HorseLord is right regarding America. his WWII comments are needlessly hyperbolic, but he's not wrong that the United States is a nation of cowards founded on genocide

i've often found it fun to troll europeans about the overall shoddiness of their civilization in the same way he's trolling Americans itt

a troll knows no obligation to honor the premises of the thread they troll

Libertarianism is america's fault. You decided to oppose socialism and naturally vomited it's polar opposite all over the place.

nah dude, like many of America's most grotesque ideological facets the blame for libertarianism lies squarely with the cretinous British from whose empire of blood, sugar and drug pushing we sprang

modern, dedicated stalinists and trotskyists have always struck me as odd. it was a succession dispute in an empire most of them didn't even live in, that no longer exists, whose contenders left no dynasties to continue supporting. i mean, come on guy. stalin and trotsky are both a little too dead to care which one you'd have preferred get the big chair after Lenin

the best part of stalin's ostensible biography is the time he spent in Siberia during his own gulag years under the tzar living with the reindeer-herding animistic locals. he should've just married a siberian girl and settled out there on the frontier, herding and fishing and making babies. he was pretty dreamy as a young man, and an accomplished bank robber. marrying into a semi-nomadic Siberian community, maybe helping them defend themselves against the forces ofRoman von Ungern-Sternberg after WWI, would've saved everybody so much trouble and made for much more popular biopics. trotsky would've definitely done a much better job getting the Red Army in shape to face Hitler down the line, too.

like 99% of that blood didn't exist. If Stalin's government had killed as many as was often claimed, the USSR would have had a depopulation crisis large enough to end their civilization.

okay. can you point me to any peer-reviewed scholarship on the subject that reaches this conclusion? 'the interwar famines and purges never happened' is a pretty significant claim for which I'd love to see the evidence. i've got institutional access to a lot of academic journals, even just the name of a historian working the subject would be a suitable start.

try replying to what I said not what you'd like me to have said.

if you don't want to share your sources that's fine, but it means this will only ever be a troll derail on an otherwise boring afternoon

There's god knows how many historical examples of non-state groups establishing states under their control, but Molyneux is a dishonest idiot who can only deny the idea by narrowing it down to the specific example of a modern corporation overthrowing a modern state.

and he's still wrong what with the British East India Company
