It's crazy that the absolute lowest mortality rate the empire ever managed was still like double the Soviet Union's mortality rate during the middle of WW2.

Delusions of grandeur about the people who ended the Holocaust is wild coming from the petty tyrant of a reddit knockoff that they named after themselves.
Being so ideologically rigid that you'd let children starve to avoid "state authoritarian bureaucracy" is not actually something to be proud of, lib
"A type of economic success achieved multiple times under "the tankies" and under literally nobody else would definitely have been achieved under the liberal government that the October revolution overthrew" is too farfetched and historically unfounded to even make a good historical fiction what if novel.
You looked at a chart that outlined improvements in quality of life that included a boom in agricultural output, aka, literally feeding the children and called it
The Marxist equivalent of "but the GDP..."
That is in fact very obviously true. If they hadn't developed their economy far faster than any other society in history, they couldn't possibly have produced enough food and war materiel to defeat the Nazis, which I hope we can agree was an extremely important thing for the Soviets to be able to do.
: The revolution that feeds the children gets my support.
You, apparently: fuck those kids
Thats what I get for trying to use ML terms with an ML, I suppose.
Two faced dishonest hypocrite.
Note: this isn't an ad hominem because I'm not trying to dismiss an idea here, just point out that you're a contemptible person
Which other genocidal anti-communist, anti-anarchist authors do you suggest have "some good ideas?"
I'm not trying to foster left unity with you, because frankly to consider you an anarchist would be such rank anti-anarchist sectarianism that Hexbear mods would be correct to permaban me. You're a liberal.
Btw, I think that accusing anarcho-communists of having an ideology that inevitably leads to ecocide is pretty sectarian also (or again, maybe not sectarian. It's not sectarian for a liberal [you] to be anti-anarchist, just shitty), and you haven't engaged with this point but you're posting ziq's articles and this is one of their states positions so that's something you need to deal with for yourself.
You called Marxism a religion before my comment, which was about your initial ad hominem comparison to religion, and frankly suggesting that the ideologies that you are opposed to are the ones the US government wants you to oppose is an objective fact.
In constantly calling all your interlocutors cultists, you're making it pretty hard to see anyone else as the bad faith adhom abusers here
