I know these things

I used to be a communist myself

These countries had communist parties in control, which end goal was to reach communism and wither away the state, the threat of imperialism made it not such

The Soviet Union wasn’t imperialist at all huh? Afghanistan deserved it am I right?

You'd call that imperialism?

Helping revolutions by the afghani people against their shit government imperialism?

I’d call it a senseless invasion

All those Mujahideen fighters that wanted communism so much...

You mean terrorists that the USA is currently fighting?

And it was a highly religious country. Why would they advocate for communism?

In which they armed and they used the weapons against them 😂

Have you heard of feudal socialism?

The Mujahideen was a group that was intended to free Afghanistan from Soviet occupation

Similar to communists partisans

In ww2

And I can't really defend the ussr after stalin, considering the party was purged of communists and filled with technocrats, idealists and other revisionists

And there's a Naxalite Insurgency in India fighting against their government, what's your point?

As well as communist uprisings including the "red scare" in the west

India wasn’t occupied with Soviet troops was it?

Afghanistan was

Therefore it was logical to drive out communist invaders

And many small groups in countries in the Middle East are fighting against American occupation

Therefore it's logical to drive out western invaders

Yes

It is

America should never have invaded Iraq

I don’t blame Iraqis for fighting back

As well as Libya

And Syria

And most countries with oil

And now to make up an excuse to invade the country with the most amount of oil in the world... Venezuela

I watched the video, but the problem is that the Soviets invaded and destroyed a functional government

"Functional"

They can’t say, they are right when there is no new government to replace it

They destroyed the government in the first place

They were attempting to replace the government

I don't know enough on the topic to properly explain it

With a puppet government I presume.....

Anyway, what are your thoughts on Gaddafi in Libya, as well as the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party – Syria Region (Assad)
