OBJECTION!

For one reason part of the massive losses were Soviet Military tactics of meatwaves (which Russia still uses today) during WWII.

Is that the technical term? I’m guessing your source for that is Enemy at the Gates lmao.

Soviet military tactics in WWII were quite innovative and effective. The Soviets developed the military category of “Operations,” in between the levels of the strategic and the tactical. Soviet operations focused on breaching the enemy line in order to deal as much damage as possible to the support crew, then evaluating whether the position could be held and frequently withdrawing before reinforcements could arrive. This was reflective of communist ideology, which emphasized the importance of unglamorous work, and therefore, targeted the unglamorous work of the enemy during wartime.

This was in stark contrast to their adversaries, who held the exact opposite ideology act acted accordingly. The Nazis were obsessed with proving their superiority at every turn, and also terrified of disappointing their superiors. The Soviet approach of tactically retreating after a successful breach would’ve been unthinkable and ridiculed (and punished) as weak and cowardly. The Nazis had little formal doctrine and their military reports were generally full of lies and fluff to impress their superiors, while the Soviets took a much more rigorous and almost scientific approach.

The heroic efforts of the Soviets were the primary reason the world was saved from fascism, and it is absolutely absurd to lay the blame for the men, women, and children who were killed - including the brutal, indiscriminate mass slaughter and burning alive of civilians - at the feet of the people who put the perpetrators in their graves.

Take this crybully shit back to Reddit, lib. It’s super fucked up for you to place “lib” on the same level of actually offensive shit and try to play the victim like this.

Spare me the condesencion, lib.

Lmao. Guess we better update the slur filter to remove all instances of the word “lib.” Sorry, am I allowed to say it in quotes like that, or is it too offensive? I wouldn’t want to offend your delicate lib sensibilities.

Hate speech? Is “lib” a slur now? Are liberals a protected class? It’s not “hate speech” it’s just criticism of a political position.

Funny how you don’t say anything about what that post is actually about - it’s about redditors excusing Kamala’s support for Israel. They aren’t kind to you if you defend the mass slaughter of civilians, no.

It seems to me that showing equal kindness to oppressor and oppressed would be supporting the oppressor.

Transphobia is when you disagree with a liberal about anything, regardless of how much you support and respect trans people, apparently.

“Tankie” is a derogatory term for Marxist-Leninists. We support AES or “actually existing socialist” states, in contrast to left idealists who support every revolution except the ones that actually succeed, which can always be imagined as perfect because they never had to confront practical reality. We’re known for our opposition to war (except class war) and belief in multipolarity, which is the idea that one nation shouldn’t be the lone superpower with hegemony around the world, and we treat the media with reasonable skepticism when it tries to tell us who to hate - ironically, these traits cause us to be characterized as militaristic, authoritarian, and blindly gullible.

People who have never read any communist theory beyond the Manifesto (if that) don’t think we’re real communists because they have no idea what they’re talking about.
