Check this out: good faith criticism of Stalin coming from a Hexbear admin. We don’t ban people or remove their comments just because we disagree with them. We wait til they start slinging slurs or say something so outrageously in bad faith that there’s nothing worth continuing.
Letting Yagoda, Yezhov, and Beria operate and purge without accountability or oversight were three major examples of wrongdoing.
While his motivations were anti-eugenicist in nature, Stalin’s backing of Lysenko’s Neo-Lamarckist agricultural programs were a huge misstep which negatively impacted food security in the socialist world for decades.
Okay, there’s two I’m sure you’d agree with. Now it’s your turn.
In order to agree with you they’d have to know wtf you’re talking about, but since they’re just browsing Wikipedia for random contextless facts of dubious validity motivated purely by vague “Stalin = Hitler” rhetoric that’s been pre-baked into their brain, I don’t think we can get that far.
uhhh but this isn’t critique you’re not acknowledgeing the billion people he killed you’re just using big words to sound smart! where is the cirtique? just say he killed all ukrainians bet you cant because you cant criqitue stalln!
uj/ Until this thread I thought the meme about “discussing theory with liberals vs. discussing it with other leftists” was too self-congratulatory, but now I realise it’s just facts.
