Title, we generally talk about the civil war on the russian side of the USSR, but what happened on the rest of the territory during the war, and how did socialist ideas expand so fast on the most underdeveloped parts of the Russian empire, and so many other smaller countries that where bordering the central and eastern parts of the russian area?

    Yes, i am extremelly confused by what he is constantly spouting about "setlers". He knows that every american nation is a colony right? He also know that those same nations did the same thing the US did to the natives, till today, my country still is colonizing and destroying the lifes of the natives on the amazon region, and so are evry other latin american country with an native population. Mexico is an massive graveyard of natives, all brutally genocided, and so are the central american countries.

    This saying that only the US population needs to be despised for being an imperialist setler population is american exceptionalism by itself, its basically saying that the US is more evil then others simply because it is the US, and because it is the US, it will never be able of changing. This is dumb, just because an country is an colony, it doesnt mean it cant become socialist, just because an country is imperialist, it doesnt mean it cant become socialist, thinking otherwise is thirdworldism, and even worse, its american exceptionalism; "because its the US" is american exceptionalism by itself, its like saying "the US is more 'verb' then any other place in the world, both on the past and on present, nothing can best the US at being 'verb', the US is the most 'verb' in the world" see what i am saying? Now put "evil" or "imperialist" or "capitalist" on the place of verb, and now put an positive verb, like "free", democratic", "civilized", or any other of those stupid things yankees love to jerk off about their country, see how it sounds? "The US is 'verb' simply because it is the US, and because it is the US, it will never change", this is american exceptionalism, plain and simple, the US is at best, the most relevant and succesfull imperialist power TODAY, 90 years ago, if you asked on Europe, they would say nazi germany was the biggest imperialist, that it was an unfixable country, and would never become socialist, 15 years later, the GDR was born, this proves that even the worse of the worse of a country can be socialist, even something as nazi germany was able to be parcially fixed. And we need to remember, Marx passed most of his life on Britain and Germany, he was able to see the imperialism of both countries, and how britain was building the biggest empire in the world, and even then, he never thought "its impossible to fix GB because its an imperialist country, and therefore, its completelly evil and will never change", lenin lived on the Russian empire, he was able to see very close how imperialism works, he writed a book about it, but he never sayed "Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Austria, Belgium, The US, The ottoman empire, those are all imperialist countries, they are the worse of the worse, they will never be socialist because of that, the minds of their people are unchangeable by propaganda, might give up as an revoluctionary them lol".

    Can we please just stop using this damn word altogether, forget this ever happened and continue our lifes and talk about more important stuff? This wannabe sino-soviet split is so dumb, we are fighting because of misunderstandings, badly worded texts, and because of a bunch of clowns said some stupid shit on twitter and youtube. Its so not worth it to even put energy into this, i am starting to think this is not even about patsocs anymore. Also muad'dibber constantly menacing to ban people because of this is not helping at all. I dont even get what patsocs actually are, and so do most people here, this feels like a bunch of children having angry rants about communism on school, when they dont even know the definition of it, i know this for self experience.

    Oof, sorry for the rant, the way i readed it sounded a lot like you where being an arrogant person, putting things on my mouth i dont even agree with. This is what lack of communication does to a conversation, sorry for sounding agressive, but i am starting to get really angry at everyone here using "patsoc" as some kind of dog wistle. It remembers me of how kruschev and revisionists used the word "stalinist" or "tankie" on people that where against their revisionist bs. I think we should stop using it all together, relax, review what these words are actually meaning, show actual proff and get some actual info on those people who call themselves "patsocs", otherwise this comment section is just turning into an shit spyral where one side is just closing their ears, screeching "patsoc" and menacing bans, and the other side cant even express their opinion without getting buried under downvotes and angry comments (btw those people downvoting everything comrades PolandAsAnStateofMind and SaddamHussain are saying are cowards, they dont know anything about "patsocs" they dont know anything about what this situation is all about, but they are still just showing blind hate towards them).

    Also, Osama Bin Laden said that he did not command to throw the planes at the bridge instead of the towers (with would be dozens of times worse to the US, as it would cripple the local economy) because he wanted something that would be shocking, appear on the news and be remembered. And we all know how Al Qaeda is funded by the US for decades, so they might have told to Bin Laden to aim especifically at the towers because it would be more easilly marketeable as propaganda against the middle east, and would be less damaging then the bridge or the pentagon.

    "Lenin on his own part several times purposefully reminded his European comrades that the original “proletariat” — of Imperial Rome — did not work, but was supported by the surpluses of slave labor. As the lowest free class of Roman citizens, their only duty was to father new soldiers for the Roman Legions (which is why they were called “proletarii” in Latin) while they lived off government subsidies."

