This is so surreal to read as a Turk. No, seriously, is this a joke? Is Engels being sarcastic here? Am I being duped?
Lol this is classic Engels irony. He's reviewing the book of a turkaboo.
He knew enough about Europe to know it was bad and not enough about anything else to know that they, too, were bad
He’s being completely serious. Everyone knows the USSR was first and foremost Turkish.
but it doesn’t micromanage your community the way modern european-style states do
is it just me or do european powers always try to micromanage cultural things, while every-other-power never cared?
maybe Russia also didn't do it, not sure.
Depends on the group and the time period for Russia.
There was like 20 different Cossack nations that were all autonomous or oppressed at different times in Russia’s history.
Engels sounding like a modern internet poisoned Twitter user is definitely a case for how things don’t change.
holy shit Islamo-Bolshevism
the right is going to have a field day with this
