We’re letting innocents die because of a dictatorship

They absolutely wouldn't have

Pretty fucking scummy

Containment was a necessary policy

A Dictatorship that the people of that country whether that be the electorate or the army allowed to happen

Either way it's their fault

So let them deal with it

Pretty sure the Soviets put them in power

A dictatorship which is a threat to us

^

Imagine if the USSR had the combined resources of Asia and Latin America.

you just don't let the enemy expand the area from which they can launch missiles and aircraft

It just isn't a threat to all of us, We should stop trying to force our ideology of Democracy and Capitalism down other countries throats

Irreconcilable ideologies cannot coexist

Marxism does not tolerate the existence of Liberalism.

How illiterate are you? Spreading communism to the whole world was literally the soviet doctrine.

Then let them try to do that

You can not care about them, but they certainly cared about the US

Liberalism therefore cannot tolerate the existence of Marxism

It doesn't give us the right to do the same

They had no right to do what they were doing in the first place

@leavethisbotnet And i don't think it was their doctrine actually because Stalin adopted a policy of Socialism in One State

>the USSR was all too keen to go to war https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Blockade

I suppose we should have just let them starve?

And yet Stalin was still pushing the expansion of Marxism-Leninism

It was their policy. _Explicitly_ so.

on paper

So?

you just claimed that it wasn't

Is your argument that because they were forcing their ideology on other countries we should just do the same?

And also where was it their policy?

Socialism in one country was about not getting rid of the idea of countries.

“So?” “Where was it their policy?” <:thunk:462282216467333140>

If a robber is making his way into your house, you have the full right to stop him.

that's my argument

and SSSR was doing just that

We should have nuked China like McArthur said we should TBH

or, at least they explicitly stated that that's their goal

If a robber is breaking into someone else's house, you're within your right to stop him

Stalin believed in Marx's prediction that Socialism is the natural evolution of Capitalism and thus that all Capitalist countries would inevitably become Socialist countries which is why he did not believe it should be forced as much as Trotsky did
