While excesses have been committed in socialist countries, they absolutely pale in comparison to the atrocities committed for capitalism and colonialism. I won’t weap for landlords, capitalists, and fascists that were killed or imprisoned for their crimes against the working classes, and I will celebrate the immense gains made by the working classes after successfully gaining political power. Everywhere the working classes have taken power, life expectancies, literacy rates, housing rates, and more have all dramatically climbed, while food insecurity and poverty dramatically declined. Every single time. The sheer effectiveness of socialism in uplifting the people is undeniable, and while it’s unfortunate that this can only be successfully established via revolutionary and therefore violent means, this violence is a response to the daily brutalization of the working classes

they absolutely pale in comparison to the atrocities committed for capitalism and colonialism Colonialism is colonialism. No matter the color. I won’t weep for landlords, capitalists Then weep for the workers who were denied education because they refused Leninism. Weep for those who has been sent to work in the uranium mines. Weep for those persecuted for their faith. Weep for those who has been put to a fucking jail for watching a Knight Rider on TV. working classes after successfully gaining political power What you call a working class has never achieved political power. Only the chosen faithful families could ever get anywhere near the office desk, not even mentioning a political function. Without pledging you allegiance to a one of the worst dictators who ever lived, you were not even considered. The sheer effectiveness of socialism in uplifting the people Yes. The toilet paper outages and bribes for the butcher so you can skip the line were certainly very uplifting. it’s unfortunate that this can only be successfully established via revolutionary and therefore violent means And here we are. You’re openly advocating for death and destruction to follow some kind of a fairy-tale. You’re no better than an american soldiers leveling a primary school to the ground, or a russian soldier executing civilians in Butcha. daily brutalization of the working classes Open your fucking eyes. You can no longer see the real wold for the veil of victimization you have put upon yourself. There is no class. And most importantly, stop scheming about some great revolution and CREATE the means of production!
