Some people just seem to need the lies to be true 🤷 Back when I was a bog-standard Western liberal like almost everyone else, I believed all the same crap, but at least I didn’t build my personality around it.

I know that after my death a pile of rubbish will be heaped on my grave, but the wind of History will sooner or later sweep it away without mercy. – I. V. Stalin, 1943
many farmers who weren’t Kulaks were still branded enemies of the state to deport them and kill off Ukranian independence and culture
If the USSR was trying to kill their culture, they weren’t very good at it, because Ukrainians are still speaking Ukrainian to this day.
It is clear they were not trying to preserve Ukranian culture
but to subvert and replace it and use the valuable agricultural land.
No shit. That’s the point of socialism: to expropriate bourgeois private property and redistribute it to the masses.
The Kulaks’ “culture” was to slave-drive peasants into farming their land for them. That’s culture that should be killed just as the Confederates’ “cuture” was.
We are seeing years of coordinated effort to undermine and control America and Europe.
This isn’t (only) some nefarious Israeli plot. Capitalist states are oligarchies, and the US is the imperial hegemon. The tail isn’t wagging the dog, and the US is largely undermining it’s legitimacy itself. Israel is the US’ unsinkable aircraft carrier in West Asia, and were there not an Israel, the US would have to invent an Israel. This is business as usual.
