    Maybe drag could stop defending Nazi sympathizers that lynched Communists and Jewish people as “revolutionaries.” If the Soviets gave power to the Nazi sympathizers, the pograms would have continued. Seems the origin of the Nazi problem was the Nazis, and not the anti-fascist Red Army.

        I think lynching the Communist, Soviet officials and Jewish people is a pretty Nazi thing to do, especially coming from people that sided with the Nazis in World War II and were being made to pay reparations for doing so. drag has no coherent ideology other than getting upset at Communists to the point of defending Nazis.

            Not sure how that connects, I support AES and I’m a Marxist-Leninist, the target of McCarthyism. drag calling people lynching the Soviets as “Communists” is very silly, the Communists and peasants in Hungary opposed the Nazis who were lynching Communists and Jewish people.

                Very silly to call a publicly owned and planned economy where the Working Class was in power “neoliberal.” Words have meaning because people need to communicate, just calling everything random names doesn’t help that.

                  It wasn’t publicly owned. That requires democracy. The people didn’t own the government, and the government owned the means of production, so the people didn’t own them. The government was a private entity.

                    1. The Soviet Union was democratic. They had a structure called Soviet Democracy, elaborated on in Soviet Democracy, written by Pat Sloan. It looked like this in practice:

                    1. The people participated in and owned the government.

                    2. The government was not a “private entity,” that’s deeply silly.

                    Even if all of what drag said was true, it still would not be neoliberal, itself an ideology surrounding privatization and international Capitalism. drag has been explained all of this before, though, drag is just a Nazi-defending troll, so drag doesn’t actually care.
