Exactly. That is the difference between those kids and the Soviet Union. The Soviet union had principles, and eventually they noticed Communism was not working and decided to quit.
@Kane
What is “true socialism/communism” then?
These people have no principles, they run on emotions and little to no logic. Because “logic” is all subjective to them.
All they see is the surface material “FREE STUFF!” and not the bigger picture of things.
Nothing in life is free, costs have to come from somewhere.
@Kane
Send them all to Cuba, North Korea, or Venezuela.
Away from everything they take for granted that makes them comfortable that are provided to them via capitalist sources.
I’d like to see how much easier it is for them to go through life with constant coffee shortages and shortages of pretty much everything.
@raakamagna
Well, as much as it would suck I believe that these kids that so desperately want communism will only learn how terrible it is if they actually experience it themselves.
Regardless, despite my disagreements with their ideology.
I still admire the resilience of the Soviet people and had a fascination of their culture.
I’ll admit that the USSR did make some great contributions to the world mostly science wise, some elements were cool, others outright weird and hilarious.
@raakamagna
Perhaps liberals were more friendlier back in the day when they weren’t as drunk on political correctness. I still hold some classical liberal ideals.
@Kane
Still, they weren’t all rapists nor murderers. Most of them who died died for their country and were forced to fight, their sacrifices should be respected like with any fallen soldiers regardless of which side they served.
@Kane
Damn. That is horrible. Heck, even though I have violent tendencies and consider violence in retaliation to be reasonable, the idea of murdering billions to achieve world peace is simply insane and monstrous. Violence should never be enacted unless as response to violence, and even then it must not be taken lightly.
@raakamagna
I also had extreme hatred towards the United States. It was my dream to live in the Soviet Union or any communist country. I even tried to justify the Red Army’s mass rape and murder of Millions of women and children across Eastern Europe during WW2 by saying “well there were a few hundred or thousand Western troops that raped French women”
@raakamagna
The radical/militant atheism within Communism (or any militant atheist really) was also a factor that drove me away from it. They actually believe that systematically murdering Billions is the way to achieve world peace. Then they try to use the evils committed by the religious “Christian” fanatics of the Middle ages as a justification.
Radical centrism is the ideal political outlook.
@Kane the Wimged Hussar
Bruh. That only work if you’re not Jewish.
The right way to act.
I also highly doubt that they would support a violent ideology such as communism in Equestria

Agreed…
orthodoxes think stalin was a saint and drew a icon of him.

The monster that we are dealing with can mostly be described as ‘Postmodernism’
But even then I am willing to bet they will play the “Their socialism/communism isn’t True socialism/communism” card

Yep. They think they will be flagbearers, but they will be farmers and ass wipers.

Yep. They are different to the kids in this pic. Especially because the USSR was not as inconsistent.

Don’t get me wrong, I still respect the bravery of Soviet troops during WW2.
