There were no good guys in the cold war.

I wish I could just completely block anything from hexbear, no matter where I go you guys are pushing your toxic agenda.

You hate seeing hexbear users, so you took the considered and well-thought tactic of directly replying to one to whine about them. That'll stop you from seeing more of them, for sure!

Yes, just like criticizing capitalism on an online forum will bring about communism!

You must be confused, Hexbear is a forum for shitposting not bringing about communism. Real world organizing is for bringing about communism. Hope this clears that up!

Did you know that at it's peak the USSR gulag system had more than a million citizens imprisoned, which worked for scraps, receiving little to no pay?
Oh wait actually that's the US current day, my bad.

Also posting isn't praxis. I hope you don't think you're actually doing anything on this website. Organizing is for the real world!

Lmao life expectancy rising goes brr. Women gaining independence goes brr. Advancements in the sciences goes brr. Life quality improvements goes brr. Going from a rural peasant state ruled by a monarchy to a modern country within few decades, while the same process took centuries for the capitalist states goes brr. USSR

The people that ended malnutrition among their people and brought us into space are toxic?
