Why do many millenial marxist still use soviet iconography?

these are just 3 examples, but they are known as "tankies"..

and then most marxist go "well the soviet union wasn't really true marxism"

It's fucking weird, why are mostly white, western privileged students enamored by the Soviet Union, a brutal regime, Soviet Communism was hell for most people

because most kids are fucking stupid

Because the Soviet Union managed to take a two bit 3rd rate feudal backwater where the average person died at 30 and in just a single generation turned it into the worlds only other global superpower that sent the first man into space and crushed Nazi Germany

Go to fucking /pol/, retard.

And stay off twitter if it triggers you so much

Read the Gulag Archiapelego

The Soviet Union is so enlightened people thats why they banned genetics and promoted Lysenkoism which led to major famines in both the Soviet Union and China


but ok...yeah they were enlightened people

Sorry I don't read Fantasy novels

fantasy novels? what

yeah because some privileged westerner knows more about the Soviet Union then someone who was actually in a fucking gulag


education has really gotten worse in the west hasn't it

actually there was just a discussion about in a thread on a tech board talking about chinese companies by up german tech firms and germany being unable to stop it because of eu level trade treaties...but the relevant part was people got to talking about the japanese overexpansion in the 80s and how it led to 2+ decades of stagnation, and then someone started talking about soviet development, and how they seemed to grow so fast because it was "catch up growth", of course when you import technology from the west (the arch-conservative and mit trained engineer Koch brothers made their family fortune building oil refineries for Stalin) you can rush development for a few decades, but they never passed the west and eventually burned out, people always complain about how american airports suck etc. but consider american fucking created airplanes, of course their airports are going to be older legacy construction compared to some new shit the chinese just built in the middle of a desert two years ago...those kind of catch up projects always seem impressive at first, but it can only go so far.

This. There is no way they did anything good.

They were evil

>which led to major famines
>implying stalin didn't starve the ukrainians on purpose

It's one thing that tankies never want to talk about when they defend their glorious Soviet Union..

the fact that they literally banned Mendelian genetics because it would tear down their whole egalitarian fantasy

Yeah and where was India, Africa and South America catching up during this time?
It wasn't until the Soviet pushed Anti-Imperialism period that they managed to do so, of course a nation that stopped developing itself primarilly as a supply state for the West will have a chance to utilize its own capital for its own productive interests

tankies don't think that

>not sure if this is a clever satire of /pol/ or you're actually this fucking stupid

dude, that's the point, state capitalism can do "catch up" projects faster than free capitalism, but it's not going to surpass free market economies in the long run, otherwise the russian economy wouldn't have peaked in 1959 which is a life time ago. communism is just a new form of oriental despotism, read frankfurt school b-player karl wittfogel on this if u need to hear it from a "fellow traveller"

Exactly, Communism is good at fast rate catching up

but it never had a chance to surpass the Free Market West....not in any category what so ever

Public schools are Marxist on design and education. They were propagandized since birth and don't know it.

>thinking marxism is bad now makes you a /pol/tard
This is how fucking delusional the left has gotten

Its true though

Veeky Forums - Literature

Nice bate mate, you know tankies are the guys who spend all their time defending the Soviet Union and Sulzhenitsyn was a traditionalist shill? Go read Shalamov.

Be careful. Marxists are vicious activists.

'surpass'

(nice ideology)

Its true that anyone who thinks its bad is a /pol/tard? Jesus christ, have you ever fucking left Veeky Forums? Go outside, make friends, try reading a fucking book.

Sick burn, comrade.

>anything that doesnt conform to my delusional view of reality Ill just label fantasy
