Or discriminating against gays, or cutting food stamps, or invading Greenland, or storing nuclear secrets in bathrooms, or...

Respecting contracts has nothing to do with billionaires.

American style health insurance is a scam. I pay around 600 euros a month in Germany, for me and two kids, and there's no such thing as "copay". Delivering a baby costed us about 8 euros in parking fees. This is a private company offering insurance, there's no single payer in Germany. Other European and Asian countries do have single payer, with similar costs (the contribution is then a tax instead of insurance payment). It's the American "five yachts per CEO" model that causes problems.

"the public" seems dumb as fuck.

That's right, a child. Adults behave differently, fortunately.

Yes, muscovites just made friends, that's not imperialism. Sakha just wanted to give it's oil and minerals to Moscow. Yakutia just wanted desperately to learn Russian. It's not imperialism if there are no boats involved!

Estonia? Now their GDP per capita is not 20% higher, it's 200% higher than Russia. Yes, triple as high. Obviously Russia was robbing them blind, and holding them back. Same as most other republics and Warsaw pact nations. GDP explosions after ditching the red parasite.

Ukraine had borders just fine when Soviets invaded them. If not for the war they lost against Poland in 1920 they would have kept invading and repressing nations. Belorussian language is almost extinct nowadays after all the russification. Same for Ukrainian in Eastern Ukraine.

French killed 1 million Algerians? Rookie numbers, they should have learned from the holodomor.

Yes, holodomor is western propaganda.

Anti imperialism? How did they become the largest country on earth?

Respect of minorities? Tell that to the tens of thousands of people executed in forests. Or starved to death. Because of their identity.

Industrial development? Yes, current Russia having an economy the size of Italy is a testament to that.

Plenty of countries have free education and Healthcare.

With the slight clarification that communists will redifine oppressors at their will, making them effectively the same in practice.

  • You are a worker that doesn't support the movement? Class traitor, gulag.

  • You made a joke about dear leader? Traitor, gulag.

  • You would like free elections? Foreign agent, gulag.
