Yes! I love the liberal cope everytime the DPRK tests a new missile. No motherfucker, you wont invade the DPRK, not unless you want to die in a nuclear holocaust. Cope.

Honestly the major antiimperialist players in Asia should create a "Warsaw Pact" to counter NATO, or maybe just join the CSTO. Russia, China, Belarus, Iran, Syria and DPRK should definetely consider it. Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua joining would also be cool, but i think that would provoke the US too much.

Btw dont know if you heard but Russia and China just did a joint air patrol in the East China Sea while Biden was in South Korea doing his warhawk stuff. China also held military exercises a few days ago practising a full scale invasion of Taiwan. The US better know what they are doing, the dumb fucks.

Yes! Russia and China had never been so united since the Sino Soviet Split. Also antiwest and procommunist sentiment is at an all time high in Russia, plus McDonalds and Pizza Hut finally left Moscow. Biden the senile managed to reverse (for the most part) the consequences of both khrushchevism and gorbachevism in one move! Thanks Joe! 😍

Im seriously wondering which last US president, Biden or Trump, accelerated the decline of the US empire more. I initially thought Trump was better in this regard and Biden would stabilize US power, but im being surprised every day.

Based! Montenegro and Serbia were the only constituent nations of Yugoslavia that resisted imperialism in the 90s, instead of supporting it. Very based!

Ahahahaha O7

This is about the Winter War and Continuation War. They were part of WW2. To understand them a bit of history is needed. Finland was part of the Russian Empire when the October Revolution happened. After the Revolution, Lenin proclaimed that all the constituent nations of the Russian Empire were now free to choose their own path. So Finland (and many other nations like the Baltics, Georgia, etc) declared independence. The Finnish Civil War broke out, between the finnish whites (monarchists/fascists/anticommunists), mainly composed of petty and big bourgeoisie who wanted to be completely independent from the USSR, be capitalist and ally with the German Empire (which at the time was still at war with the USSR since WW1 was still going on) and the finnish communists, mainly workers and peasants who were supporters of Lenin, had proclaimed the Finnish Socialist Workers Republic and wanted to join the USSR. While Lenins bolsheviks did help the finnish communists, the german advance was too much. Lenin had to sign the humiliating Treaty of Brest Litovsk, a peace treaty between the USSR and the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire). The treaty ceded Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine and Belarus to the German Empire and Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan to the Ottoman Empire. Thus, Lenin had to withdraw troops from Finland and stop helping the finnish communists. While they continued fighting, it was a lost cause and the german troops crushed them.

With the collapse of the German Empire at the end of WW1, german troops withdrew from Finland and Finland became completely independent. The new finnish state, far from the "wholesome liberal democracy" mainstream academia paints it as, was a right wing authoritarian regime. Communism was banned, and most of the finnish communists who had lost the Civil War were either massacred together with their whole families or imprisoned for a very long time. Massacres against communists were very common in the years after the war. As the 1930s arrived, Finland became more and more fascist and anticommunist. This placed them for a possible alliance with Nazi Germany against the hated communist USSR. The finnish bourgeoisie was more than happy to ally with nazism to destroy socialism. And so they did.

Now Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), the most important city in the USSR after Moscow, was (and is still nowadays, which makes Finland joining NATO very dangerous) very close to the border with Finland, making an attack on Leningrad from Finland very easy. For this reason, in 1939, seeing the soviets the antisoviet alliance forming between Finland and Nazi Germany, they had to secure their borders. They invaded and liberated the Baltic States (who were also fascist anticommunist dictatorships allied with the nazis) and they tried to negotiate with Finland. They offered to exchange territory. Finland would give the USSR their territories surrounding Leningrad and the USSR would give Finland a territory of their choice. Finland refused. USSR even offered to just lease them or even buy the finnish territories but Finland refused to negotiate. Seeing the finnish nazi alliance was a done deal, the USSR in 1939 invaded Finland to protect itself. This was the Winter War. The plan was to invade and bring the finnish communists to power, as had been done in the Baltic States where it worked perfectly since communism was very popular there despite being brutally supressed. The finnish communists proclaimed the Finnish Democratic Republic, a socialist republic, in the areas liberated by the USSR.

Unfortunately, the plan didnt work, since finnish communism had been completely destroyed by the finnish fascists. While the USSR did manage to secure Leningrad, they failed to topple the finnish fascist regime. The small Finnish Democratic Republic joined the USSR as the Karelio-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic (it later joined the Russian Soviet Republic where it remains today). In 1940 a peace treaty was signed and the Winter War ended. But Finland was still fascist and a nazi ally. So when Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa (the nazi invasion of the USSR) in 1941, Finland joined in in the invasion, seeking revenge against the communists. This was the Continuation War. In the end, Finland, along with its nazi allies, lost WW2. The finnish fascists were put on trial for war crimes and imprisoned. Communism was finally legalized and the Finnish Communist Party, a strong ally of the USSR, became a powerful force in finnish politics until its decline in the 1980s. Thus, it is thanks to the USSR and its crushing victory in the Continuation War that Finland is a social democracy today and not a fascist regime. Although its slipping back into fascism recently. These historical facts are being denied by the finnish government and historical revisionism openly promoted. Finnish schools teach that Finland was a "wholesom social democracy" and ebil russians invaded them for no reason. There is no mention of the fact that they were literally nazi allies nor of the numerous war crimes Finland committed both during WW2 and the Finnish Civil War.

