Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink
gmtom@lemmy.world 1 week agoI took one look at you describing the “liberating” of Poland by the soviets because some of it belongs to different modern day countries and new you weren’t arguing in good faith. Invading another country and stealing their land doesn’t magically become “”“liberation”“” just because it was stolen by someone else first.
You can use this same logic to excuse the nazi invasion of certain countries as well.

No, it becomes liberation when majority-Ukrainian regions oppressed under the Polish nationalist state without any mode of representation, recognition of their language, and under bourgeois rule, instead obtain Ukrainian representation and institutions, recognition of its language. I assume you would know this since you seem to care so much about Ukrainians?

After Russia brutally suppressed their independence, then sent 10 million of them off to die to protect Russians. Which you keep wilfully ignoring.
Ukrainians didn’t want to be under Russian rule. It’s wild the mental gymnastics you’re doing to excuse Russia allying with Hitler himself to steal foreign land. So I’ll say again, the fact those regions were mistreated under Poland does mean it’s okay to invade them and colonise them.
Like you can find examples of time were colonial countries “”“liberated”“” foreign nations in much the same way, putting them under a different boot and treating them marginally better than the last guy. But if a colonial apologist gave you that argument you would (rightly) not accept it, would you?

The Secretary General Nikita Khruschyov of the Soviet Union was Ukrainian… The claims of Russification of the Soviet Union are wildly exaggerated by western sources as proven by the fact that Kazakhstan is its own country with its own culture, as are Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine, Belarus…
go ahead. Answer point by point to my comment that i showed you, I’m looking forward to that instead of vibes-based claims.
What’s the life expectancy in Russia or China vs what is it in Indonesia or Myanmar? What’s the le expectancy in Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan compared to Afghanistan or Pakistan?
