Am I the only one who gets bunch of posts from leftist and even communist subs/circlejerks in their feed? It’s kinda weird to see genzedong and similar popping up in hot/rising feed. This just hopefully some of the growing pains of a new platform.

We should always be suspicious when someone starts both-sides’ing Nazis and Communists. Only one side was killing Nazis, after all.

And yet events like the Katyn Massacre come to mind.

Yes, war crimes are bad, but you are a sick puppy, or hopefully just very mistaken, if you think that or any other Soviet atrocities puts the USSR on par with Nazi Germany.

Just because I only referenced on item doesn’t mean there aren’t millions more souls attributable to the USSR. The USSR easily cost more lives in Poland than Hitler/Nazi’s did. Not just because of WW2… but because of the mass murder committed for the next 40 years under USSR rule.

I’m first generation American. My grandfather taught me exactly how it was under Communist rule. I’m far from mistaken and have literally dozens of phone numbers I can call to get a first hand account of it all going all the way back to WW2.
