And Kazakh children. 38-42% of all Kazakhs starved to death between 1930-1933, it’s why ethnic Russians are such a large portion of Kazakhstan’s population (because they were moved into the ‘emptier’ land)

Why? Because that is kinda a big part of communism.

For people that are every day suffering capitalist oppressions and having to combat capitalist propaganda about transgederism, so many here sure do love to regurgitate capitalist propaganda about the USSR.

You realise the USSR was having gender-affirming surgeries back in the 1970's?

last time I checked Stalin wasn't ruling the USSR in the 1970s: in fact homosexuality was decriminalised in Soviet Russia but under Stalin homosexuality was recriminalised in the Soviet Union.

u/Complex-Mushroom-445 23d ago

Do you consider Irish potato famine to be also "born from many circumstances, none intentional from British side?"

-1

u/Ewwatts 23d ago

No, because it was completely intentional.

Unlike the British empire which was stealing food.

Ukraine simply didn't have the food to feed their population. In part because of weather conditions (the region had cyclical famines throughout all of human history up till the USSR where it stopped) and partly because... MILLIONS OF LIVESTOCK WERE LEFT TO ROT AND CROPS BURNT BY KULAKS.

Was there an Irish equivalent of petty ass class traitors purposely causing a famine to worsen dramatically?

Think about it, about 7-8 mill died in that famine (obviously people suffered beyond this, all over the USSR), 3.5 mil being Ukrainians. Imagine how many could have been saved. With all that livestock and grain.

u/Madilune 23d ago

I'm pretty sure you have more important things to do than engage in genocide denial.

1

u/Ewwatts 23d ago

I'm not. Genocide denial requires there to be a genocide. Seriously, how could it be a targetted genocide of Ukrainians, when a higher ratio of Kazaks died and just as many Russians died?

Luckily historians that know more than pop history level trivia completely corrupted by western propaganda agree with me.

You are at the level of people disregarding climate scientists and falling for capitalist propaganda that climate change isn't real, just a few decades ago when that was the majority position.

u/Casp512 23d ago

No respected historian considers it a genocide.

First of all, that is incorrect. Second of all, while it is true that the classification of the Holodomor as a genocide is a hotly debated topic, it is generally widely agreed that it was an at least semi-intentional man-made famine. What is debated is 1. whether the famine itself was the goal or if they simply accepted the risk of one and 2. if the goal was to destroy the Ukrainian people. The only way you can excuse it as completely unintentional is if you suggest Stalin didn't know that taking away all the food from the Ukrainians would lead to them not having any food anymore and starving.

0

u/Ewwatts 23d ago

Saying "taking away the food from Ukrainians" is a sign you don't understand what happened and have pop history level understanding.

The reason the famine happened was because there was little food in Ukraine. The collectivisation was about distribution, it's not about taking away food from regions.

Like I've said, a higher ratio of Kazaks died and the same amount of Russians as Ukrainians. Did Stalin also take away all the food of Kazaks and Russians?

There was a natural famine (as cyclically happened all throughout history until the USSR solved it with collectivisation) due to bad weather conditions, on top of kulak sabotage (just look up how extensive this damage was, it will make your blood boil as you realise this amount of food alone could have at least prevented most deaths), as well as sanctions from the west so they couldn't trade for food.

The idea that Stalin just stole all of Ukrainians food is an ahistorical western narrative.

I googled him, he killed rosa Luxembourg, most likely. A renowned social Democrat. Also, pro trans Germany. He was most influential during the 1918-1920. And 10ish years later the book burning of lgbtq+ was done and 10 years more we were gassed to death. By some measure, he could be the reason for the Nazis.

u/Political_Desi 23d ago

Why thankfully? While Stalin was not good for queer rights in the soviet union on every other front he was very good.

The 5 year plans were a godsent for a fledgling state recovering from a catastrophic first world war. Womens liberation to a large degree happened under Stalin. Women in the workplace, military, stem etc. Education and literacy across the board went up. He oversaw the destruction of evengelical Christian institutions. He brought in wide sweeping labour reforms allowing workers to democratically elect managers and such. This is ignoring the elephant in the room that being to total destruction of nazi Germany in large part due to his reforms in the 30s.

