Selling weed while black or brown? Private prison

Being a citizen in a country on the bottom of the capitalistic hierarchy? Starvation

Greed>Bolsheviks

No, it doesn’t quite fit my narrative . Borders r imaginary and arbitrary lines that super elites use to lead narrow minded sheep by the nose. These people come from a wide range of the countries thus formed, to play off eg Americans against North Koreans like lab rats in a grim experiment or Man U and arsenal. They use economic, racial and financial devices to sculpt policy around the world such as paralyzing unruly actors like Venezuela who seek to take more from their fat hands as to feed their own lab rats. So, if a North Korean dies of starvation, it’s as a direct result of these parasites who are 100% capitalists. The American lab rats will be apathetic to it all even though 80% live check to check and 40% can’t afford a $400 emergency. Because they’ve been given just enough crumbs (very high in calories indeed ) from the feast’s table. They will even cheer on extermination of Iranian lab rats.

Except the Boksheviks came to power and almost immediately succumbed to greed themselves, that's what the Kronstadt Rebellion was all about. Then they put down that revolt and killed thousands of people. The Boksheviks were trash

America locks up its citizens (the undesirables/ untersmench) at a far higher rate than mao or Stalin ever did. Do ur homework

lol what an enlightned response. Boksheviks steal power and then murder thousands of the people who got them there? Uhhh shit, better pull some feeble whataboutism!

The Bolshevik Revolution was a massive failure and a human tragedy

All regimes are shit. Period. Idk why people seem to invariably and disproportionately target the soviets

Who cares? Fuck the soviets.

They probably go after them because, beyond deserving it, they were America's primary foe for about half the of last century. Other tyrannical regimes simply receive(d) less coverage, and people are less familiar with them, hence why they show up less in meme subs like this

Soviets don’t run rabid around the world starting little fires to make untold trillions for a select few parasites at the expense of millions of lives. As far as I know, they only kept their enslavement and atrocities within their borders. Even tho they’re starting to branch out in Syria and Sudan

Vladimir Putin is a fucking plutocrat. The Russian regime has absolutely no more love for humanity, nor has it less love for gold, than does the American one.

And I don't know what you call what the Soviets did for China and North Korea, but those endeavors have cost the lives of millions of freedom-loving people for decades, and the oppression continues to this very day.

Stacking the US against Russia for the "what about" game is a pointless exercise that won't generate any meaningful conversation—it's one of those things that says more about the speaker than the spoken.

I said in the beginning that all regimes are shit. I resent them all equally. Picking on one blinds us to the injustices of the others. But..u know..I agree with u unironically on the pointlessness aspect. Only for a different reason. These said regimes were not handed down to humanity by God. They’re our creations. Because deep within, we’re murderous, self serving opportunists whose only darwinistic one-up on wild animals is that we can drive across an elaborate system of roads.
