Behold Frankenstein’s monster.

You are making too many generalisations. Yes, some Trotskyists are annoying and have awful conceptions of the people’s republics, but categorising their entire movement as ‘anticommunist’ is a serious accusation and grossly unfair to the permanent revolutionaries who do support the people’s republics.

When you get the time, kindly read something here: https://www.trotskyistplatform.com/theory

From Rich Brownstein’s Holocaust Cinema Complete, pg. 70:

[T]he [Third Reich] built six camps specifically for slaughter, interchangeably known as “death camps,” “extermination camps” or “killing centers.” All six of these death camps were in occupied Poland: Chełmno, Belzec, Sobibór, Treblinka, Majdanek, and the camp system of Auschwitz/Birkenau. While some concentration camps had small gas chambers—Dachau, Stutthof, Mauthausen, Sachsenhausen, and Ravensbrück¹¹—extermination was the main business of the six death camps, even if labor ­sub-camps were part of a specific camp’s system, like at Auschwitz/Birkenau.

(Emphasis added.)

Since these were all in Poland, and the Soviets reached Poland whereas the Western Allies never did (otherwise there’d never be such a thing as the Polish People’s Republic), that means that the Soviets liberated all of these camps.

I hate to state the obvious, but scholarly citations like these are worth keeping in mind when anti-Bolsheviks inevitably say ‘you’re wrong’ to this sore point. Unfortunately, I predict that they are going to rescue their assumption by claiming that the Soviets merely captured the camps without liberating anybody (like this) and citing an Internet meme as the evidence. That, and referencing the Molotov Cocktease Pact: the single most important event in all of history right up until somebody murdered Charlie Kirk.

Doing research on the relations between Judaists and Samaritans, I came across this strange article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritan_revolts

During the reign of Emperor Zeno (r. 474–475 and 476–491), tensions between the Christian community and the Samaritans in Colonia Flavia Neapolis (Shechem) grew dramatically. According to Samaritan sources, Zeno, whom the sources refer to as “Zait the King of Edom”, persecuted the Samaritans mercilessly. The Emperor went to Neapolis, gathered the Samaritan elders, and asked them to convert to Christianity; when they refused, Zeno had many Samaritans killed and rebuilt their synagogue into a church. Zeno then took possession of Mount Gerizim and built several edifices, among them a tomb for his recently deceased son, on which he placed a Christian cross so the Samaritans would be forced to prostrate themselves in front of the tomb.

Truly baffling. You would think that a Christian would be gentle with an actual Samaritan, of all people, but perhaps the preachers awkwardly skipped over that part.

Now, I don’t want to blandly exonerate these conquerors by questioning their faithfulness. It’s unproductive (and uninteresting) to try explaining away Christian atrocities by saying that the oppressors weren’t ‘true’ Christians. On the other hand, it would be hard for anybody to argue with a straight face that these oppressors were merely following J.C.’s advice either. What interests me, above all, is tracing where these adventurer-conquerors inherited their practices… and given the history of Roman proto-imperialism, I think that I might know the answer.

Time to do some sleuthing.

A.I. was a mistake. It’s nothing but trash.

WHOAH whoah whoah whoah, whoah, wait a minute… okay, so, uh… okay, let me see if I got this. When you say,

He didn’t die. The tanks stopped.

What you REALLY mean is,

He did die. The tanks didn’t stop.

Is this right???

Wow.

I cannot begin to describe how frustrating it is every time a lie explodes in popularity while an important fact remains obscure.

Do they think Stalin and China are oppressing us?

Yes.