And yes he did bring about the labour camps but it was hardly like a unique thing. Prison systems in general used prison labour and in places like the us still rely on it.

u/Nova_Explorer 23d ago

He was also expansionist and had multiple ethnic cleansings happen under his watch.

u/Political_Desi 23d ago

Wdym expansionist? Liberating eastern Europe from Nazis is expansionist? Laying the groundwork for statehood of most modern eastern European countries is statehood? Or are we talking about russification bulshit. Because the premise behind it is that a Georgian internationalist wanted everyone to be russian. It's truly baffling bordering on racism.

Also on ethnic cleansing. Are we talking about holodimir. Where in protest of collectivisation the kulaks burned their own crop because they were anti Bolshevik protofascists in a season of reduced crop yield causing an entirely preventable famine. If not please expand.

And before you say katyn please note the various conflicting statements by various entities each with their own agendas. There is evidence stalin ordered the execution of some polish officers but also good evidence to show that the Nazis tried to cover their own war crimes by blaming the soviets.

Id like to also say that Stalin was not good on many issues. His one size fits all model of socialism was very problematic and resulted in the sino soviet split arguably one of the most consequential geopolitical events since ww2 itself. Additionally Stalin's support of the Zionist settler colonialism going so far as to send military aid to Israel and vote in favour of its existence. We can also talk about the excesses during the purge however rather than arguing over these very real problems we instead allow imperialist America and the remnants on nazi narratives to dominate the western zeitgeist on Stalin and the soviet union as a whole.

u/Nova_Explorer 23d ago

Expansionist in the sense that he forcefully expanded the borders of the Soviet Union against the wills of the people who lived in those lands. During his time in office, the Soviet Union forcefully annexed Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Moldova, and a chunk of Finland (which I will note is what pushed Finland into allying Hitler, before that they were neutral).

For ethnic cleansings, we could talk the Holodomor, you have a warped view of it, but the point can be made without it. I’m also not going to cite Katyn because it’s not needed for the point. I will also just focus on those that happened within Soviet borders

I didn’t cite Kaliningrad as him being expansionist because Germany fucked around and found out, but removing the entire population is the definition of ethnic cleansing. You had the Volga Germans who were unrelated to the Nazis at all and were fully Soviet citizens but were expressly punished for being ethnic Germans. Plus Greeks, Norwegians, Kalmyks, Koreans (who were targeted because Korea was under Japanese occupation), Crimean Tatars, Poles (forcefully deported out of annexed lands from the Polish Republic), Balkars, Meskhetian Turks (who notably haven’t been able to return to their homeland in significant numbers to this day), Karapapakhs (who the USSR attempted to assimilate into Azerbaijanis), and some others.

Not going to mention Finns as ethnic cleansing because they generally fled when the Soviet soldiers annexed the chunk of Finland, but that’s a bigger point on it being immoral expansionism.

1

u/Political_Desi 23d ago

I'm going to ignore Finland as even kotkin states that it was in interest of soviet security concerns as a result of Finnish anti-communist aims as evidenced by volunteer Finnish forces invading Karelia a few years prior.

On the baltics. While I do not agree with the annexation context here matters. The baltic governments were very much likely to let Hitler walk through by 1940. There was a genuine communist movement that was systematically decimated and outlawed by the baltics while protofascists and Nazis were let loose over the same time. Moreover with the sudden fall of France and buffer region became critical to resist the inevitable nazi invasion. I'm not a proponent of how it played out after ww2 but the occupation of it made sense pragmatically. Similar to how a theoretical Anglo french force in Belgium would have caused issues for the Nazis.

Generally speaking the ethnic cleansing of Kaliningrad was in line with the general ethnical cleansing of the German settlers as a result of general plan ost in line with the Potsdam conference. In this there were excesses with the case of the Volga Germans as you correctly point out. However to a large degree this was an understandable excess. To put it in modern terms it would be the expulsion of Palestinian Jews from the west bank and Gaza to facilitate a 2 state solution. (This is why I and many others opposed a 2 state solution opting instead to analyse Zionism as an apartheid ethnosupremacist state that requires disolution and replacement as a whole but that's a separate conversation)

On the poles. This is a lot grey. Polish invasion of the soviet union in an outright landgrab in the early 1920s and subsequent polish settlement into said lands was the foundational reason for the ensuing deportations down the line. However the poles did not displace people's the way the Nazis did so the above explanation does not hold. This is an excess on Stalin's part however to my understanding many poles resettled to Poland of their own accord due to the soviets redrawing the borders back to how they were pre polish invasion.

