Comrade, think of your social credits! Don’t criticize the oppression oppression (that doesn’t exist!)

If Q as in Queue bothers you, you better check what C stands for.

Same for D. And Y. And W.

Yes, muscovites just made friends, that’s not imperialism. Sakha just wanted to give it’s oil and minerals to Moscow. Yakutia just wanted desperately to learn Russian. It’s not imperialism if there are no boats involved!

Estonia? Now their GDP per capita is not 20% higher, it’s 200% higher than Russia. Yes, triple as high. Obviously Russia was robbing them blind, and holding them back. Same as most other republics and Warsaw pact nations. GDP explosions after ditching the red parasite.

Ukraine had borders just fine when Soviets invaded them. If not for the war they lost against Poland in 1920 they would have kept invading and repressing nations. Belorussian language is almost extinct nowadays after all the russification. Same for Ukrainian in Eastern Ukraine.

French killed 1 million Algerians? Rookie numbers, they should have learned from the holodomor.

My point is: it’s not technically correct, it’s just plain correct. Plenty of people I know go for cycling tours of Europe, packing food and sleeping in tents. Some do two weeks hiking.

Travel is not only flying to the other end of the world and eating fancy food cooked for you by hired chefs… you can travel basically free if you adjust your expectations.

You can travel by hitchhiking (free), walking (free), cycling (one bike costs) or even by volunteering on a ship (you might even earn money). You can sleep in a tent or couchsurfing or on said ship.

Everybody immediately goes to restaurants, transcontinental flights and hotels, of course you need money for that, but that’s exactly not the point.

Yes, holodomor is western propaganda.

Walking, biking and couchsurfing is free. In most countries camping is free too.

It’s not travel in your (and to be honest, most people in the comments) preferred version. The OP never mentioned luxuries, or even comfort. The point is that if what you really want to travel, you most probably can, independent of your financial situation.

Nobody said it isn’t.

It is traveling and it doesn’t require lots of money.

ITT: but first class tickets and 5 star hotels cost money!!!

Basically no one understands the message.

Anti imperialism? How did they become the largest country on earth?

Respect of minorities? Tell that to the tens of thousands of people executed in forests. Or starved to death. Because of their identity.

Industrial development? Yes, current Russia having an economy the size of Italy is a testament to that.

Plenty of countries have free education and Healthcare.

With the slight clarification that communists will redifine oppressors at their will, making them effectively the same in practice.

• You are a worker that doesn’t support the movement? Class traitor, gulag.

• You made a joke about dear leader? Traitor, gulag.

• You would like free elections? Foreign agent, gulag.

Replaced Nazism in Europe*

For safety, or for power.

Spanish Head of State looking nervously around the room right now…

Those that people around me do not approve:

• Die Antwoord - Doosdronk
• Afroman - Randy Walters is a son of a bitch
• A capella science - rolling in the Higgs
• Tom Cardy - Je suis fatigué
• Dale Mehndi - Tunak Tunak Tun
• Keddi Kosár - Mi Vagyunk Magyar Peter (Mulatós version)

You doubt there will be people that will? Have you heard of scientologists? Have you heard of flat earthers? Antivaxxers? All of them basing their core ideals on stuff explicitly marked as bogus.

Where do you get all LLMs from?

We are on lemmy, not Harvard.

So, same as (some) people.
