How were these any different?
I’m not saying that what the Soviet Union did was justified and I’m critical of Tankies who do but how were these acts any different. And how come nobody criticized capitalism as an economic system by these events don’t have anything to do with economics, and why don’t people compare these events to the holocaust even though they never matched the same scale and systemization, and where is the Victims of Capitalism Memorial Foundation?
1 post omitted.Not to sound like a Thirst Worldist but in my experience most Westerners just see themselves as the good guys by default. I once brought up the Japanese-American concentration camps in response to someone criticizing Castro's treatment of gays and the response was more or less "well what we did was wrong but understandable". The West is always at worst a good guy led temporarily astray and you can see this attitude in play today.
>>716923That’s true, what do these people even give a shit about gay people anyways, if you were to mention that Castro apologized and and that Cuba is now one of the most LGBT friendly countries on the planet they say “Oh yeah but that’s Woke!” Your damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

The US internment of Japanese-Americans was ended after the war, while the deportation of Crimean Tatars was intended to be permanent and only ended under Gorbachev.
1. It WAS justified though.
2. Holodomor was the result of a natural disaster and not racial animus where the state wouldn't supply a chunk of population with food because they were seen as yucky and inhuman.
3. Crimean Tatars had a shitload of collaborators and quislings, as did a number of other ethnicities.
4. It wasn't just Ukrainian SSR that was hit by famine, but Kazakh SSR and chunks of RSFSR too, but something tells me you don't know about that because those people aren't huwhite and Yropeon enough therefore they don't matter.
5. Porkies brainwash everyone into thinking it's never their fault, that's why nobody connects the dots between capitalism and all the atrocities done by capitalist states.
6. Interning Japanese diaspora was justified though because the vast majority were legitimately more loyal to Japan than US.
