not to get political but can western communists/anti-imperialists please read a history book before praising the ussr up and down. like JUST from ukrainian history lenin + stalin killed millions of people in a genocide (called Holodomor, literally "death from hunger") via man-made famine. of which there was three in total by the way (years 1921-23, 1932-33 and 1946-47), which no one talks about. i mean we could also talk about the 1944 genocide via deportation of crimean tatars ordered by stalin which displaced AT LEAST 191,044 people, of which by the MINIMUM ESTIMATE 34,300 died in exile. there's so much shit like this. i'm pro-communism and leftist and anti-imperialist but i beg of you read at least read a wikipedia article before talking about the ussr. just because they opposed the us and implemented some communist ideas doesn't mean they were good
