(In a discussion about a Soviet propaganda poster decrying colonialism.)
["Ironic considering the history the the USSR."]
The USSR colonized who again? Oh right, no one.
["So i guess the Baltic conquest never happened?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovietization_of_the_Baltic_states
Or the conquest of Eastern Poland, Ukraine, Bessarabia, Armenia, Caucasia, Ingria and the subsequant Russification of each of those territories?"]
Freeing countries from the Nazis isn't colonization. I'm unaware of a "colony" where all the people get free housing, food, clothing, a guaranteed job from their alleged "colonizers", and where all industry is nationalized and controlled by the people. But somehow when all the industry was privatized with US assistance in the 1990s, that's "freedom". And that article cites Robert Conquest, a total fraud and propagandist who counts dead Nazis as "victims of Communism", and cites Nazi lies and Nazi propaganda as evidence of "communist terror".

Yeah, remember when the British and Americans freed France, and then controlled it for over 40 years? Oh wait.

You don't know much about Colonialism then. Or the Soviet Union.

Well, except for Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, the Baltic countries, Belarus and others I am surely forgetting.

Well, then, the OP is unaware of the "oeuvre civilisatrive" France led.
where all industry is nationalized and controlled by the people.
Cue Tom Hardy: "and we give it to you, the people."
So that the people can starve while knowing they are in power. [/sarcasm]

As I recall USSR stood for Union of Soviet Satellites Republic. They were areas and countries conquered and colonized by Soviet Russia. If you have at least a high school education you'd know you were wrong.

Seems you are unaware of a lot of things but didn't stop you from saying anything and exposing that
@2114277
It stands for Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, actually. In theory all the republics were equally represented. But yeah, you're right, the other republics of the USSR were basically taken over by Russia and Russified. Ukraine and Estonia are prime examples of this. (One third of Estonia's population is Russian to this day and Russian is so commonplace in Ukraine that a pidgin of the two languages exists.)
Also, all the Eastern Bloc countries weren't exactly voluntary allies either.
Fucking tankies, how do they work?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
