The same is true of the US Empire’s vassals, like Canada. The sooner the west transitions to socialism and away from late-stage imperialism, the sooner the world can heal.

If you live in the US Empire, you can be a part of the movement to end it. Especially with the Empire’s recent aggression against Venezuela, now is a good time to get active! Join an org like the PSL! They’re already organizing anti-war protests, and even had one on Saturday.

The US is definitely losing.

Incorrect.

Had the USSR attacked Nazi Germany, they would have lost. The west was non-commital and refused to make an anti-Nazi alliance with the soviets, despite a decade of trying to form one, and evidence that the west would help the Nazis if the USSR attacked first. What the soviets did instead was prevent the Holocaust from spreading. There was no genocide committed by the soviets against the Polish, this is fascist Double Genocide Theory.

Everyone agrees that soviets did it. There is no other way. Sorry, but you don’t have any evidence, and pretending that some soviets documents might not be real, does not change the facts. Genocide did on a soviet soil, on the people arrested by soviets. A lot of letters and so on were found, and we know that soviets did it.

This is cope. You have no proof nor explanation why the execution method was distinctly Nazi, ie killing men, women, and children from behind into mass graves, nor why the ammunition was German-produced in 1941, and the rope used to bind the hands of the victims was German made, nor why the supposed “evidence” is marked with fabrications, nor why eyewitnesses claimed the Nazis did it. Just claiming I have no evidence despite the fact that your only evidence is Geobbels doesn’t make you right.

I’m facist because I’m saying the same thing as russian historians, and government, stating that russia attacked Poland in 1939, and then soviets are responsible for Katyn?

You’re getting called a fascist because you’re an anti-communist that is repeating narratives created by Nazi propagandists, including Double Genocide Theory.

Maduro is the democratically elected president of Venezuela. With 51% of the vote, compared to his opposition gaining 43%, the US Empire has tried to rely on manufacturing false evidence against Maduro so their compradors can gain power. This is despite the fact that the Venezuelan electoral process is among the most transparent in the world, with election observers including the opposition. Venezuelans didn’t believe the empire’s lies, though, so the empire was forced to engage by force, bombing hospitals and murdering dozens of civilians in the process.

These lies undermining Maduro are the same claiming there is no genocide in Palestine, that socialism is scary and evil, that Trump won 2020, that Saddam had WMD. These lies are undermining a country that nationalized their oil industry, requiring foreign capital to only have a minority stake. For this sin of keeping Venezuelan wealth for Venezuelans, the empire kidnapped him.

You’re getting called fash because you’re using fascist talking points regarding the soviets.

The communists spent the decade prior trying to form an anti-Nazi coalition force, such as the Anglo-French-Soviet Alliance which was pitched by the communists and rejected by the British and French. The communists hated the Nazis from the beginning, as the Nazi party rose to prominence by killing communists and labor organizers, cemented bourgeois rule, and was violently racist and imperialist, while the communists opposed all of that.

When the many talks of alliances with the west all fell short, the Soviets reluctantly agreed to sign a non-agression pact, in order to delay the coming war that everyone knew was happening soon. Throughout the last decade, Britain, France, and other western countries had formed pacts with Nazi Germany, such as the Four-Power Pact, the German-French-Non-Agression Pact, and more. Molotov-Ribbentrop was unique among the non-agression pacts with Nazi Germany in that it was right on the eve of war, and was the first between the USSR and Nazi Germany. It was a last resort, when the west was content from the beginning with working alongside Hitler.

Harry Truman, in 1941 in front of the Senate, stated:

If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia, and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don’t want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances.

Not only that, but it was the Soviet Union that was responsible for 4/5ths of total Nazi deaths, and winning the war against the Nazis. The Soviet Union did not agree to invade Poland with the Nazis, it was about spheres of influence and red lines the Nazis should not cross in Poland. When the USSR went into Poland, it stayed mostly to areas Poland had invaded and annexed a few decades prior. Should the Soviets have let Poland get entirely taken over by the Nazis, standing idle? The West made it clear that they were never going to help anyone against the Nazis until it was their turn to be targeted.

Katyn gets pinned on the Soviets because Goebbels reported on it and it became a useful story, but the execution method was distinctly Nazi, ie killing men, women, and children from behind into mass graves. The ammunition was German-produced in 1941, and the rope used to bind the hands of the victims was German made.

