Yes, that’s even better

Thank you, Comerade. I will look them up at work today.

There should be a game on the back - find hidden fascist insignia in the picture or something like that 😆

– I just found out that someone posted similar idea in a different post before me. I guess it’s just too obvious.

Whaaaaaaaaat

I would really appreciate some resources on Canada involvement in Tibet/Uyghur topics, too

there is the trinity in chritianity, and there is duality in zelenskianity" lol

martyr Zelensky ascended to divinity

Made me think of this

I find this heartbreaking and remember shedding a few tears when I found out, which strangely didn’t happen for any celebrity, musician or a public figure.

I feel respect and personal gratitude for this man’s work and I would really like to have him around in a good health. I just hope he gets proper care and it would be nice to know if the family needs any financial support, I’m sure many people would like to help if that’s the case.

He surely has, “Blackshirts and Reds” really got me thinking back in the days.

“As if the world is upside down” really sounds similar to what a Palistinian once told me about people supporting Israel instead of Palestine.

This shit reminds me of the manager in a store I worked for in the past who bragged about chasing and physically assaulting a homeless man for stealing some bread rolls which usually got thrown away after the shift anyway. The fuck was so proud of himself like he did something good for society and said that “he could have found a job instead of stealing”.

It was so disgusting that you could not drag me to that place now even by force, man.

Liberal research lol

Holy shit, they seriously use word “tankie” in a fucking research paper?

You can’t make this shit up. I mean, they made this up, but… 😆

If you disagree with this you can get prosecuted by The Institute of National Remembrance – Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation which should be named something like The institute of making up history and fighting communism or something.

Right? Funding media is one thing and using state/academic authority to alter history is a whole another level of crime. I borrowed the book from my sister to transcribe the chapter about USSR, I might share it as a curiosity later this week.

There are few fragments straight from the official history textbook for secondary school in Poland:

After Lenin’s death and against his will, [Stalin] became General Secretary of the party. During his reign he eliminated all his political opponents and implemented in the country industrialization and collectivization. These measures, together with widespread terror policy caused millions victims in the USSR. In 1939 Stalin collaborated with Hitler’s Germany, which resulted in assault on Poland and division of it’s terrotiry.

(I bolded selected text by myself)

"Even so Stalin continuosly tried to rebuild close relations with [nazi] Germany, because both countries still had the same political interests. Soviet dictator was impressed by panache and efficiency of Nazi regime. Special impression supposedly made on him “Night of the Long Knives”, when Hitler murdered his opposition inside the party […]. Even during bitter competition, both totalitarian powers tried to create a common border, but main obstacle was existence of independent Poland.

Later on they write that both countries finally got to an agreement and launched a common assault on Poland, but Hitler supposedly betrayed Stalin and the alliance ended in 1941.

In Polish high schools they seriously teach that Soviets were in the alliance with III Reich and that Stalin supposedly admired Hitler (if I recall correctly skimming through my sister’s book).

It goes deeper - they basically accuse the USSR of co-starting the World War II and other disgusting lies making communists look as bad or even worse than Nazis. It is formally approved as a school material and many if not most people unironically believe that the USSR was genocidal red-fascists empire.

Since propagating communism is illegal here, bookstores don’t print almost any good literature that would counter the state propaganda and the country exists in a capitalist fantasy bubble.

I was lucky enough to never trust educational system, but people who did are basically brain damaged now.

Sorry for chaotic style but I’m sleep deprived and I wanted to share this atrocity while I remember, I may share some more information tomorrow.

Thanks for the recommendation, I will watch it this week.

It’s scary how literally every problem the documentary talks about has only gotten far, far worse in the 30 years since.

That was also my feeling when I was reading Lenin for the first time…

Let’s not forget that major North American movies get funding from the military only if they paint the US in somewhat positive light.

It’s a powerful state propaganda that works on exporting their “values” into the outside world - this cultural imperialism gets ingrained in our imagination and most people never get to truly understand that. To this day I can’t fully shake off some positive associations with the US that were put in my brain since choldhiod childhood with the help of US media. It’s disgusting, really.
