I do not want to be that leftist who keeps saying things are not "real socialism."

2018-12-29 19:21:01 UTC  

I disagree with Assad on a lot of things, but Syria should have self determinism.

Syria is the last multicultural country left in the Middle East

2018-12-29 19:21:57 UTC  

I heard that Rojava and Assad considered a pact to work together.

2018-12-29 19:22:02 UTC  

After a certain religion caused havoc

2018-12-29 19:22:10 UTC  

That would be incredible. They need it to oppose Turkey.

2018-12-29 19:22:23 UTC  

Aren't the Kurds Turkish?

2018-12-29 19:22:33 UTC  

And rojava supports the Kurds

2018-12-29 19:23:00 UTC  

Kurds are not Turkic. They are some other ethnic group entirely.

2018-12-29 19:23:07 UTC  

And Turkey hates the Kurds to no end.

2018-12-29 19:23:42 UTC  

They are an Iranian Ethnic group.

2018-12-29 19:23:59 UTC  

I used to be better at anthropology, I had to google that lol

2018-12-29 19:24:31 UTC  

But yeah, a stance against Turkey with an Assad/Rojava pact I feel would be best for both sides.

2018-12-29 19:24:44 UTC  

Both sides being Syria and Rojava, not Turkey. Fuck Turkey.

2018-12-29 19:24:55 UTC  

Greece should get constanipole

2018-12-29 19:25:27 UTC  

Would probably boost their economy due to tourism

2018-12-29 19:25:35 UTC  

Which they desperately need

2018-12-29 19:26:01 UTC  

At this point, I don't know if anything would really help Greece.

2018-12-29 19:26:28 UTC  

I agree it would boost their economy, but their problems are numerous and a lot would need to be done to help them.

2018-12-29 19:26:49 UTC  

Like, what should Greece do about their massive drug problem and their growing far-right movement?

2018-12-29 19:27:07 UTC  

Well, okay the second problem should be dealt with y those far-righters getting punched in the face.

2018-12-29 19:27:35 UTC  

Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.

"The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency"

2018-12-29 19:28:17 UTC  

"The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation."

2018-12-29 19:28:21 UTC  

Both from Lenin

2018-12-29 19:28:39 UTC  

Lenin was a cool dude.

2018-12-29 19:28:39 UTC  

Who actually successfully pulled off the biggest revolution of 20th century

2018-12-29 19:30:17 UTC  

Remember how the USA got a shit tonne of Ukrainian fascists

2018-12-29 19:31:32 UTC  

Yup and I am well aware that the famine that took place in Holodomor was
A) Not a man made famine on the part of the Soviets and
B) Does not have a death toll as high as people claim it is

2018-12-29 19:31:45 UTC  

The Famine was going to happen regardless of what system was in place at the time.

History Shows 'Yanukovych Was Right to Oppose EU Association Deal'
Remarkably, the roots of the "Holodomor" ("deliberate starvation") myth lie in the longstanding Cold War standoff between Soviet Russia and the West. After the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, infamous Nazi collaborators — members of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and their paramilitary UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) units — fled into Western Europe and the United States, escaping punishment for their hideous crimes, including ruthless terror against peaceful Jewish, Ukrainian and Russian civilians.
In 1949 the CIA and the US State Department sponsored the OUN-UPA leaders' immigration to the United States, planning to use them as subversion groups and intelligence agents in the Cold War against Soviet Russia.

One of them, Mykola Lebed was characterized as "a well-known sadist and collaborator of the Germans" by the CIA, according to Swedish-American historian Dr. Per Anders Rudling in his book "The OUN, the UPA and the Holocaust: A Study in the Manufacturing of Historical Myths." However, this fact had not prevented the CIA from recruiting the former Nazi collaborator.

The great depression and all that.

2018-12-29 19:32:05 UTC  

I got a better one, remember when the USA funded Osama Bin Laden?

2018-12-29 19:32:07 UTC  

The Great Depression didn't affect ussr though

2018-12-29 19:32:21 UTC  

Only affected capitalist countries

2018-12-29 19:32:35 UTC  

However, Ukraine was going through a period of industrialisation

2018-12-29 19:32:57 UTC  

Industrialisation in that amount of time before World War Two is a ver tough process

"Mykola Lebed [who was responsible for the murder of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia] lived in Queens, New York, until the 1990s, totally supported by the CIA or State Department," the US expert in Soviet history Professor Grover Carr Furr of Montclair State University, narrated in an interview with Sputnik in May, 2015.
