      Do you know what Stalin did with all the war heroes when they got back from war? Killed the fucking lot because he was scared they’d revolt.

      Churchill’s actions no doubt had negative effects, but the net effect was good.

        I don’t care what Stalin did, I’m talking about Churchill and his brutal massacre of the Greek Partisans that had literally just played a pivotal role in defeating the Nazis on the isles.

        They were not a threat to Britain at all. They were allies, they were part of the allied forces as well as literal allies in battle, but “communism bad” so gotta gun them down in the streets.

          Churchill didn’t massacre anyone you plank. It was the Greek police. Read your own fucking source.

          And yes, communism is bad, it’s failed in every single country that’s tried it with 10s of millions of deaths.

          As Churchill said, Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others

            Lol you’re right, he didn’t personally pull the trigger so it doesn’t count. Similarly, Stalin only actually put pen to paper so he didn’t kill anyone. Give me a break.

            Bootlicker. I’m not even a communist, but I can admit that massacring the people who literally just defeated the Nazis for you (by opening fire on them in public with women and children present) is a really fucking shitty thing to do. And, just a side note, since apparently it matters to you, the Soviets were literally our allies at that time. Dude couldn’t even wait until the war was over to start slaughtering communists.

            If you really can’t admit that this was a fucked up thing to do, then you’re a piece of shit. Simple as that.

              Did you even read the source you provided? The Athens police shot the protestors.

              Bootlicker

              When you resort to ad hominems, you have lost the debate. But I’m more than happy to trade insults, it’s good fun! You are a tankard. A retarded tanky.

              You realise that communism had been going on for quite a while by then, and was clearly authoritarian. Russia turned authoritarian literally within hours of the revolution

              Go learn some history

                You keep talking to me like I’m defending communism. We’re not talking about that. I am not a communist.

                I’m convinced that you didn’t read the article past maybe the first paragraph if you truly believe that the Athens police are responsible for the massacre. But sure buddy, whatever you need to tell yourself.

                You are a bootlicker, plain and simple. Don’t care that its ad hominem. You clearly are incapable of criticizing someone with a such a dirty past as Winston Churchill, and I can’t for the life of me figure out why. You don’t have to fucking forsake your homeland or become a goddamn communist to say “yeah, maybe he shouldn’t have done that”.

                But no, you’re just a gross human being.

                  You don’t understand anything about geopolitics or history. You present an opinion piece from the guardian as some proof of something

                  You have a lot to learn.
