Lemmitor: “What are we, a bunch of Asians?!?!?!”

Don’t forget about WW1 and WW2 :)
Even when people say that, it’s patently false:

Every 3 months there’s a new headline of Bezos selling stock worth billions, and the market doesn’t bat an eye
It’s not about my village, it’s about the particular interests of farmers. Farmers are landowners who profit from selling their prices on their market and employing as cheap labor as possible. They’re, by definition, petit-bourgeois, and therefore have the interests of the petit-bourgeois class in their favour. For example, if minimum wage goes up, profits of farmers go down because they’re employers, not workers.
When exactly did Hu Jintao say that it’s not true that 800 million Chinese have been uplifted from poverty?
Civil war, you mean the Chinese civil war that happened over 70 years ago when China was a peasant kingdom instead of the #1 industrial producer in the world that it is nowadays? You seriously believe that the conditions in China haven’t gotten 2000% better over the past 70 years? For fuck’s sake, life expectancy in China before Mao was less than 30 years of age.
Yes, I don’t simultaneously live in several villages.
I’d like a Mosin Nagant to feel closer to my Spanish antifascist ancestors
Housing, healthcare and food access were solved in USSR, not China. China just saved 800mn people from poverty, clearly horrifying innit?
From your link:
[Stalin said] “The Russian tsars did many bad things. They plundered and enslaved the people. They waged wars and grabbed territory in the interests of the landowners. But they did do one good thing—they created a huge state that stretches all the way to Kamchatka. We have inherited that state. And for the first time we, the Bolsheviks, have brought together and consolidated this state as a single, indivisible state… for the benefit of the workers”
At the Berlin train station on the eve of the Potsdam Conference in 1945, U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union Averell Harriman asked Stalin how it felt.to arrive in the capital of a defeated enemy as a victor. Stalin replied, “Tsar Alexander made it all the way to Paris.”
That is absolutely not a territorial claim, it’s a statement about Russian history. He specifically mentioned the horrors of the tsarist empire, which you will never hear Putin do
I told you I live in a village
Because associated independent preindustrial farms can’t face invasion from industrialized nations. Leaving the farmers in the past would have been the death of them. Remember: the USA, France, Poland, Japan, Greece, Estonia, Romania, Serbia and Italy invaded the RSFSR during the Russian Civil War for the sin of being communist. Stalin famously predicted the Nazi invasion 10 years in advance:
We are 50–100 years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in ten years. Either we do it, or they crush us.
-Stalin, 1931, talking about the industrialization of the Soviet Union.
It’s sad to me that you need to consult the “big book of made-up rules” to argue against Greta being kidnapped by a genocidal colonial state
I literally live in a village. The only protests in my country involving farmers feature the national flag as the main insignia.
What you say of the Russian Empire and the contemporary Russian Republic regarding treatment of the Ukrainians is true, but it’s simply false when it comes to the USSR. The USSR defended Ukrainian sovereignty from the start, creating a Ukrainian republic with Ukrainian as the official language, a majority of publications in Ukrainian, right to an education in Ukrainian, and representation of Ukrainian politicians to the point of the USSR having as party leaders for the most part Ukrainians such as Khruschev or Brezhnev. Had it not been for the Soviets (including Ukrainian themselves), Ukraine would have turned into a genocided German colony in the 1940s according to Generalplan Ost, or at best many of its territories would still belong to Poland such as the city of Lviv.
Can you provide a source for Stalin saying that?
This is literally “great replacement conspiracy theory” applied to Russians… Replace the word “Russians” with “Arabs” or “Muslims” and you’re saying literally the same as European Neofascists
Your point is arguably valid for the industrialized countries, but untrue for the preindustrial ones where hunger still takes place. We could industrialize them, but it’s not profitable, so we don’t.
Have you ever spoken to an actual farmer? They’re liars, reactionaries, many of them much wealthier than your average Joe, immensely racist, hate the state and they’re racist and only survive through subsidies and semi-slave migrant labor.
Hmmm, I wonder if there are any historical examples of countries with universal free education to the highest level that we could take inspiration from…
You’re right, Germany famously doesn’t segregate children by race in schools.
