  • Well,my criticisms mainly extend to modern day Russia

    I have little bad to say about the USSR as a whole,barring some Romania specific stuff like giving the Ukrainian SSR it’s coastline and Bucovina,and of course the chauvinism that remained both in it’s internal arrangements and in it’s relations with it’s “allies”,which were more akin to satrapies than partners

    That being said,I recognize it’s historically progressive role and will always acknowledge it’s role in liberating us from the nazi scourge and uplifting mainly agrarian nations into at least somewhat industrialized nations

    Of course,this development wasn’t completely even,and many mistakes were made,and I do agree we need to move away from the ghost of communism past,but I firmly believe Eastern Europe without them would have been a much more tragic place












  • All due respect, nuclear war is apocalypse by another name

    What exactly does it do for the benefit of humanity? Erase all of history and doom the unfortunate few to die in utmost agony? Who’s to say that humanity won’t survive climate change? Who’s to say the worst will happen? How can we know for sure that what you say will come true? Do we want to chance it on our non nuclear wasteland world or do we wanna go all in and risk killing off everything to cut off the cancer. While I do see where you’re coming from,I fundamentally can’t justify consigning humanity to that type of grim fate,even if the fascists get their commupance. I think humanity deserves to live,even if it is a miserable life.

    Now,this doesn’t mean blind pacifism and inaction, but accelerationism is something I will never agree with, even if what you say is right. The risk is too great and I can’t in good conscience support something that will erase billions and leave the last millions to die in pain and suffering just for the sake of justice.



  • I really don’t get why people would prefer the world die rather than act less than ideally, erring on the side of erroneous caution in the nuclear age

    I also don’t get the postulations that state that the final victory of the US camp is all but assured if the Middle East or China or Russia fall

    I absolutely don’t want that to happen,but I don’t buy the assumption that it would permanently solve the contradictions within capitalism or end any hope of a better world

    It would set humanity back millenia,sure,but a nuclear war would reset all of human history as well as make the planet fully near unlivable, something even worse than if the worst climate change predictions come true

    Is this leftist nihilism? I honestly don’t get why people are becoming posadists all of a sudden
