The Soviet union was absolutely in a position of higher moral authority having been the champion of actual tangible human rights. Learn some history so as not make a clown of yourself in public. The Soviet Union was a leader in human rights, particularly in advancing women’s liberation and supporting decolonial movements. The USSR set significant precedents for progressive social policies.
Here are just a few examples. The USSR implemented a system of free education accessible to all citizens, regardless of gender or class. Women were encouraged to participate in politics and professional fields, challenging traditional gender roles. USSR was first to enact policies ensuring equal pay for equal work, provided maternity leave and free childcare, and promoted gender equality and support working families. A comprehensive healthcare system was established, providing free or low-cost medical services to all citizens. The USSR undertook large-scale housing projects to address the post-WWII housing shortage, providing affordable and state-provided housing options for millions of citizens. Pensions, disability benefits, and other social safety nets were introduced to support elderly individuals, those unable to work, and families in need. The government supported cultural activities and arts, ensuring that all citizens had access to cultural events and education, promoting inclusivity and enriching social life. The Soviets actively supported anti-colonial movements and advocated for decolonization, providing assistance to newly independent nations and participating in international human rights efforts.
Sums up why you hold the views you do. You also go on to suggest Communists are equivalent to Nazis, which has roots in Double Genocide Theory and originated as a form of Holocaust trivialization. For more on that, read Blackshirts and Reds.
Ultimately, the Soviets absolutely hold a higher moral standing than the US ever did and its numerous genocides against Vietnamese, Korean, and Cambodian peoples, and its attempted crushing of Cubans, all in the same time. Meanwhile the Soviets played a liberatory role in all of those areas and fought for Palestinian liberation and Algerian liberation.
You tankies are seriously messed up in the brain. It’s quite amazing the amount of patently crazy history rewriting and BS you lot can spew out without flinching.
Hint: saying “you are proof that gulags are necessary” under any circumstances puts you in the same category of despicables as neo-Nazis, and a total waste of oxygen.
I lived in the Soviet Union, and you clearly don’t want to hear what I have to say. It’s pretty clear that the only thing you care to hear is a narrative that supports your biases. You’re very transparent.
The only people I met who lived in the Soviet Union who missed it after its disappearance were military, police, and civil servants. They were treated fairly well. Either you were one of them, or - more likely - you have vivid dreams.
you clearly don’t want to hear what I have to say.
I would tell you but I know how this conversation will probably end: you’re going to tell me I met the wrong people and I have no idea what really went on in the Soviet Union, and I should learn the real history of the USSR and whatever nonsense flies in the face of decades of evidence and Occam’s razor here on Lemmy. So no, sorry, I’m not going with the sealioning.
Idiots advocating murderous concentration camps and wishing people where imprisoned and died in them can be found left and right of the political spectrum. They’re not the same thing, but they have three things in common:
They like dictactorships and things that dictatorships do, whether it’s a fascist of communist dictatorship.
They don’t know history, or cherry-pick what suits their crazy narrative.
They’re nauseating.
And you’re one of them.
The only horseshoe here is the one that obviously hit you in the head when you walked behind the horse and it reared, probably.
The Soviets would have known: it takes one to know one.
Having said that, the message was correct, even though the messenger wasn’t exactly in a position of higher moral authority.

One acronym: GULAG.

Have you ever read a history book that wasn’t assigned to you by your government?
I did better than that: I talked to people who lived in the Soviet Union.
I lived in the Soviet Union, and you clearly don’t want to hear what I have to say. It’s pretty clear that the only thing you care to hear is a narrative that supports your biases. You’re very transparent.
I’m sure you did.
The only people I met who lived in the Soviet Union who missed it after its disappearance were military, police, and civil servants. They were treated fairly well. Either you were one of them, or - more likely - you have vivid dreams.
Indeed I don’t.
Ooh, tell me about that. How did you meet?

Didn’t take long for the horseshoe theory to rear its head. I love how all the dronie bots run on the same script. 🤣

idiots making straw man arguments when they have nothing of value to say
I can tell by your vocabulary that you are british therefore your opinion is worthless.