There are 7 unjustifiable ethnic cleansings that happened during Stalin's tenure all during war time or used as collective punishment in the aftermath. The Kalmyk example being the worst of them. I am not justifying them. The systematic oppression of Turks and Muslims likely a result of Stalin's personal biases being from Georgia is a large part of this (4 were Turkic peoples and 2 were Muslim). Leaders being prejudices of this era was hardly a rarity especially amongst Europeans. Stalin was comparitively light compared to his contemporaries on this front. Hence I find it strange he is often brought up as if on par with Hitler. Not a justification or handwaving away. The deportation of around 3 million people with a death toll in the hundreds of thousands is immense. This is the reason I questioned what do you mean by ethnic cleansing rather than dismissing it.

I am not a fan of much of Stalin however the fundamental ideology he operates on has a lot of fundamental merit. That being the ideology of Marxist Leninism which he successfully inplemented.

9

u/A_Truthspeaker 23d ago

They don't have to always end up that way. But in Leninist ideologies you pretty much always rely on a (in one form or another) benevolent dictatorship. Centralising power into the hands of a few people, only to eventually have these people or positions voluntarily give up their power, while they -due to their power- have the ability to cement exactly that power, is an inherently flawed system.

I'm not saying it can never work, but it's extremely risky and will probably more often than not lead to a modern day China or Stalin-USSR situation.

u/Fancy_Chips 23d ago

Its easier to point to systems that made an impact. Republicanism, Communism, Fascism are all big ideologies that have been tested and can be argued to be successful (even when they arent).

Consider the tankie, since theyre the example here. Do you think Stalinists sit down and read a diverse set of literature? Or do they point to the industrialization of the USSR and say "look! It works!"? I'd wager the latter over the former. If you did have a diverse set of literature youd probably have some extra dashes and caveats in your ideology.

This is a really bizarre thing to say when what Stalin wrote speaks far less than the things he did - Stalinism in the USSR cost untold millions of lives and his policy was one that destroyed entire swathes of the cultures that were under the power of the USSR. Stalinism follows - I’m not sure why one would need to appreciate his literature to come to the conclusion that he is one of history’s greatest monsters and isn’t worth idolising, nor his works.

u/Sensitive-Medium7077 23d ago

My point is if you read from the man himself it might make you question this slanderous bullshit you’ve clearly internalized. If you read Mein Kampf from Hitler it lines up with the common perception of him exactly. If you read something like Stalin’s Marxism and the National Question it really calls into question his capacity to “destroy entire swathes of cultures” with his ideology, let alone the other claims. He directly called out Zionism even back then in 1913. People like Paul Robeson went on record saying the USSR was the first place he was treated like a full human being and not just a black man (meanwhile Jim Crow laws were still in full effect in the US).

2

u/RevolutionaryKey1974 23d ago edited 23d ago

You’re really going to bring up his criticisms of Zionism like he didn’t target Jewish doctors and scientists in the USSR and had well documented purges and piles upon piles of gulags which were well attested, and to which provably high amounts of people were sent to die horribly?

Come the actual fuck on, his writing can be whatever he wants it to be, but the guy as it stands was in direct control of the country, ruled it with an iron fist, and murdered millions. You’re not going to trutherise your way out of the horrendous shit he did by cherry picking examples of people who were less discriminated against in the USSR.

