@Abel

You are here too?

😮

stop stalking me bro

I mean...

it's not really a stretch for these capitalist nations to ask for a company to stop selling communist-based products

<:GWfroggyPepoSmug:398570232647647242>

especially when people have had their lives completely fucked over by communism.

and how much damage it's done to the world.

It symbolizes a destructive, corrupt nation that was ruled under the iron fist of a cruel, authoritarian leader?

to them it's worse then the equivilent of selling white hoods and torches, communists committed genocides out in the eastern bloc

pretty much.

look at what they did to romania for example with their manafactured famine and work camps

@Mimi I mean, if it offends them so much they're literally shaking right now, sure

really, amazon selling communist gear in eastern europe is like selling nazi outfits in isreal

Coming from a country that's likely suffered most from the communists (in absolute numbers), can't really see the comparison

FWIW there are and have been real right wing death squads in recent memory.

in countries with long standing falls from order.

ironically, if you fail to maintain order, somebody will usually step up to do it for you

and it probably won't be the kind you like

@Zeppelin romania for example had forced labor camps (essentially concentration camps) and created famines. Millions died as a result of a mix of overwork, hunger and soviet brutality.

Obama did say to vote early and vote often ,....

@Termer The barcodes are not the same

@Misomania No shit, the entirety of USSR had all of these things

Ima vote erryday!!

@Zeppelin there was no real difference between the ussr and the nazis really is what I was saying. They are mirror images to each other

Well, the USSR managed to get more done, by being more passive aggressive.

russia was found guilty by the hague recently of murdering and mass burying entire villages that they 'liberated' from the nazis for example

The USSR is the damsel, and the Nazis are the brute.

Discord is a bad influence on me rn

Eh, I'd say one managed most of its dirt inside the country, while the other was focused on "cleansing" things outside of their own borders. That's about sums up the difference

Also, I'd appreciate a link @Misomania

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/nov/26/russian-parliament-guilt-katyn-massacre here is one of them

isn't there a movie where Hitler is depicted in hell dressed as a _sexy French maid_ and has a pineapple shoved up his ass?