So yeah, the dude here is honoring his nazi dad basically.

Uhhh no? Identity politics has nothing to do with this. The problem here is western exceptionalism, the belief that "the west", meaning the US empire, has the right to be the world police and that its political system is the role model to follow. Thats the origin of eurocommunism, which is what killed the western left. The idea that "we must have a democratic communism, because soviet, chinese and third world communism is authoritarian and undemocratic, while western democracies arent" is what killed the western left. The 3 strongest communist parties in Western Europe, the Italian, French and Spanish Communist Parties, were destroyed by eurocommunism. Thats the problem here, western chauvinism and propaganda. Identity politics, no matter what you think of it, has nothing to do with this and is totally irrelevant to my post.

I mean, i said what i said because in some socialist countries religion was very heavily suppressed imo, in Albania for example or USSR at times. Getting a Bible or a Quran was very hard and so on. I think assets of churches should be expropiated indeed. Churches should become like a kind of mass organization imo, with all its assets owned by the state and the organization also controlled by the state. The church functions as a church but is subordinated to the party and takes orders from it. Again, i think religious people who can think in a materialist way should be allowed to join the party. Ofc there should be high standard requirements, but if they meet them and are believers, i think its ok. I understand why you think this is impossible, since your country is full of religious nutjobs (no offense), but i can guarantee you its true. Here in Spain religion has much less influence in society than in Poland, and youll find many people who consider themselves catholic but dont appear like it at all. They rarely go to church, follow no restrictions associated with catholicism and dont care about what the Pope says about abortion, gays or some other thing. My mom is like that, shes a scientist so she can apply rational thinking, but she still believes. I often ask her why (im atheist), and she says it makes her feel protected during hard times. I think that these type of people, which believe me are very common here in western europe, should be allowed to join the party.

I also think you shouldnt discard the progressive potential for religion. I think religion is a tool, so its not bad by itself. Sure religion is very often used by reactionaries, but it can also be used progressively. Again what China did in Tibet, they picked a loyal Panchen Lama, and now he uses his strong influence as a religious leader to promote socialism, friendship with the chinese government and fights the tibetan CIA opposition. Indeed, the beliefs of the mainstream religions (islam, christianity, judaism and buddhism) are often quite compatible with socialism, since they promote friendship with others, helping the poor, solidarity, etc. Hell if Jesus Christ was alive today hed be 100% called a "communist" by the libs. Thats where christian socialism and islamic socialism comes into the picture. In countries with strong religious influence it can be a great way to strenghten socialism i think. Ofc you should be able to control the religious leaders for this to work, otherwise the reactionaries can use the religion against socialism. For example i think in Poland it wouldnt work, because the religious leader is the Pope, and hes in Rome so you cant control him. It could work tho in Russia for example, where you have the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church there. You put someone loyal in charge, control him and use christianity to promote socialism. I think its an option as valid as state atheism. Both options could work in the appropiate material conditions i think. What do you think?

I mean, i still think tho that we shouldnt supress religion, we should control it, like in China. Religion will fade away with communism, but until then we must deal with it somehow. Supressing it doesnt work (as a pole you sure must know) and its wrong. By controlling it, we remove cults and reactionary branches of mainstream religions and put in its place religious leaders loyal to the Communist Party. China did this great in Tibet. They replaced the proUS Panchen Lama with a prochinese one, and as soon as the Dalai Lama dies the same thing will be done, and it will be the end for the US funded tibetan opposition. Same in Xinjiang, they have religious leaders who respect secularism and are loyal to Beijing. I also think we shouldnt ban religious people from joining the Communist Party as long as they can separate their faith from reality and do a materialist analysis (meaning no creationist type idiots). Thats what i think.

Even if they claim to be ML its bad. Here the Communist Party of Spain claims to be ML but its 100% liberal. They are in coalition government with these Podemos idiots and the socdems. They love Zelenski, say pootin man bad all the time and support sending weapons to neonazis. While many members of the party are based the leadership are a gang of corrupt opportunists and are destroying the party. Although imo the party was killed in 1975, when they rejected revolution in favor of liberal democracy. Honestly i think the KKE (Communist Party of Greece) is the only mainstream communist party in western europe that isnt 100% social imperialist.

Same here in Spain. A lot of talking about "we must leave NATO and the EU" and "America bad" but then when push comes to shove, like now with the Ukraine War, they all rally behind NATO and support the NATO narrative. The Podemos motherfuckers (which includes the Communist Party, yes its that revisionist, eurocommunism killed it) literally did a standing ovation for Zelenski the piece of shit nazi. We are sending millions of euros in weapons to neonazis, but its ok because russia man bad. Oh whats that, you need welfare to not starve? Sorry, no money left for that. Fucking social fascists. Where are you from?

For real. Then they have the gull to sing The Internationale at their rallies. Literally the definition of social fascism.

He says Stalin did bad things because "ebil guleg purges" but he also did good because he industrialized USSR and established socialism. Id say hes kind of a khrushchevite.