This isn’t me lionising the US btw, I wouldn’t wanted to have been any kind of person of colour in that country during Stalin’s rule either.

u/Sensitive-Medium7077 23d ago

Do you have a source for targeting Jewish doctors and scientists? People by and large not sent to die horribly in the gulag and the overwhelming majority were not even in there for political crimes. I have no idea what you’re imagining it was but it was similar to a regular prison. Look:

> We have heard much about the ruthless Reds, beginning with the reign of terror and repression perpetrated during the dictatorship of Joseph Stalin (1929-1953). Estimates of those who perished under Stalin’s rule—based principally on speculations by writers who never reveal how they arrive at such figures—vary wildly. Thus, Roy Medvedev puts Stalin’s victims at 5 to 7 million; Robert Conquest decided on 7 to 8 million; Olga Shatunovskaia claims 19,8 million just for the 1935-40 period; Stephen Cohen says 9 million by 1939, with 3 million executed or dying from mistreatment during the 1936-39 period; and Arthur Koestler tells us it was 20 to 25 million. More recently, William Rusher, of the Claremont Institute, refers to the ‘Too million people wantonly murdered by Communist dictators since the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917” {Oakland Tribuney \ 122196) and Richard Lourie blames the Stalin era for “the slaughter of millions” {New York TimeSy 8/4/96).

[…]

> To be sure, crimes of state were committed in communist countries and many political prisoners were unjustly interned and even murdered. But the inflated numbers offered by cold-war scholars serve neither historical truth nor the cause of justice but merely help to reinforce a knee-jerk fear and loathing of those terrible Reds.
In 1993, for the first time, several historians gained access to previously secret Soviet police archives and were able to establish welldocumented estimates of prison and labor camp populations. They found that the total population of the entire gulag as of January 1939, near the end of the Great Purges, was 2,022,976.

[…]

> Soviet labor camps were not death camps like those the Nazis built across Europe. There was no systematic extermination of inmates, no gas chambers or crematoria to dispose of millions of bodies. Despite harsh conditions, the great majority of gulag inmates survived and eventually returned to society when granted amnesty or when their terms were finished. In any given year, 20 to 40 percent of the inmates were released, according to archive records.^ Oblivious to these facts, the Moscow correspondent of the New York Times (7/31/96) continues to describe the gulag as “the largest system of death camps in modern history.”

[…]

> Should all gulag inmates be considered innocent victims of Red repression? Contrary to what we have been led to believe, those arrested for political crimes (“counterrevolutionary offenses”) num¬ bered from 12 to 33 percent of the prison population, varying from year to year. The vast majority of inmates were charged with nonpo¬ litical offenses: murder, assault, theft, banditry, smuggling, swindling, and other violations punishable in any society.
Total executions from 1921 to 1953, a thirty-three year span inclusive, were 799,455. No breakdown of this figure was provided by the researchers. It includes those who were guilty of nonpolitical capital crimes, as well as those who collaborated in the Western capitalist invasion and subsequent White Guard Army atrocities. It also includes some of the considerable numbers who collaborated with the Nazis during World War II and probably German SS prisoners. In any case, the killings of political opponents were not in the mil¬ lions or tens of millions—which is not to say that the actual number was either inconsequential or justifiable.

They found that the total population of the entire gulag as of January 1939, near the end of the Great Purges, was 2,022,976.

[…]

> Soviet labor camps were not death camps like those the Nazis built across Europe. There was no systematic extermination of inmates, no gas chambers or crematoria to dispose of millions of bodies. Despite harsh conditions, the great majority of gulag inmates survived and eventually returned to society when granted amnesty or when their terms were finished. In any given year, 20 to 40 percent of the inmates were released, according to archive records.^ Oblivious to these facts, the Moscow correspondent of the New York Times (7/31/96) continues to describe the gulag as “the largest system of death camps in modern history.”

[…]

> Should all gulag inmates be considered innocent victims of Red repression? Contrary to what we have been led to believe, those arrested for political crimes (“counterrevolutionary offenses”) num¬ bered from 12 to 33 percent of the prison population, varying from year to year. The vast majority of inmates were charged with nonpo¬ litical offenses: murder, assault, theft, banditry, smuggling, swindling, and other violations punishable in any society.
Total executions from 1921 to 1953, a thirty-three year span inclusive, were 799,455. No breakdown of this figure was provided by the researchers. It includes those who were guilty of nonpolitical capital crimes, as well as those who collaborated in the Western capitalist invasion and subsequent White Guard Army atrocities. It also includes some of the considerable numbers who collaborated with the Nazis during World War II and probably German SS prisoners. In any case, the killings of political opponents were not in the mil¬ lions or tens of millions—which is not to say that the actual number was either inconsequential or justifiable.

u/Micro666ham 23d ago

The points made are correct, but the conclusion doesn't make sense. The numbers named at the beginning weren't just political executions but all excess mortality due to Stalin's policies and actions. For example, the Soviet famine of 1930–1933, including the Ukrainian Holodomor and Kazakh Asharshylyk, often considered a genocide, killed 5-8 million by itself, caused by dekulakization and other policies that proved disastrous.

