bboplifaPolice are not primarily crime fighters, according to the data
Move to lemm.eeWow who would have guessed.
This user worships Lenin (known for killing over 8 million people). They are only here to create strife.
A thought-terminating cliche that has absolutely nothing to do with what I posted. “Don’t listen to this person’s completely reasonable point, they’re [redscareword]”
Your subsequent posts spam the same tired images praising Lenin who murdered 8 million people. Don’t listen to this person because they idolize mass murderers. They’re not mentally well.
Ableism really gets your point across.
Worshiping mass murderers really gets your point across and makes you look good.
I don’t worship them. I simply don’t agree with your take that they’re bad. Life was significantly worse under the Tsars and this is empirically provable with very simple data. For example a look at prison mortality rates before and after the revolution:
What you are functionally doing when you attack Lenin is say that you think the revolution shouldn’t have happened. You’re defending monsters yourself - the tsars.
The point isn’t to defend the mistakes of past socialist endeavours of which there were certainly many, but to uphold the obvious improvements that they most certainly made over what came before them.
Your username betrays your very first sentence (you claim not to worship Lenin). You can’t even start by making a truthful, coherent, or logical point. Look at how many images you’ve posted praising Lenin. You’re seriously claiming that you’re not worshiping him? You’re delusional.
You’re defending a man who murdered 8 million people. Full stop.

A revolution is not a mass murder. You just keep repeating the “killed 8 million people” line over and over again, devoid of context or historical analysis in order to repeatedly put the deaths that occurred during that revolution all entirely on one person. While simultaneously ignoring the fact that the revolution created a vast improvement in people’s lives.
You also defend modern day Russia
I do not.
Lol you claim to not defend modern day Russia, yet you constantly spout their propaganda like “Nazis are in Ukraine”. Then when I told you that there are Nazis in Russia too, you completely pivoted to another argument and defended Russia again.
Are you too dumb to remember the things you’ve written? It’s not a strawman argument if you’re too dumb to remember the bullshit that comes out of your mouth.
yet you constantly spout their propaganda like “Nazis are in Ukraine”.
Again you are misrepresenting a previous thread, where I said that by all means feel free to support ukraine but please reconsider using fascist slogans to do so, where I linked to the number 3 newspaper in Israel as a source.
Are you too dumb to remember the things you’ve written?
No I’m not. You make shit up though.
Lol. Every time you’re proven wrong you move the goal posts. It’s no wonder you support mass murderers (and Russian nazis) while I support underdogs like Ukraine who are fighting Imperialist Russia to defend their homeland. SLAVA UKRAINI
What? Can you actually respond to what I say instead of inventing a comment to respond to for once?
It sounds like you’re having trouble with basic reading comprehension. Sure I’ll copy past my comment responding to what you said.
You, “I don’t worship Lenin”
Me, “Here are several images just from this thread alone that shows you worship him. Your name also proves you worship him.”
You, “Uhh let’s talk about something different! I can’t admit when I’ve been proven wrong so I’m going to pivot to different bullshit”
Yes that’s the comment you invented, repeating it doesn’t help it’s just trolling which is about the 15th time you’ve broken rules here. Go back and respond to what I actually said.
Lol you’re so dumb that you can’t even remember (or go back and read) what you said? You’re the one who is trolling.
Here’s a screenshot saying you don’t worship mass murderers (talking about Lenin).
Yet you posted multiple images (multiple times) and many comments defending your love of someone who murdered 8 million people.
The evidence is all there. You provided it yourself. You’re just too stupid to remember the words you’ve typed today.

Dark_BladeWow, I could excuse the Lenin worship for a second (his list of atrocities isn’t widely known and he did depose a despotic regime), but Putin’s Russia???
Anarcho-BolshevikThe author of that graph miscalculated and accidentally inflated the Tsarist era statistics. They were closer to this. (If I remember correctly, the original author might have misunderstood Wheatcroft when he wrote ‘These rates were extremely high in the 1880s, when they were more than five times the normal prison mortality rate[.]’)
The Tsars were still pretty awful, though, and were one of the reasons that made the October Revolution inevitable.
No they didn’t. And you are providing no evidence for that claim.
I learnt this from a commenter on Reddit’s Chapotraphouse when another user shared that same graph; the comment explained how the author miscalculated. Unfortunately, the comment vanished when Reddit deleted Chapotraphouse years ago, so now I don’t have the evidence.
However, one of the sources in that graph, The Crisis of the Late Tsarist Penal System, does not really support the miscalculation:
The number of tsarist executions is clearly minute in comparison with the later Soviet figures, and the scale of katorga and exile is also extremely low. While this is undeniable, it is important to stress the remarkable changes and deterioration in the tsarist prison systems that came about in the last decade of tsarist rule.
That is unfortunate.

This doesn’t imply the figures in the graph are wrong. It implies that the later soviet figures had higher numbers. The graph is not of total numbers of deaths it is of the mortality rate, providing a comparison of the overall conditions. The soviets undoubtedly had massively more raw numbers, particularly in ww2 when they held many millions.
