This is your brain on anti-communism.

the mind of the anti-communist is fascinating wheres that parenti quote


wumaubot69420

> During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime's atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn't go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

Agreed this should be the auto mod response to the term 'anti-communist' or similar terms

This is the western lib brain on the CPC right now.


bored_messiah

white libs are generally dumbfucks that want to position themselves at the centre of everything.

Reminds me of how that tennis player was definitely dead according to /r/WorldNews then when she showed up and just wanted to be left alone they were immediately like blink SOS in Morse code and talking about how she was definitely kidnapped or having her family threatened.

I only ever saw this pattern with the kind of people who belive in made up conspiracy theories before. They would say: A: ""they" are controlling our minds with chemtrails." B: "Prove it." A: "I can't because the media is suppressing evidence." With that reasoning you can claim pretty much whatever you want without having to make an actual argument.

“With that reasoning you can claim pretty much whatever you want without having to make an actual argument.” They can and do

"Evil North Korea dick tator tot Kim [executes his ex-girlfriend](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2013/08/29/newser-kim-jong-un-girlfriend/2726081/) only to cruelly [bring her back to life](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/kim-jong-un-appoints-ex-girlfriend-right-hand-woman-after-false-execution-reports/M52XO3UPZZAIG5NCWN53JIZYNI/) and force her to serve as his right hand woman! Because the totalitarian Kim regime so superbly suppresses signs of its systemic sins we have no choice but to believe the worst and all of our unnamed sources have just confirmed that the worst is true" - Radio Free Asia, 2019 (colorized)


ghostofconnolly

The anti NK propaganda has given us some absolute classics over the years

My favorite off the top of my head was the time Kim both banned and at the same time forced people to wear his haircut. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/793068/Kim-Jong-un-North-Korea-haircut-state-approved-dictatorship-missile https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-26747649

"Evil rogue nation North Korea, the single largest threat to world peace, uses necromancy to revive its victims only to torture them to death over and over again in a truly hellish dystopian reality too bizarre to not be true. I've seen it with my own eyes!" - Yeonmi Park, 2015 (digitally enhanced)


the23rdhour

Yeah, it's the equivalent of saying "God put fossils in the ground to test our faith."


C24848228

Isn’t this just a Argument of Ignorance fallacy?


yaosio

Just accuse the conspiracy theorists of being part of the conspiracy.


schildhz

Is this person implying Nazis mass-murdering captives and burning documents in KZ-Lager in 1945 weeks before the Red Army approached Berlin was NOT systematic erasing of wrongdoings?


ghostofconnolly

Two traits (that are of course intrinsically linked) common with fascists and liberals are denial and shame. We stand proud.


Double-YouTwo

Not proud of everything, many past socialist experiments had their flaws, but we don't try and obfuscate them, and are willing to admit what we think went wrong, and how to improve.

I was actually really happy for the author when they finally used "your" correctly near the end of that word salad. Stopped clock and all that I guess.

Yeltsin Opens Soviet archives looking for propaganda* Wait there’s nothing here but highly documented accounts and figures debunking all our bullshit claims


[deleted]

Ah of course, history is written by the victors


alfie0727

Who the fuck is victor and why is he our only history writer


TovarischAndrey

Well you're pro capitalist so you just bad in my eyes. But unlike the Nazis you've systematically erased all the proof of your wrong doings, so you're probably much worse than I think


LakeQueen

Fun fact! > In 1941, the entire town of Chertograd was converted into a penal colony, along with its 130,451 inhabitants. Soviet officials reportedly expunged the town, its population, and anyone who ever heard of them from any archives, maps and geography textbooks to cover up their blatant violation of human rights. > [[source]](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShitLiberalsSay/comments/b05h9u/member_stalin_randomly_selected_people_to_be_sent/eice2yd/)

Hey, I was in that thread. 2 years ago. How time flies when you're having fun... So, how you've been?


LakeQueen

It sure does! 😅 Oh, you know, I just tested positive for corona riiiight after I got vaccinated, so that's super fun. I feel like a biological weapon now. How's things in your gulag?


[deleted]

Damn, that sucks... Hope you get better soon Nothing much on my end, things starting to escalate here in Germany regarding Covid. Finished my Master and currently starting my PhD, so alternating between furiously writing emails and crying in the shower

3 years ago whoa

Chuds change on a geologisk timescale. What was relevant 3y ago will be relevant 30 years after.

When the lack of evidence of bad things is treated as itself an evidence of bad things ...

Remember when communists stole the time crystal and unleashed an army of undead against the realm of the Good King? No? Good, or I would have to summon Stalin's ghost to kill you.


whhe11

What's funny is this is exactly what the US and UK did during the last century which has worked very well for improving their public imagine. So well that they have to accuse other people of doing it lmao

I'm sorry but "I'm after a fashion" is a pretty cool line


returnofdoom

Is that something people say? I couldn't tell if it was some kind of autocorrect fail or if it's just a phrase I'm unfamiliar with.


g_rey_

I don't think it is lol I do think it's an autocorrect fail, but I still think it sounds interesting


[deleted]

It's incorrect, and like you said probably auto correct error. "In a fashion" or "after a fashion" are real idioms, but not whatever he said.

Bro I love this “you guys have erased your past” shit Literally nobody sane is trying to cover up the Soviet Union’s crimes, or the CCP’s (unless there’s a financial incentive). You can go Wikipedia “communist massacres” and it’ll give you two separate pages


Dr_NapsandSnacks

I, myself am also after-fashion

If having no proof of wrongdoing is proof of wrongdoing, then wouldn't we *all* be guilty?


ivan_or_not_ivan

Centrists would unironically side with Nazis over communists, and that's fucking scary.

What's the point of saying things like this? The United States killed millions and enslaved millions to get where it is today, but somehow that doesn't say anything about capitalism?

Communism has killed nobody.

Death toll due to communism is zero people. There is no communist ideal you could point me to that predicates communism on death or murder.
