I met this really condescending kid in a mental hospital once who believed that Stalin was great, that a ton of genocides were fabricated by the west, along with a more general praise for communism and the Soviet Union.

So, is that what this place is? I know it's on the nose but I promise this story is true and that I'm not just shitposting, I am just genuinely curious because if there is an entire community of people like him who think that they've got it all figured out, that would be incredible.

    Here's a question for you: what do you imagine would have happened in the Soviet Union and in China if the Communists hadn't taken power?

    Would they not have had famines? Would people not have been persecuted for their beliefs? Would their domestic capabilities have developed more rapidly?
