What do tankies think of all the millions of citizens Russia killed in the ussr existance?
The same you feel when I ask about the millions killed yearly due to imperialism & capitalist overreach.
It's not the same as all. I don't support any killings. But you, you have just now with your comment, tried to excuse all the violence and terror and suffering and death caused by ussr, by saying: the other side does it too. Thats seriously messed up. What kind of a person thinks like that. Despicable.
I don't support any killings.
Clearly you do. You support a world order that can only survive on exploitation of the global south and developing world. So yes. You do.
You can pretend all you want. But you benefit from those killings you don't speak out against. That is tacit support.
We can and should do everything we can to minimize suffering. You want to bury your head in the sand about the killing and suffering needed to support your lifestyle.
EDIT: The post above this was just saying that I was trying to "No u" him, but he called me a bad name, so the mod tagged it, just for context. To be fair, I am saying that it happened and happens in many cases, so I can see the argument, I just think it's inaccurate.
We both do. I just don't hide from that fact and work to minimize the damage.