    I want to point out how this view by marx and engels was wrong, parentti's book "the murder of julius Caesar" talks about rome with an materialistic point of view and how the information about rome was tainted by the burgeoise intelingentsia, on how the people that writed about rome and the roman people where rich aristocratic assholes, that never worked hard on their lifes and aways looked at the working class on general with disgust. This was an misunderstanding and an lack of proper information by marx and engels and should not be seen as fact, but as how the burgeoise manipulation of midia gos beyond our own ages, and how they will make you sheer for the opressors, and opress the opressed.

  • And after that all of the celtic nations that have been dominated by the anglos for so long could unite into an socialist union of celtic nations, with would include ireland, scotland, Isle of mann, wales and cornewell. And for an extra based country, france could also fuck off and liberate brettony too, so all celtic nations could be together.

    While we all know that europe have been an main center of evil and world wide opression against non european nations, lots europeans nations now are victims of western imperialism coming from franco, anglo, nordic and germanic countries. Slavs and celts have been opressed by other nations since the beggining, and hate against not only latin americans, but on the last century it wad born an hidden disrespect against latin countries, with rascist stereotypes and disrespect to the countries ass a whole. Portugal, spain and italy are virtually neo colonies of the imperialist powers of the EU, and romania is constant victim of syereotypes that are centuries old. There is also the french opression against the non french population that has been opressed by the french goverment for over an century. Down with anglo, german and franco supremacy, alongwith any type of supremacy with the exception of the workers and people supremacy!

    Ive seem some posts and comments saying stuff where the US test weapons on european citizens, where the US extracted criminals from european countries (mainly Italy) because they where from the US army or the inteligence agencies, where they sacrificed european and japanese economies during US crisis, where they tested weapons on soldiers of their own allies without their consent, where he spyed on european leaders, where they extracted people that angried the US using illegal means and reasons (Assange is a good example of this) and much more shit. How many of this cases are out there? How fucked is the relationship between the US and its allies that it constantly abuses them just because he can?

    We all know Mussolini and the fascist italian goverment that ruled italy from the 20s till the crushing defeat of the last fascist goverment on north italy on ww2. They virtually created fascism as an ideology, that inspired lots of other dictators at the time, but we also all know how ridicularized they are on history, we all heard the memes of incopetent italy, mussolini being an idiot and an puppet, where every time he tried doing something by himself he failed miserably, and how his pathetic goverment and life ended. The things most of us did not heard was the crimes commited by the fascists. When we think of "fascism bad" we think of nazis, imperial japan, francoist spain, even the croatian and romenian fascist goverments, but never italy. Fascist Italy is mostly viewed as an meme, never as the "bad guy". While its funny while it lasts, its also very damaging, as historians are a lot less willing to talk about italy on a serious note. So i ask you big brained chads of lemmygrad, what was the worst stuff italy did during its fascist goverment? On a completelly serious note. No memes.

    This is an very sensitive topic. We all know comrade Mao, he is one of the 5 heads of communism, founder of the PRC, and one of the biggest writers of communist theory to ever exist. But he commited errors, a lot of them, and more expecifically during his last years of governance. We all know the awfull chinese foreign policy towards the majority of other socialist countries, how they supported capitalists and genociders just for the sake of fucking with the USSR. While China was justified at the beggining of the sino-soviet split, it was not justified to create discord with the international socialist movement all around the world. There was also some very bad internall decisions, like the great leap forward and the cultural revolution, that haved good intentions but haved awfull execution, good strategy but bad tactics. Even leaders that where aways friendly towards China like Fidel Castro got extremelly pissed of when China foreign policy during Mao last years started to call almost everyone an revisionary, even Che guevara almost got snapped when he visited China during the cultural revolution. There was also Mao's wife terrible decisions that influenced him a lot, and created tons of problems and instability on China. We need to remember that it was not mao idealistic reforms that made china the superpower it is today, it was deng xiao ping and xi jinping reforms who did. Now i ask to you comrades that know better: what the fuck happened? Why mao did so much bad decisions? Was his age that started messing with his mind? His wife manipulating his decisions? Him losing control of rogue members of the party? Too much idealism for its own good? What happened?

    Does anyone here have some trustfull info on Idi Amin?

    I did watch some videos of his speeches, and i readed some info about him. He apparentelly was an Pan-africanist, friend of multiple arab and third world countries, including Cuba, was anti Israel, and anti-anglo hegemony. And then there is the Genocide that most people relate him with, where he supposedly orchestrated the genocide of over a million Tutsis, Twas and Hulus. I dont believe on literally anything that the western midia says about third world leaders anymore, they acused literally every single one of them that did go against the western hegemony, while at the same time they white washed dozens of cruel dictators they installed themselves on several countries. Does anyone got some trustfull info on Idi and his goverment that proves or disproves this supposedly genocide?
