Yes, let’s ask the German government to make Stasi records spying on the private lives of citizens open and public, because it would help strangers win arguments on the internet.

You are not a very serious person, are you?

Yes sure let me just get an eight hour train to Berlin to work on your assignments, random person on the internet.

You do know that the USSR signed a trade deal with Nazi Germany even in 1940, right? When the rest of the world was already blockading Nazi Germany for… being Nazi’s. In fact, in 1940 the Soviet Union delivered about 75% of Nazi Germany’s imports, mostly in oil & steel. Stalin could’ve joined that blockade, and not supplied the necessary materials for the Nazi war machine – but he didn’t.

You can acknowledge that, and still acknowledge the USSR took the brunt of the force fighting the Nazi’s. It’s not a sports game, you don’t have to pick sides.

Mate it’s right there.

Find me an old person anywhere that isn’t nostalgic for their youth.

Please tell me how supportive Lenin was of the Workers’ Soviets as soon as the revolution got calmer.

Here you have comment, from this thread, of someone saying there’s basically no problems: https://lemmy.ml/comment/16144139

Denial of racism and abuse by the Chinese state is rampant here on Lemmy, don’t pretend otherwise.

Oh and please don’t assume my narrative. I hate the US more.

Sure, it’s all rosy. :)

A fabrication? Did you even read that pdf? I quote:

Serious human rights violations have been committed in XUAR in the context of the Government’s application of counter-terrorism and counter-“extremism” strategies. The implementation of these strategies, and associated policies in XUAR has led to interlocking patterns of severe and undue restrictions on a wide range of human rights. These patterns of restrictions are characterized by a discriminatory component, as the underlying acts often directly or indirectly affect Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim communities.