The Soviets absolutely killed Polish soldiers, but the character of their involvement was not anywhere close to what the Nazis reported. Calling it “genocide” while Nazi-occupied Poland was subject to the Holocaust is tantamount to Holocaust trigialization. There’s mountains of evidence against the documents listed as “proof” of Soviet guilt in the Katyn Massacre:

The mistakes and inconsistencies in this letter are many. To start, the letter is “Top Secret”. Standard procedure for a “Top Secret” letter were to write on the letter the name of the person who typed it, the names of all the persons who have seen the document, the names of all persons to whom this letter is to be sent, the number of copies made of this letter, the carbon paper used to make a copy of it and finally the tape of the typewriter used to make this paper. For the “Beria document”, none of these exist. Without these precautions, it is not a “Top Secret” letter. The forger of this document either was not aware of the requirements of a “Top Secret” paper, or such requirements could not be forged by them. Either way, this paper immediately looses its value, and furthermore shows it is a forgery.

But the mistakes do not stop here. The signatures of the members of the Politburo go against the form. In this letter, 4 members of the Politburo have simply signed their names. By this act, they have rejected the request of Beria. You see, if the members of the Politburo agreed to send out an order or to carry out a request, it was necessary for them to sign the document, and to write next to their signatures “agreed” or “after”. In order for the request to be agreed and the order to be sent out, the members had to express their agreement to the request or their agreement to an order being sent. If they simply signed the paper, it meant that the members had read the document, but had not agreed to it and had not sent out any orders. The forger was obviously not aware of this and has made the mistake. Even if this request is authentic, which it is not, it was not accepted by the Politburo.

On the first page of the document, along with the four signatures of Stalin, Molotov, Mikoyan and Voroshilov, the forger added the names of Kaganovich and Kalinin underneath these. What the forger was not aware of, is that both Kaganovich and Kalinin were absent from the 13th Session of the Politburo in March 1940. They could not have placed their signatures on this document.

Skip to the “forgeries” section.

Again, the reason you’re getting called fascist is because you are regurgitating fascist talking points surrounding the soviets.

Lack of political literacy, which is an ongoing struggle.

The problem is that you’re confidently adopting a line convenient for the state department on shaky allegations.

It was ambiguous enough that it looked like those were your expressed views, check the modlog.

Maduro is a former bus driver, union organizer, and firm supporter of the Bolivarian revolution. It’s very unlikely that he’d be made a comprador, and even less likely that the supporters of the Bolivarian revolution would let it slide.

I know it’s not a good line of reasoning, but if you legitimately adopted this mindset you’d be correct 85-99% of the time.

Thanks, comrade! This excellently shows that sanctions aren’t an alternative to war, but are war in a different shape. Great job!

Nothing substantial so far, it’s drenched in consent manufacturing.

Death to empire.

The claims Maduro stole the election are bullshit, but even if they weren’t, the US and EU wielded sanctions like a club against Venezuela to drop a big weight on the scales.

Delcy Rodríguez is sworn in as Acting President of Venezuela. She says she is doing so as “Executive Vice President of Constitutional President Nicolás Maduro Moros.” She states that she does so “with the pain of the Venezuelan people after an illegitimate military aggression in our homeland, due to the kidnapping of two heroes we have as hostages in the United States: President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores. I come with pain, but I also come with honor, to swear in the name of all Venezuelans.”

Rodríguez isn’t cooperating with the US. Rubio made it seem like she is, but the government of Venezuela is consolidated around Maduro, and the millitary also supports him due to the legacy of the Bolivarian revolution.

Maduro is the democratically elected president of Venezuela. With 51% of the vote, compared to his opposition gaining 43%, the US Empire has tried to rely on manufacturing false evidence against Maduro so their compradors can gain power. Venezuelans didn’t believe it, though, so the empire was forced to engage by force, bombing hospitals and murdering dozens of civilians in the process.

These lies undermining Maduro are the same claiming there is no genocide in Palestine, that socialism is scary and evil, that Trump won 2020, that Saddam had WMD. These lies are undermining a country that nationalized their oil industry, requiring foreign capital to only have a minority stake. For this sin of keeping Venezuelan wealth for Venezuelans, the empire kidnapped him.

Venezuelans are not stupid, though, nor are they willing to be colonized. The millitary and working classes both are aligned with the Bolivarian revolution. When the empire tries to establish a comprador regime, they will fail.

Viva Venezuela! Viva Maduro!

You mean gusanos?

To be clear, Venezuela is democratic, and Maduro legitimate.

Incorrect, Maduro was democratically elected and supported by the Venezuelan working classes due to continuing the legacy of Hugo Chavez.
