England didn't, Poland objected because they didn't think the Soviets would leave after placing their troops inside Poland. The talks between the two sides we're started at the same time, and the Soviets went with Germany because they offered a better deal, basically

What I meant to sAy was, Stalin used the immortal science of marxism-leninism and the infallible nature of materialist dialectics to ascertain a pact with Nazis was the best course of action

Poles just don't know how to make deals, folks. Look at the alternative. SAD!

I love the American line where they say "have you ever spoken to someone from these countries" and they clearly have only spoken to expats and have never been to the country in question. Imagine if we got our impression of the USA from Americans living in moscow

Praising ho chi Minh and Fidel Castro is cool and good imo, if only for the amount of anger it inspires from all sides.

eh, she has some valid points about how myopic/dogmatic marxists can be, and there's some useful utility in this type of struggle, but like, okay then, what's YOUR revolutionary lens to interpret the flow of history lady?

It's like Lenin said

It probably is but I hardly see it as a justification for some of the other bizarre takes (not saying you do). Conflating the DSA with the entire American left and then seemingly some horrible personal experiences with socialists* seems to have driven her to paint the entire world of marxism with a wide and ridiculous brush. It's all I can think of.

* - i'm going to guess channers who are Anons with Stalin instead of Hitler, because I've never encountered any other kind of self-described marxist that's transphobic

its pretty troubling that this person with 300 twitter followers thinks marxism is wrong, this is a major ideological challenge for the socialist left :hmmyes:
