you talk about these injustices specifically - it’s much narrowed down compared to what figures Liberals throw out.

            Try hundreds not millions or whatever, scale is way off

      well feel free to fuck off and never return then, nobody asked for your presence and we certainly don’t appreciate it
