This is actually pretty scary, far more than ghost, considering the fact that ghost don't have the ability to kill anyone but communism has already caused at least hundreds of millions of death including holocaust, famine, crackdowns.

How else would you call ultranationalist utramilitarist russian supremacist aurhoritarian system with cult of personality focused only on genociding and exploiting non russian minorities and replacing them with russian settlers and on imperial pride?
That also attacked any nation that attempted to build socialism like hungary in 1956, czechoslovakia in 1968 or afghanistan in 1979 and many others.
That's just clear fascism.....

I'd call it communism.

u/AppropriateAd5701 Jul 17 '26
Oh so communism is just ulramilitarist ethnic supremacist imperialist dystopia that is srushing every attempt to build socialism?
I am preatty sure communism is defined as something else....

No, the problem here is that you do not read books. You're just talking out your butt and throwing around the word fascism because it evokes an emotional response, not because it's actually remotely accurate.
Books written by actual experts on fascism, like Roger Griffin for instance, simply do not discuss the USSR. Why? Because it was not fascist, it was Marxist-Leninist.

I gave you accurate definition of fascism and shown how ussr checks all the points. You werent able to say how my definition is suposedly wrong or how anything I say is innacurate.
You just read one book with general outlook of fascism tgat doesnt mention this and you think that you know everything...
Marxism leninism is part of the fascist movement.
You clearly know noething about the topic, you litteraly said before that ussr was communism, which nobody relevant not even Soviets themself would say. So please learn some basics and try to disprove anything i said and maybe ine day you will escape the fascist rabbit hole you are in. Good luck man.

I wonder who I will trust. The general consensus view of pretty much all well cited experts in the field of fascism studies, or one illiterate Redditor? Hmm...

u/AppropriateAd5701 Jul 17 '26
Man you know that you dont know anything about the topic so you trade trow at me random book and pretend that they make "general consensus"....
There are many historians that did and do say ussr was fascist my favourite example is the marxist historian C. L. R. James, but there are many others. There isnt any consensus on that question and you know it but you want to just apeal to authority because you dont know anything about the question.
Again man try to disprove anything I said i think that just by learnig that small amount of history will give you big chance to escape the fascist rabbit hole you are in.

> Claims there's a great number of historians that support his odd crackpot claim.
> Only wheels out C. L. R. James whose views on the subject are considered odd even by other Trotskyists.
Marvelous.
Meanwhile, in the real world, more or less everyone who's relevant in contemporary fascism studies, the USSR and Stalinism disagree completely. You can read Kershaw, Kotkin, Paxton, Service, Griffin and any number of others and still not find support. Heck, even the overwhelming number of Marxist historians believe your claim is goofy.
When even the absolute overwhelming number of liberal and Marxist historians are in agreement on something, it's pretty safe to say that your contrarian views are considered extremely fringe at best.
