I think people mainly glorify it because the Soviet union to some extent proved for the first time that left wing policies can work. The Soviet Union was the blueprint and we can learn to be better from the failures they had

And those same ppl often ignore the fact that they committed genocide. We can’t learn from it if we don’t acknowledge it.

It was a symbol originating from the Russian Revolution, and was used as the flag of the Soviet Union. It makes sense that it’s still very tied to the Soviet Union in the minds of most people

OP reacted to the post as if using the symbol in any sense was equivalent to romanticizing the Soviet Union. it’s not.

well then it’s a good thing someone set them straight without commenting on whether or not their misconception was understandable, huh 👍

I wasn’t arguing with you? I’m not sure why you’re responding like this? I was adding onto your comment, and explaining why the OP probably made that mistake

it definitely came across like you were trying to argue with something I hadn’t said. but even with that not being your intent, I just don’t think anyone needs it explained to them that the hammer and sickle is Often associated In Part with Soviet history. that’s redundant (especially when no one was actively trying to dunk on OP for not knowing better), and when you needlessly explain the obvious to another person without being prompted, that has a tendency to sound like condescension

I will never apologize for the world’s first workers’ state, which defeated the nazis and sponsored anti-imperialist movements worldwide. Even today it strikes fear into the hearts of capitalists and oligarchs.

Meanwhile, tens of millions of people starve to death each year in colonialist puppet states that are controlled by Western Hegemony. And yall liberals are silent because you benefit from western hegemony

You guys make up slander against any gov that meaningfully opposes western imperialism, a system that oppresses billions of people for the benefit of westerners, and which you, coincidentally, benefit from

Agree or disagree: as a citizen of the imperial core, you benefit from discrediting communism? You have a vested financial interest to discredit communism.

Do you think Hamas beheaded 100 babies? Do you think Black slave rebellions happened because African men became uncontrollably lustful for white women? Or are those just lies, spread by the oppressors, to discredit those who challenge their rule?

No, we said we can’t use countries like the USSR or China as a model for excellence with regard to the atrocities they have committed. This is a stupid argument because no one is arguing the United States is good. In fact, you’re the only person who brought up the West.

China is good. You choose to believe they committed atrocities because you’ve been brainwashed and it benefits you to spread it.

China’s main economic policy is literally mercantilist slave labor. They give out loans to poorer countries for critical infrastructure, and when they default, they seek repetitions in other ways.

You realize that just because something opposes a terrible thing doesn’t mean it’s incapable of being flawed itself right? And disrespecting victims of a genocide doesn’t do anything to solve any of the problems you claim to care about

Historically, China did this in many countries. You can blame developing countries all you want, but the fact is that they won’t be sufficiently organized. They repeated this pattern in multiple countries, and it cannot be argued that they weren’t aware that asset seizure was the most likely outcome when they brokered these loans

you quote-posted a lighthearted pro-communism shitpost just to disingenuously frame it as “glorifying the Soviet Union”. regardless of your individual political beliefs, you absolutely did post anti-communist rhetoric
