    Lol you’re right, he didn’t personally pull the trigger so it doesn’t count.

    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.

          It’s kind of disrespectful that you’re not only being incredibly patronizing, but you clearly have not even read the article.

            Again, lol, from your source. Try reading it yourself!

            Then last month, a leading historian quoted in the piece, André Gerolymatos, held a conference in British Columbia on the issue, inviting one of the co-authors of the piece and some of the academics who had protested to the paper. When it was over, he sent me his analysis, based, he said, on British and American archival sources as well as memoirs and secondary accounts.

            He wrote: “Did the British open fire on the demonstrators on 3 December 1944? The answer is no
