@haircut_hippie I would be okay with this.

@TaskandPurpose Opinion : People who unironically use snowflake when referring to others immediately lose all credibility.

@dwerkopp Racism and communisn have a complicated relationship, but it as an ideology is not pro-racism, but in the wrong hands it can be, a-la Stalin

[Darman @__Masauu__]

@dwerkopp But most other Soviet leader frowned upon racism, even though they may not have been as forceful against it as Lenin was curiously enough

[Darman @__Masauu__]

@dwerkopp It did, especially against people like Germans and the Poles. But it was also largely up to who was in charge. Stalin was antisemitic.

[Darman @__Masauu__]

@dwerkopp Again, I'm not saying the USSR was a land of sunshine and butterflies. It was a brutal and oppressive authoritarian state.

[Darman @__Masauu__]

@dwerkopp I'm not saying no Soviets we're racist, but being racist was not acceptable to party and state mandated thinking and ideology.

[Darman @__Masauu__]

@dwerkopp That there was a government level effort to combat racism is evidence enough of their ideological convictions against racism

[Darman @__Masauu__]

@dwerkopp Soviets often used this anti-racism propaganda as an example of how tolerant their society was in comparison to the JimCrow Era US

[Darman @__Masauu__]

@dwerkopp Another

[Darman @__Masauu__]

@dwerkopp Example of Soviet anti-racism propaganda.

[Darman @__Masauu__]

@dwerkopp The other former communist nations did undergo anti-racism propaganda efforts under Soviet rule, but racism is hard to remove from a culture

[Darman @__Masauu__]

@dwerkopp It used to be way more "communist", but it's more capitalistic in past decades.

[Darman @__Masauu__]

@dwerkopp China is a curious state, because it's really not Communist. It's state controlled capitalism. You can have private property, business, etc.

@AFP This may just be me, but I wouldnt feel comfortable standing next to what looks to be many frail and elderly tourists holding assault rifles

@dwerkopp @TerenceJCarter @allibeth63 @HeerJeet @jehorowitz Communism is anti-nationalist, its based on international worker unity. A racist person claiming to be Communist doesnt understand Communism

[Darman @__Masauu__]

@dwerkopp @TerenceJCarter @allibeth63 @HeerJeet @jehorowitz Im not even a Communist and I still don't get how some people dont understand this.

[Darman @__Masauu__]

@dwerkopp @TerenceJCarter @allibeth63 @HeerJeet @jehorowitz Communism as an ideology is directly opposed to racism. Communists view racism as a tool of elites to divide the masses.
