  • There really should be a community for “Weird america” or something.

    I live in Europe, and I donate blood because it’s the fucking right thing to do. Everyone knows someone whose life was saved by a random donor, and every time you donate blood you’re saving someone’s life.

    Like there’s literally no reason to not donate it if your body allows it

















  • exploitation of surplus value

    Ignore the surplus. Value was taken away from those who needed it (example case holomodor)

    ethnonationalism in the USSR

    Especially in occupied areas, non-russians were treated as 2nd class citizens and partially eradicated (insert “go to gulag” -meme. See also: genocide)

    how womens rights weren’t categorically forwarded to world-pioneer levels

    So quick online search already shows you that it had nothing to do with equality between the men and women, but about better abusing women’s labor. Just like in a capitalist society

    Below a lazy Wikipedia quote:

    Though the prevailing Soviet ideology stressed total gender equality, and many Soviet women held jobs and advanced degrees, they did not participate in core political roles and institutions.[24][25] Above the middle levels, political and economic leaders were overwhelmingly male[citation needed]. While propaganda claimed, accurately, that more women sat in the Supreme Soviet than in most democratic countries’ legislative bodies combined, only two women, Yekaterina Furtseva and (in its last year of existence) Galina Semyonova, were ever members of the party’s Politburo, arguably the most important component of country’s government

    tell us how the USSR’s ideas weren’t based on internationalist solidarity,

    Your ideas don’t mean a shit if your actions don’t reflect it.

    tell me one country with more union members than the former USSR

    The unions were led and controlled by the communist party, which was also on control of everything else. That’s like naming Musk the leader of trade union at Tesla
