...And if you disagree, to the gulag with you! πππ
I'm starting to think that your idea of an 'irrefutable fact' just means that someone isn't legally allowed to disagree and if they do, the government gets to dispose of them.
I'm sure Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot would think your ideas are wonderful.
What an... "interesting" way to put words in my mouth, lmao. Gulag incarceration rates were lower than US imprisonment, by the way.
Also, Pol Pot shouldn't be grouped with Marxists, he denounced Marxism and practiced his own thing.
So your reply is "actually, Soviet gulags weren't so bad!"? πππ
Commies gonna be commies...
Feel free to read Russian Justice. They weren't theme parks, but not nearly as bad as you probably think they were, nor at the scale you imply.
No thanks. I don't like commie literature.
I know you don't like history books, you already said you're a libertarian π
And if you had your way, I'd be required to read them or be lined up against a wall and shot dead if I refused.
No? Very silly fanfiction you've got there. I do think in a future Socialist society Marxism-Leninism should be taught in schools, same with history, but the idea that you'd be shot and killed for refusing to do so is laughable.
