I believed in all the free market bullshit, thought that the problems in my country are because we are not as developed a society as the west and that we need to do more things like them, believed that austerity measures were a necessary evil because "le economy" naturally requires harder times when it's not going well.

The real problems are a combination of many things, some of which are heavy imperialist exploitation of my country, uneven growth of capitalism, monopolies taking over local production, and the usual good old capitalism that is true for every capitalist regime.

"We defeated the Nazis, we can't be that evil"

Even this couldn't be further from the truth. They had no problem whatsoever allying with the fucking Nazis to take down their common enemy, the communists. Because the communists, unlike the fascists, pose a real threat to their rotting system based on exploitation, if left unhindered it would mean an end to their glorious days of being the modern slave owners. But the fascists only posed a geopolitical threat, their ideology goes along just fine with capitalism, that's why we still see Nazis get standing ovations to this day while communists are being witch hunted.

Martial arts are really fun and great exercise! They also do a really good job as a confidence boost towards other people.

I don't know if it's a thing or not, but I also notice that they tend to attract people with a sense of comradery, helping one another improve and work through mistakes.

Solidarity to the self organizing road repair proletariat order-of-lenin

 

He is a right leaning lib and heavily anticommunist. Every damn thing capitalists say about communism ends up being a confession, in this case living with many unknown people in an apartment.

 

The representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, responded to the statements of the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, regarding the Russian attack on Odessa. "He called Russia an enemy of Europe," notes Zakharova in her post on Telegram. "First, we did not terrorize and do not terrorize Greece or anyone else. You won't find a single example. Second, Europe was different. The Third Reich was also Europe. For such a Nazi Europe we will always be an enemy", adds the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry. And he continues: "Thirdly, in my Soviet/Russian school, in the usual music lesson for each of our students, I went through the works of Mikis Theodorakis. I knew both his music and his fate. He was also an enemy of Europe, of Nazi Europe." M. Zakharova concludes: "Don't betray, Kyriakos, the memory of the Greek Resistance!".

Russia may not be what the USSR ever was and doesn't deserve the credit for it, but this response is probably the best she could have given and shows how the Soviets respected Greek culture more than the Greek government ever will.

 
 

He's so brave standing up for Ukraine and Israel, what a hero billionaire-tears

 

Ice cream sandwich? I thought you hated capitalism smuglord

 

Libs will see these absolute dystopian images and think they're positive without thinking twice about the factors that led to them, but will see Soviet mass housing and say "omg this is so ugly, I'd kill myself if I lived there"

 

spoilerbecause it's reactionary

 
 

Widely considered one of the most significant and influential figures of the 20th century, Lenin was the posthumous subject of a pervasive personality cult within the Soviet Union until its dissolution in 1991. He became an ideological figurehead behind Marxism–Leninism and a prominent influence over the international communist movement. A controversial and highly divisive historical figure, Lenin is viewed by his supporters as a champion of socialism, communism, anti-imperialism and the working class, while his critics accuse him of establishing a totalitarian dictatorship that oversaw mass killings and political repression of dissidents.
