It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

why did more Kazakhs die during the famine

That's a good point-- I'm sure it's overlooked that Stalin was committing genocide on Muslims even moreso than Ukrainians!

FYI I like Lenin just not authoritarian capitalist Stalin that caused the decline of Soviet communism.

"I'm sure I'm right, I must be! angery "
Again, come on man, no investigation, no right to speak. No one who has studied this more than you or I ever will believes it was a intentional genocide. Go read the new translation of Losurdo's Stalin, that'll do you more good than whatever it was you were going to do tomorrow.

If you like Lenin you should read about his thoughts on imperialism sometime. His works on the subject inform the views on geopolitics of the "tankies" you so despise.

(You should also read "On Authority" by Engels since you throw around the word authoritarian a lot).
