    What you still don’t understand?

    I don’t give a fuck that their factories never stopped, which they built on the bones of my ancestors, enslaving my brothers and sisters.

    All they brought was suffering. They should have stayed in russia and enjoyed their empty life where human life was nothing more than tiny gear in an engine that’s only a drive is to churn out more useless shit. No soul. No love. Nothing sacred. No creativity.

    Our culture was, and still is rich. With a deep, sacred attitude and bright vision. And will keep evolving that way, because we are free people.

    Go plant a tree. Be a fucking badass, edgiest of them all, and improve the ecosystem. That is the only system that matters for all of us.

      Your ancestors were not enslaved, and you seem to have a deeply racist view towards Russians and the other soviet peoples. Socialism uplifted hundreds of millions, it was Tsarism where Russians had empty lives and were ground to dust for profit, profit for kulaks, landlords, aristocrats, and the bourgeoisie. The peasants and industrial workers overthrew the kulaks, aristocracy, landlords, and bourgeoisie precisely because they lived in such misery.

      Counter to what you believe, the arts flourished. Soviet cinema was beautiful, and unlike in the west, was not subject to the same profit pressures and thus directors had more freedom. In paintings, the soviets centered the working classes and a beautiful, hopeful picture for the future:

      I agree that environmentalism is badass, but we shouldn’t be ecofascists. Ecology requires deliberate, scientific planning of production and distribution, which is only compatible with socialism and communism. Greenwashing and capitalism will never be able to solve the climate crisis.

        First of all Russians are not a race. Second, I don’t talk about russian people, I have plenty of russian friends who are not retarded and can see that cccp was inhuman and oppressive system. It did the same damage to russians too.

        Go travel, talk to people.

        Find joy in life. If you feel like defending genocidal dictatorship, I can tell you - life is a miracle, enjoy it. Hug your grandmother. Plant a tree.

          There are several ethnicities in Russia, and many more were in the soviet union. You’re erasing the fact that the brutal system you called “beautiful,” the kulak system of farming, was so monstrous that the peasantry aligned with industrial workers to overthrow it. This requires dehumanizing them and their struggle. I do have joy in life. I fight for socialism, and a better world in general. Not sure what you’re trying to do here.

      The soviets brought one of the greatest increases in quality of life in recorded history for millions of people, your kulak kin threw a fit about being asked to help make that happen and got what they deserved
