“Flag of the USSR if it was a brutal dictatorship with a shitty ideology that resulted in the deaths of millions of people”
Redditors really do love saying things that 99% of redditors agree with and acting like they're being really brave for saying it.
"Unpopular opinion, but I think we should nuke all brown people.
EDIT: Wow thanks for the gold kind gentle sir!"
Murica good, china bad. Downvote me all you want.
EDIT: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
Flag of the US if it was a brutal bourgeois dictatorship with a shitty ideology that resulted in the deaths of millions of people
(CW: fascist symbol)
Show
USSR was the reason Western Europe had its social democratic moment.
for anyone who would like more detail on this: https://redsails.org/concessions/
What would happen if capital succeeded in smashing the Republic of Soviets? There would set in an era of the blackest reaction in all the capitalist and colonial countries, the working class and the oppressed peoples would be seized by the throat, the positions of international communism would be lost.
Liberals always say communist ideology itself killed people, but when they talk about fascists they tend to place the blame on one or two specific people. Same thing when capitalism does inevitably something awful, it's always one or two specific people doing it wrong.
Liberals conceive of communism as a magical hypnosis ray or something
And When capitalist nations fail or result in the deaths of millions, the liberals put the blame blame on a secret cabal of leftists that caused it, or just a few bad individual apples. Famine in capitalist nations is always attributed to the individuals, who in their eyes are just lazy.
They're disgusting
I feel like spongebob case for these post titles would be better for my blood pressure
EDIT: thank you for changing it OP! really helps me read it in the right sarcastic tone
Is there a page where I can copy paste that because doing it myself would be way too much work 😅
Because of the meme it originates from, itself based on a screenshot from an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants, an animated show.
Yes, apologies, I linked the blank template (and a cropped version of it at that I think).
Looking into the actual origin, it seems the first version with text started on twitter with this meme.
Flag of the USA if it was a brutal authoritarian regime hell bent on destroying the entire world in the pursuit of endless GDP growth 🇺🇲
I stole this and put it on Reddit and posted it on the memes page. I understand if you will want to exert vengeance to me due to that transgression some day.
Behold the power of memes. No need to know anything, just repeat the dogmas.
he he he shitty ideology not like capitalism which has no flaws and has only benefitted me: a guy that likes to post
these people are so braindead
since they posted in the circlejerk sub, wouldn't that mean this is parody?
No lol. Circlejerk subs may start off as satire or whatever, but it eventually becomes a place to contain shitposts away from its primary community.
Why would that have made them round off the corners on the flag though?
Is it hyperbolic to say capitalism is responsible for the deaths of most people over the last 100 years?
I don't think it is, and I'm not even talking about malaria, just general human suffering and excess mortality. I mean, the decline of life expectancy of post Soviet collapse alone...
"Tsk tsk Soviet Union. How dare you be a bad Russian authoritarian regime? Why can't you be more like the good German authoritarian regime?"
- Every Redditor ever
Which millions of people? Please, tell me where these documents are that prove the Soviets executed a trillion billion people.
Fuck the CCP!
gomminism BAD
