    Killing Nazis isn’t bad, allying with them before being betrayed was. Killing Nazis in self-defense isn’t genocide, Holodomor was.

      So by those rules you imply the whole west is genocidal and Nazist?

      • USA: genocide of it’s poor, black and indigenous population (by both violence and forced poverty), anti-immigrant policies, police violence, and support for right-wing coups over the world, with Ukraine being the most notable among the recent ones
      • Canada: genocide of indigenous population, forced castration, support for right-wing coups
      • France: anti-immigrants, support for right-wing coups, exploitation and genocide of Africans
      • Australia: see USA, except for being a direct financial contributor to right-wing coups (but supporting them nonetheless)

      Every western power is genocidal and imperialist, and most crises currently ongoing are way worse than that tired example you gave. Do you just care if the suffering population is white?

      Also, about allying with Nazis: after WW2, who brought home Nazi high officials and gave them positions of power in their own countries again? USA and UK, if you don’t remember.

        Nice aboutism but either way nobody is saying anything, nor is anybody worship, the US or its genocidal practices, or France for that matter, or anyone else… Tankies on the other hand suck Stalin and Mao dick as if these turds did not kill people for sport.

        Why in 21st century do you need a strong alpha daddy with bad history? Why do you need a daddy at all as an adult person?

          When someone brings Holodomor they’re not even trying to understand what they’re even blaming, so out of tiredness, I don’t bring up the fact that the ones who ruined the farms and crops were the rich private landowners who didn’t want their properties to be turned over to the state. Holodomor is a capitalist genocide in what was a communist country.

          Think for a second: why would a country building an army, needing healthy adults, purposely cause a famine?

          Meanwhile every western genocide is about racism, slave-labour and exploitation of the land. Every single one.

          Also, nice fallacies you’re throwing out there, like that ad hominem at the end, truly marvellous.

            Stalin did because he did not like free willing peasants as they were a threat to the regime. Tankie will worship Stalin and won’t acknowledge the atrocity then expects to be taken seriously talking about Nazis or US or France etc…

            Nobody is defended western atrocities, you are here trying to explain away Stalin’s… we have not even gotten to Mao or one of your other beloved daddies.

              That logic about Stalin destroying the farms himself doesn’t even work. The country needed the farms and crops as much as any other country building an army. Are you gonna say next that he ordered the eating of babies and kicking of dogs?

              I’m not Stalinist btw, but history has facts, and landowners who were having their farms taken and wanted to make the communist party’s life harder are a fact. Bourgeoisie will be bourgeoisie no matter which country.

                  Starving families =/= massive landowners. The ones hit by the famine were the families working for the landowners, most of them owned no land at all. If you want to blame someone, blame rich folks being pissy about not being able to exploit families on their farms anymore
