    Last I checked, Epstein also ended up dying prematurely, while Stalin continued to be untouchable (who btw. married a 14 year old).

    Thank you for providing us with an concrete example of all states being the the same shit.

    Edit: Ok, apparently Stalin’s second wife was 18 when they married (he was 40 at the time). Sounds like he waited until it was formally legal to do so…

      So a nothingburger. It is absolutely unacceptable by today’s standard for me and many more, not all since in Mexico it’s still fairly common, but Stalin did it in the early 20th century in an especially underdeveloped region, the fact that he “waited” is already a progressive stance for his epoch. Also there is an abyss of difference between marrying a young girl than having a collection or harem of girls to rape whenever one feels like.

      You’ve been so blackpilled by capitalist realism that you think it makes you enlightened. It’s a form of self-reinforcing learned helplessness.

      Epstein was just a harem manager for the rich fucks who continue to run around completely unaccountable. Meanwhile, others already pointed out your attempts to spread misinformation here. I guess carrying water for the empire by trying to do the whole both sides bad is really the core identity for anarchists.

      Stalin’s first wife, Ekaterina Svanidze, was 21 years old when they married in 1906. His second wife, Nadezhda Alliluyeva, was 18 years old at the time of their marriage in 1919.

      More Montefiore nonsense no doubt.

        Ok, I stand corrected about Stalin not being a totally upstanding person of 40 years old when he married his second wife that just barely turned 18 🙄

          This is just silly. Keep moving the goalposts further and further from the founding, child-raping slavers.

                    Because you can look into the future and were not completely wrong when you proudly proclaimed that Russia will never attack Ukraine here on Lemmy just days before they did so? 🤡

          Yet still not a pedophile as you were trying to say. Almost like you have an agenda you really want to push. One that really coincides with that of the Epstein alliance.

            Most of the victims of Epstein were also around 18 years old.

            Almost like you are coming to the defense of convicted rapists like Beria.

              We don’t know that their is no released statistics or anything showing that. You just believe that.

              Pointing out Montefiore is a rabid anti-communist who lied about the alleged main source of info for his book (that he had personal access to unreleased soviet archives) and was best friends with Ghislaine Maxwell is not defending anyone.

                So the the official conviction by Soviet authorities and later execution of him was all made up? /s

                Which btw, only happened after Stalin’s death…

                  He was executed for treason, terrorism and counter revolutionary activity? And again because it seems really hard for you to understand I didn’t defend him at all I just pointed out Montefiore is a rabid anti-communist who lied about the alleged source for his book and was beat friends with Ghislaine Maxwell.

      zionist montefiore probably has a totally nuanced perspective to write a biography about stalin, no doubt!
