Wheeee posted:even Lenin on his death bed was all "and guys seriously Stalin is a loving rear end in a top hat and he's always up to some poo poo, don't let him take over you morans" so like its not really a secret that Stalin was a piece of poo poo and also that he rolled back a lot of cool and good things that the USSR had accomplished in the early days while being a paranoid alcoholic who killed people out of insane paranoia while dragging a backwards agrarian peasant nation into the 20th century in the greatest feat of human productivity and industrialization in history for the purpose of annihilating fascism with the happy side effect of creating the second greatest superpower to ever exist actually, stalin was hot, and sexy, and my friend

Supporting foreign reactionaries on the basis that they oppose western imperialism is a grand tradition in the western left.

Imperial Japan had the whole Co Prosperity sphere rhetoric and were the only country that pushed a notion against racism on the League of Nations (shot down by the US in behalf of Dixiecrats and Britain in behalf of Australia lol) Why the gently caress wouldn't black people on the US not be sympathetic with them.

Yeah. Also I think people forget that contemporaries who supported Stalin or the Japanese Empire didn't have the near century of hindsight we do.

Imagine you wake up one day in 1905 after living your whole life under the thumb of white supremacy, then you read the news and see that one of the most powerful modern fleets created by a white empire just got destroyed by a race of inscrutable yellow Asiatics. How could you not love them?

Antwan3K posted:Ok but WEB Dubois was not some average person was he. There wasn't any "good" side, it was a pure imperial contest to see who would get the sway of influence over Manchuria and rights to Port Arthur. You could get invested in it if you thought of it as a race war though, which is the way a lot of Europeans and settler-colonialists interpreted it. So if you're the colonial subject of a racist settler state, it's impossible not to identify with the non-white power.

Tsar Nicholas II posted:I have heard that american cuisine is miserable. All the foods are prepared on a big scale and they have no individual flavor or taste. The trusts can manufacture iron or other industrial things on a big scale, but when it comes to the manufacture of food, there commercial methods fail. As far as i have heard, they have commercialized literature and art, resturaunts and homes. A man has to eat what the trust gives and has to be content with a home that another trust furnishes.
