As a Hungarian, No thanks, we don't want russian soldiers again in our country. Can't we agree on socialism without involving Russia?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago (3 children)

If Russia became socialist again, genuinely what remains to be the problem?

[–] huf@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

it would defend itself if hungary decided to invade it again, and that's just mean

The other traits and our autonomy.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What "other traits?" If you're not going to clarify, it just sounds like racism.

Mostly dictatorship. I have no problems with russian people.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

The RSFSR wasn't a dictatorship, though, and there's no reason to think they would be if Russia returned to socialism. Your comment just reads that Russians have a natural, inherent tendency towards dictatorships outside of connection to the mode of production they are in, which is why it sounds racist.

our autonomy to gleefully assist in the holocaust? their strange trait of making us stop gleefully assisting in the holocaust? you're gonna have to be less cryptic here.

I was talking about a hypothetical scenario in which Russia became socialist again. I could use our autonomy for useful things.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

oh sure, we could, but does it look like we're going to any day soon?

Russia cannot become socialist again because it never was socialist. It's official regime was "communism", but there was very little socialist about it in the way Europe is doing it now.

Public ownership was the principle aspect of the soviet economy, and the working class was in power. It was absolutely socialist, and they never claimed to reach communism. They were governed by a communist party, but were socialist. Nowhere in Europe is socialist right now, private property is the principle aspect of all European economies, with the partial exception of Belarus.

Okay, but how does this relate to the meme about prison population?

[–] fxdave@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

It's the post description

[–] huf@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

we only got russians in our country the last time because we decided to be disgusting genocidal fascists and the soviets attempted to reeducate us. alas, it didnt stick.

Preventing Hungary from participating in colonialism, including by invading Iraq and Afghanistan, is not some sort of oppression that you try to imply it to be.