Furthermore, the point given that the Gulag population was 2,022,976 was only the population at one time: throughout its history ~18 million passed through the Gulags, with 1.5 to 1.7 million dying from overwork, disease, starvation, and other fatal conditions.

Lastly, alongside the 799,000 political executions, 400,000 died in the forced deportations of entire ethnic populations (such as Chechens, Crimean Tatars, Volga Germans, and Poles).

u/Sensitive-Medium7077 23d ago

I adamantly deny the Holodomor was a genocide given that basically every single historian who’s ever looked into it concluded it was criminal negligence at worst. Of course millions of people died, but it’s also important to recognize that there were constant big famines under the tsar and the Soviet Union reduced the frequency tremendously. But it other than that I broadly agree with what you’re saying. I’m not claiming the Soviet Union was a utopia or that it was never responsible for massive tragedies. But it was a big step up from even modern American society and it really makes no sense to me that it’s seen in same category as Nazi Germany.

It gave women the right to vote before the US did federally, women had a year of free maternity leave, it had free education through college and free healthcare, rent was the equivalent of maybe $50 a month, paid employment was guaranteed by law, groceries were subsidized, racial minorities (despite the deportations) did in fact have constitutional rights and protections and there is evidence that this was widely enforced (See Paul Robeson’s statements or Harry Haywood’s biography). Harry Haywood was able to get a free university education there while Jim Crow laws were still in effect in the US.

And to hammer the point home about how it was qualitatively different than Nazi Germany, look at this speech by Soviet Politician Andrey Vyshinsky given to the UN about the Draft Declaration of Human Rights:

> We consider it unacceptable to disseminate the so-called “ideas” of fascism, because we know from experience — for which we have paid with millions of lives of our children, our brothers, our fathers, our sisters, our mothers, our daughters. We know this from experience that cost our people torrents of blood, shed upon our land in the years of the Second World War.
> We all know very well what this so-called freedom to disseminate fascist “ideas” led to, and we do not wish and will not permit a repetition of this experience. We will not allow the idea of freedom to be perverted by calmly contemplating how fascist propaganda will once again unfold — propaganda that has already now raised its head and will raise it higher when it sees this declaration, in which the right of free dissemination of all kinds of ideas (and hence, of fascist “ideas” as well) is proclaimed. No. We must stifle at the root this terrible propaganda of fascism, which attempted to drown peace-loving, democratic countries in blood. We will not be swayed from our position by demagogic cries and whining that human freedom, human rights, supposedly cannot be limited. No — one can, if this freedom is used to the detriment of the public good, the interests of the people.
> One cannot permit people with burning torches to run freely through the streets of cities, preparing to set fire to our homes and destroy us. We do not recognise such freedom, and we cannot accept that our declaration, on behalf of the United Nations, should proclaim such freedom – to disseminate the ideas of Hitler and Goebbels.

I highly encourage you to at least look at communist sources on this topic and try to recognize both the legitimate good and legitimate bad aspects of the Soviet Union.

u/Micro666ham 22d ago

The Holodomor genocide question is still debated, and to say that EVERY single historian that's ever 'looked into it' says it isn't is just factually incorrect and I think you know that; it is still debated.

But honestly I think its just semantics. Like what defines destroying a group? What defines a group? Destroying? What is necessary for intent? Theres a reason there's only around 3-6 genocides that people can widely agree on (and even those like with the Armenian genocide or even the Holocaust have deniers somehow) - its possibly one of the most emotionally charged terms in all politics and law after all.

