    Most supporters of soviet imperialism are angsty teens from countries that were always safe from it. Few people from eastern Europe are fans of the soviet empire for some reason.

        The people who think “victims of communism” means nazis. It usually means people who were deported for not supporting the party after being conquered, so equating the term with nazis (who lost to capitalists as much as communists), is meant to ridicule the victims of soviet imperialism.

          The post is quite literally about a victims of communism memorial that had to be taken down because it was mostly Nazis. Do you read posts before you comment?

            ?

            That memorial was a Canadian one, they never had to deal with communism there. Read the comment I replied to. It’s comparing the people of the Baltics to those nazis. People who actually suffered under soviet rule.

              Doesn’t really change the fact that you are commenting on a post where it is explicitly about a “victims of communism” memorial and it turns out the best they could do was a bunch of Nazis which sort of flies in the face of your whitewashing attempt in your comment don’t you think?

              Also victims of communism is a ridiculous framing but that’s more of a tangent.

                Yes, it should be victims of soviet imperialism but it’s really a distinction without a difference in eastern Europe.

                And you’re somehow still not getting that the original comment was equating those nazis with people being deported from their homes for having the wrong political opinions. No wonder mls are all considered tankies. Y’all love genocidal dictatorships. Bye.
