Stagehand was in the middle of something, but fine, they'll rest for the moment.

It's concerning as someone who spends half their time trying to tell children about communist atrocities and wondering how many of them go home and rant about how evil I am for being against communism. Even after knowing/learning communism has killed far more millions than we will ever really fully know because they figured out how to do it a little too well in an age when you just have to toss everything into a fire to get rid of the evidence.

How much generational trauma is still going along the bloodline because of communism. How many victims feel like they have to be silent or else they get dogpiled by children. Telling them they're wrong.

Do you even know who the Khmer Rouge killed? Why?

Do you even know what the Holodomor is?

How many millions of Ukrainians and Cambodians are gone because of communists? Because their ideology literally says to murder en masse? I'm sorry that isn't what you took out of your little commie manual.

How much bigger, fuller, wonderful would life be in dozens of places if not for communism? Communism does not encourage art. It does not encourage writing (except for the machine of communism). It does not care if you are disabled, it will kill you for being useless as a worker. If you think it cares a fucking whit about people like me, you're sadly mistaken.

Queer people are an abomination. They will not/can not produce future workers. They are things to be killed and dumped into pits because they are not proper members of the Party. Some even got forced sterilization just for that extra bit of misery and humiliation.

It is not the amazing, wonderful, loving, caring ideology you take it for.

It cares not for true science. If a scientist disagrees with the Party Scientists, they have to go. Communist Science looks like putting hundreds into the freezing cold. Forcing them to have children. For the sole purpose of making the children immune to the cold. That's not how that works. So many dead for science that isn't real science. Where is your concern for ethics? For humanity? It does not exist in communism.

Communism is not what you think it is. Communism has murdered millions. Communism has hurt the families of people you claim the glory of communism in front of.

Better dead than red? Dead because of Red.

Did you miss the part where I literally teach this? I have spent a good portion of my adult life studying and teaching about communism. And honestly, I don't have much of a choice. I'm nearly 40 years old. Commies murdered millions of Ukrainians. The US has the highest concentration of Ukrs outside of Ukraine for one reason: communism.

I don't need a variant of "it was not real communism" on my posts.

I am 100% describing communist regimes. If it floats like a duck and quacks like a duck. Dictatorship and communist are not mutually exclusive. In many of these places, they went so far left that they touched the far right/authoritarian. But that doesn't mean it wasn't communism first. Communism brought them to that point. Democracy has led to authoritarianism and fascism. Does that mean it wasn't true democracy because of that evolution? Kuzco Emperor's New Groove voice: Let me guess you fully believe China is not communist because -checks notes- they vote*.

Communism cannot be done at a national level. It simply can't. All of their attempts to make it so? Ended in murder. Of millions. But then it seems you glossed over the part where I said communist theory requires mass murder. (And honestly I suspect Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin, et al knew that. They knew it requires mass murder and were still fully willing to go ahead. Not that they got to that inevitable mass murder point then truly went "oh shit". But "aww, fuck it. Everyone is already so bloodthirsty anyway, right?" Stalin himself pulled a Scar with the Hyenas in his "Dizzy with Success" but like... he told them to kill so they did. And now he's saying he didn't?)

The ones who don't learn what communism means anymore are the kids with the hammer and sickle in their bios or avatars. Who say shit like they're a "marxist-leninist". And that they can't wait for the revolution to come so they can kill people they incorrectly refer to as the bourgeoise and they say they are proudly anti-intelligentsia.

Please do me a favor and read at least three of the books on this list. Then you tell me whether or not I'm correct in my assessment of what communism "means". Millions are dead and cannot tell you. Only their survivors, if any, can point to communism and say 'that's why my great aunt is dead, that's why my grandpa went to gulag'.

Don't you think... a little bit... that it's wild how everywhere communism has embedded itself, there has been mass murder? You can go "but capitalism--" but again, at the end of the day, it didn't kill millions in the matter of a single year even though they had the means to feed everyone. It didn't kill people for wearing eyeglasses. It did not torture and murder people for the simple 'crime' of 'stealing' a handful of fucking grain. Atrocities exist in the West. But not with the same cause, the same reasoning, as in communism.

Communism is not the goddamn answer to capitalism. It cannot work large scale. Trying to do so is asinine and is telling people who survived other regimes that you didn't learn squat from previous 'experiments'.

The sheer fact that communism has led to a cult of personality single leader system does not mean it wasn't communism. I mean for fuck's sake, proto-communism wanted to completely demolish the idea of privacy whatsoever! But I guess "that's actually authoritarianism".

And at the end of the day? Survivors and their families don't give two shits if you think it "wasn't real communism" or "um actually that's a dictatorship". Because people who proclaimed themselves commies did real damage, real mass murder. They did what they did at the behest of an ideology that looks great on paper but not so much in real life.

Actual communist theory cannot work except in super small communes like a fucking kibbutz.

What's that quote? Something something the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?

*This is incredibly simplistic but I think I get the point across.

the games got me in they clutches dawg

Hiyoko Saionji (Danganronpa)

its not and never has been something you need in order to truly identify as a therian

it makes me so annoyed that people only think of therians as walking on all fours

if you do quads cool!! but its not inherently a therian thing

A merry fuck you to the fact this person DOUBLED DOWN when I said that these systems may not be in a safe place (physically or mentally) to start looking at the (arguably very complex) science behind having DID/OSDD1/PDID.

And a final fuck you to the fact that this person went on a whole rant saying that you are not allowed to view your alters as separate beings, and that they didnt care if thats how your alters presented you have to treat them all the same way or youre anti recovery.