I hate him BTW. but I don't think we should separate the ones we don't agree with when we have a greater chance of victory if we stay united

u/ThE_reAl__ 23d ago

I see a lot of historians argue it wasnt seen as a widespread issue so they (new leaders such as lenin) didn't bother putting it in earlier into the constitution, not that they agreed with the type of behavior queers do. Because this is an ultra right wing authoritarian state where if you want personal freedoms you are against the union (empire).

u/chandeluria 24d ago

For the weirdos in the thread quibbling over their uninformed personal definitions of communist terminology;

Stalinism isnt even a real ideology. It does not refer to an ideology. Stalinism as an adjective refers to the policies and historical acts of the Soviet Union's government under Stalin's premiership. There is no such thing as a modern Stalinist, the concept is a nonstarter. He did not nor did he claim to have an ideologically distinct worldview from Lenin. He was a Marxist-Leninist. While this was a term coined by him, the fundamental underlying premises he asserted with this term are in no way different from those asserted by Lenin.

If you have a problem with Marxism-Leninism thats fine (no, it isnt, you are wrong, but thats your prerogative), if you have a problem with marxist-leninists this is also fine (they are objectively annoying regardless of the validity of MLism)

But most of all, all of this is immaterial to the meme in question. Its a funny remember this person post. Petulantly quibbling over whether or not this woman is a Stalinist is both banal and pointless.

u/Dreferex 23d ago

A party wins the elections, after which it seizes power to ensure only it can run again, seizes the means of production and represses the enemies of state.

That is what ML does and is also nearly verbatim what the NSDAP did. Of course the goals were differen't but they had very similar results: genocides.

8

u/Live_Bug_7060 23d ago

That's the most semplistic and anti-historical view of ML, you haven't studied the specific history of that time and haven't read the books that the political ideology stands on. Also the nazi never seized the means of productions, they were in bad with the bourgeoisies same as the fascist. You're falling for propaganda a century old. I can recommend a couple of books if you want, both that I've read in private and studied in my university.

Btw I'm not an othodox ML, you're just wrong

4

u/Dreferex 23d ago

That is just the wikipedia definition of the how they mean to seize the power. It is what happened in Russia, China and Korea. And Nazis did nationalize a shit ton of industries, and just as Stalin and Soviets they then either "redistributed" the factories among their allies who by complete coincidence already owned others and made them work to "the benefit of the state" or like Stalin appointed political allies or subordinates at management positions, by which, through unknown means, they lived lifes oddly similar to western factory owners. Were the Fascists in bed with industrialists? Yes. The communists just replaced the industrialists with their own people and continued to exploit the workers in the name of "proletariat".

The truth is that Stalinism is just red fascism with Marxist asthetic. Unless you want to argue ideals, but then we might as well let ancaps and other utopian schizos talk.

The fact that you defend an ideology that inevitably leads to the rise of monsters like Stalin says more about whether you care about others or just want to be able to say "we should kill...".

u/Bragi01 24d ago

I'd assume it's a case of who is using it and what they mean by it. Like this tweet just meant it as a shorting of trans girl, but if you find it on an organe and black video hosting site it's being used as a not so friendly term. Also the internet just tends to hate nuance. AGAB isn't necessarily bad, it's just that the type of person to make a post complaining about it are they same type of people that give positive replies to the poster and then it creates a loop. AGAB gets bad when it's used in a bad way, like using it to miss gender someone. Where as if it's in the right settings it might not be as bad depending on the person who is being referred to.

u/Yuzu-Adagio 23d ago

The gripe with the AGAB stuff is it's centering the wrong gender. There are (imo) legit reasons to refer to somebody that way, but a lot of the time it's just kinda used as woke-flavored misgendering, particularly against non-binary people. I'm a trans woman, and I'm AMAB, but only one of those terms really seems like it's coming from a place of thinking of me as a woman.

As for "tgirl," I didn't know about the porn application until two comments ago, so I can't help you there. It seems better than a lot of things trans women get called in the sex work world, though.

1

u/UwU-Sandwich 23d ago

that... doesn't answer the question tho? why do (some of) you want the trans in "trans girl" specifically pointed out? "it's not as bad as other things you might call someone" is hardly a reason

I'm not sure people actively want it specifically pointed out in most cases, just it's not a bad thing (to most of us).
