Sir, I think you're beginning to lose your grip on this debate. The references cited are challenging the numbers western propaganda levies regarding the death tolls. Looking at them with more scrutiny shows the calculations rather than broad strokes. Just because your opinion is "plainly" stated 1/5 - ThreadSky

and easier to digest without research, doesn't mean it's correct - ethically or morally. Digging into the history is often hard and time consuming, but if you look at it with an open-mind, there's a lot to beholden to. We can't make you do that though. You have to be motivated. 2/5

Additionally, nobody is disagreeing with you regarding Trump's growing atrocities; however, to overcome his fascistic regime, it's our duty to understand the similarities between the past and present. That way we can combat them efficiently and effectively while upholding our values 3/5

If you don't trust the things he says and does, you also shouldn't trust the statistics the government provides. They're setting you up to fail because they want resistance to fail. It'd be like hunting for treasure using a map given to you by a pirate that doesn't want you to find his treasure 4/5

Once again, I implore you - if you're truly interested in combating the capitalistic atrocities that lie ahead - to research the resources Drew provided. There's also a large library of theory that combats the imperialistic ideologies America has been founded on. We'll be here once you're ready 5/5

My grip is fine. Trump is the reason I’ve started to learn more history. Our only issue is you being coy about how many of his own stalin murdered to achieve his goals. You tell me any western source is not to be trusted. Does than include back to the 1950’s?
You also claimed Stalin wasn’t so bad?

I haven't claimed anything, and all we've asked is that you do additional research. Western propaganda is a fickle thing, even in the '50s, and that's what we're attempting to warn you of.

There's little left for me to say other than what I've already said, so I'll reiterate it:

That Stalinism had a lot to offer? Maybe I am off my rocker. But after all this back n forth you aren’t motivating me at all. My entire is that if you have to kill people who are not aggressors to succeed, then the world is better off without, and without the ideology at all.

The unfortunate truth is that capitalism kills thousands of people everyday, and by the end of its life it'll have caused the death of more than any governmental system seen throughout human history. (1/3)

You're so blinded by what's been regurgitated via imperialistic propaganda that you're unwilling see the harm of the system we're currently oppressed by. Trump may be the face of it currently, but it can be traced back throughout our history. (2/3)

No government is undeserving of scrutiny by those who live in it- that includes Stalin's regime; however, studying the principles Marx and Engles established still helps us understand Lenin, Stalin, and other leftist governments. It'll help us in the modern-day strive for a better world (3/3)

I hate capitalism, it’s unchecked in the U.S. and is more corporatism and oligarchy now than capitalism. Trumps regime has made that crystal clear. If we can remove him, moving forward AND saving our democracy will require massive political changes. And the players/oligarchs/corporations

Will not willingly give up their power. I’m living in fear in America being a white straight male(not rich and not maga). I can’t imagine what lgbtq, women specifically and all people of color are feeling. I know it won’t end well without a lot of….damage first.
