The other traits and our autonomy.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What "other traits?" If you're not going to clarify, it just sounds like racism.

Mostly dictatorship. I have no problems with russian people.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 11 points 5 days ago

The RSFSR wasn't a dictatorship, though, and there's no reason to think they would be if Russia returned to socialism. Your comment just reads that Russians have a natural, inherent tendency towards dictatorships outside of connection to the mode of production they are in, which is why it sounds racist.

our autonomy to gleefully assist in the holocaust? their strange trait of making us stop gleefully assisting in the holocaust? you're gonna have to be less cryptic here.

I was talking about a hypothetical scenario in which Russia became socialist again. I could use our autonomy for useful things.

oh sure, we could, but does it look like we're going to any day soon?
