I don't remember a time where kidnapping people and putting them into concentration camps away from their families made something not left, actually it seems pretty common in former and current communist countries lol...

but actually i meant "slightly more left" in the sense of economic-social matters, not... killing or kidnapping people matters. he has done quite a lot to improve social services and lessen the financial fuckedness of many government programs, for example.

The funniest part of this shitty rhetoric is you thinking that former communist countries are left wing. No, when the US overthrows your left wing government and installs a right wing dictatorship/psuedodemocracy thats actually a right wing system now.

What an incredible admission to not knowing shit about dick and still being ignorant enough to think your opinion matters.

You used present tense for former communist countries.

Also, your whole thing is literally just repackaged blood libel about those "judeo-bolsheviks". Which is less funny but even more pathetic.

??? are you just resorting to bringing up completely unrelated shit to escape embarrassment? I imagined context could make it clear but mentioning "former communist countries" I was speaking of communist countries in history which formerly existed, but now no longer exist. If I meant countries which were communist but now aren't, I would have specified "formerly communist countries". Why would you even think it was implying that a country being communist in the past means it's leftist in the present? How do you reason that?

Edit: lol apparently @cypherpunks@lemmy.ml or an admin is removing the replies because they speak of Lenin's Gulags, dekulakization, and Mao's Laogai. Funny what kind of comments get removed by .ml mods; apparently not comments trying to suddenly bring antisemitism into the conversation, and not comments pretending that saying sometimes in history leftist governments have interned kids means I must both be anti-leftist and making excuses for the US' treatment of immigrants.

How do you, with a straight face, say "criticizing a communist leader/government means you hate jews"? You are simply resorting to making up "you're an antisemite" out of thin air to invalidate others. I have literally not once mentioned judaism. I don't even know if I've mentioned jews in my entire comment history before you randomly started blaming jews for alleged "anticommunism".

You are using discrimination against jews as a tool to attempt silencing others. You accusing everyone else of being an "antisemite" is your way of avoiding your own responsibility and putting others in a box. Let me guess, you support the Israeli genocide of Palestinians and use "antisemite" to defend it too?

Are you not literally claiming that those nasty ~~jews~~ communists had a habit of kidnapping kids? Or are you going to plead ignorance about the connection between antisemitism and anticommunism?

Your literal words were

actually it seems pretty common in former and current communist countries lol…

Not, "it seems like it was pretty common in former communist countries"

Please, find me sources for these massive instances of child kidnapping.

Also, love it when liberals are like "oh, sure, we put kids in concentration camps, but so do socialist countries(unsourced)" aren't y'all the kind to complain about "whatabaoutism"?
