There’s no reason to lie but the left does it regularly

This type of nonsense makes my blood boil. Do better, leftists. You make your entire community look bad when you say white supremacist things like this.

Screenshot from Optimist Communist on Facebook where they shared a post from Existential Comics that reads: “The Soviet Union: goes from a backwards agrarian society to the space age in 50 years, while almost single-handedly defeating the Nazis. The American educational system: “communism doesn’t work because people will be lazy and not bother to accomplish anything.” Below it shows 770 reactions, almost entirely likes and loves. There are 252 comments and 416 shares.

Your casual racism is seen and noted by the whole world, or are you unaware that the Global South is also online these days? Maybe you thought they were kept safely ignorant of the things you say.

You don’t command this internet anymore, Global North Supremacists.

My reply: “Thanks for erasing the contribution of the entire Global South to WWII, particularly India which gave the largest or second largest volunteer army in all of WWII and held the line from the very beginning until the very end. And you erased that contribution all so that you could pretend the Soviet Union won the second world war except they only fought the Nazis after first ALLYING WITH THEM. And even then, they only fought the Nazis after Hitler broke his alliance with with Stalin.
Screenshot from my comment replying to Optimistic Communist’s post. Included at bottom is a link to my article on the Hindu ancestors who fought WWI and WWII. This is information about Hitler and Stalin’s alliance.

*sidenote* I’m the only one who angry reacted to Optimistic Communist’s post. Everyone else either liked it or loved it. That tells you everything you need to know about the racism, white supremacy, and ignorance of their own history inherent on the left. Be very careful before you listen to them about anything.

The map below is of the Iron Curtain. It’s how the Allies and the Soviet Union carved up Europe after WWII. This set the stage for many conflicts happening today that we all have to pay the price for with our taxes and our peace…
