    I’m sure the Polish people are so glad the soviets “saved them from Nazism”

    Polish nationalists are immensely russophobic and reactionary, making that claim is like asking Spaniards (I’m one myself) about the literal golden age of Islam in Al-Andalus: you’ll get a distorted, nationalist, racist and islamophobic account based on vibes instead of the material reality. Polish people can think whatever they want after 35 years of nationalist right-wing propaganda (look at the results of their latest elections): the Soviets saved their fucking guts from genocide and Nazism, and yes I’m saying the Soviets, not just Russians: Ukrainians, Belarusians, Kazakh, Georgian… All of the people from the Soviet Union did the most immense sacrifice to rid Europe from Nazism. And liberal Nazi apologists like you will never forgive them from doing so.

    I’m sure the Ukrainians appreciate the Russians brutally suppressing their independence

    This is especially funny. Ukraine literally obtained autoctonous political representation and the state of a republic for the first time in history during the Bolshevik revolution. There are literal letters between Rosa Luxembourg (whom you probably love because she didn’t actually defeat Nazis) and Lenin in which Lenin defends the right of Ukrainian self-determination and the creation of a Ukrainian republic, institutions and a sense of nationality, in opposition to Rosa claiming Ukrainian nationalism shouldn’t exist (interesting read if you truly care about the origins of Ukrainian nationalism and the people of Ukraine and you’re not just concern trolling). Ukraine industrialised thoroughly during Soviet times and had very comparable living standards to the rest of the Union, which can’t be said after the perpetual crisis that took place once the Soviet Union was illegally dissolved against the desire of the majority of Ukrainians (71% of them voted for the Soviet Union to remain in the 1991 referendum). Your analysis is vibes-based taking western propaganda as a source and not actual historical events.

    forcing them to die en mass against the Nazis, often times not even being armed and sent to the front lines

    Why this fucking focus on Ukrainians? Belarus lost literally 1 in 4 people in the war against Nazism, how come you don’t make the same claims about Belarusians? The answer is because your analysis is ahistorical and not based on actual events, but on anticommunist nazi-adjacent nationalist russophobic propaganda. You’re using literal Nazi propaganda of “the unarmed human wave tactics” that featured in Nazi posters during the war after the defeat in Stalingrad, YOU ARE SIDING WITH THE NAZIS.

    you refuse to even acknowledge my points about Holodomor

    What part did I not acknowledge? There was a hunger episode in the early 30s in areas of the Soviet Union as a consequence of land collectivisation policy, is that not enough for you? Or do you need to fabricate genocidal intent because of your obsessive victimization of Ukrainians, completely disregarding the millions of Russian and Central Asian deaths in the hunger because they don’t suit your political nazi-adjacent agenda?

    Wasters Germany still feels the effects of soviet oppression to this day

    Eastern Germany is less developed economically than Western Germany due to two reasons: the first is that Eastern German industry was thoroughly dismantled after the reunification in favour of Western German companies. The second is that Western Germany developed in much more favourable conditions due to the access of cheap resources and labour extraction from the Global South that western capitalist countries have no problem performing and that for some reason you don’t care about, which is frankly immensely racist. Who cards if West Germany developed, like the rest of western Europe or North America, on the backs of literal BILLIONS of exploited people in Central and South America, Africa, Middle East and Southeast Asia, right? Who cares about the west performing unequal exchange? After all it’s black people, Muslims and Asians who are being exploited, and those aren’t worthy of your attention unlike white Ukrainians or Poles who enjoyed immensely better conditions BY LITERALLY ANY METRIC thanks to socialism.

    I fucking hate tankies so much.

    That’s because half of your ideology and worldview is indistinguishable from that of Nazis
