    And thats what I meant.

    Respect means you acknowledge my arguments. Just backing off on the insults a bit (but not fully) isnt cutting it. Respectful discussion is addressing people’s arguments as well as not insulting them or their intelligence.

    I will definitely take the time and check things that are brought forward. Saying “just because shit was bad back then means exactly that, not that the system it was in was shit.” isnt the same as sticking fingers in ones ears and singing lalala. Doing as if that were the case is just abusive rhetoric.

    Because shit is horrendous today as well: Fentanyl hordes, people freezing to death on the streets, protesters shot, people deported to concentration camps, genocide, media spewing propaganda, most of the population living paycheck to paycheck, guantanamo. Most of the examples are US but the EU is only marginally different and catching up fast.

    There is no such thing as a perfect system. Gulags alone are no sole cause for dismissal same as guantanamo is.

    Here’s a video about the reason why people hate socialism so much https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mhYS59egWQc

      I don’t acknowledge your arguments because the boil down to whataboutism, “it was a long time ago” and other fallacies.

      Then you goalpoast-move and try to say I don’t like socialism lol. If you think the USSR was socialist I have a bridge to sell you.

      BTW what bout you acknowledge my arguments? Based on historical facts? Nah guess you doesn’t like what you’d read.

      URSS was an authororian crap “union” and Russia is trying to become as bad, hopefully Russian will go the same way and be dismantled ASAP so their citisens can finally live in a free country.

      Also Europe is on the brink of collapse or something? ROFL I live here. But you don’t seems to be interested in facts.

        Yeah, I didnt think you would be able to defend against any of it.

        But since you’re still being condescending, this conversation is now over.

        I will check the stuff you mentioned because, unlike you, I have no issue with being corrected.

        Good luck with your attitude mate.
