Ah yes, equating a working class movement that uplifted hundreds of millions from poverty and killed 85% of the Nazis in World War II with a genocidal bourgeois reaction that murdered tens of millions out of racial, sexual, ableist, and political supremacy. Gotta love historical nihilism and horseshoe theory.
Socialist movements have provided healthcare, education, literacy programs, doubled life expectancy in Russia and China, and far more. The vast majority of those who lived in the USSR regret the fall of socialism. The vast majority of Chinese citizens approve of their system.
Further, it’s the Kim family, Un is half of Kim Jong-Un’s given name. The fact that you have no clue how Korean names work yet feel confident in speaking about it is just chauvanism, same with your racist rant against Russians.
Finally, the Soviet Union was neither fascist nor imperialist. Fascism supports private property and the bourgeoisie, socialism supports the proletariat and collectivized property. They are opposites. Read Blackshirts and Reds.
The entire project of MKUltra was the US trying and failing to prove brainwashing exists. The fact of the matter is that socialists support socialist systems because of the benefits they provide, like greater access to healthcare and education, and more democratization than capitalist systems. It isn’t blind loyalty, but a genuine belief based on material improvements in their lives as compared to previous conditions that results in citizens of socialist countries defending their system. The same applies for USians that defend the genocidal imperialist US regime.
As for the name-correction, I pointed it out because anyone who has spent more than 5 seconds learning about Korea in general knows that Kim Jong-Un’s father was Kim Jong-Il, and Kim Il-Sung his father. If you’re trying to critique the persistence of the Kim family in the DPRK’s politics yet don’t even know their names, it’s abundantly clear that you have no clue what you’re talking about and have done no study, no reading. All you have is chauvanism. You cannot critique the DPRK based on vibes, you need to actually study it, otherwise your critique is just based on personal feelings of superiority.
Yes, the Soviet Union liberated many areas, but millitary intervention isn’t imperialism. Imperialism is a method of economic extraction. The US and western Europe are imperialist becayse they use their vast financial capital to expropriate vast sums of wealth from the global south, the USSR never practiced that, nor could it, as its economy wasn’t based on financial capital but public ownership and collective planning. The majority of people who lived in the Soviet Union want it back.
Please, read a book. I linked several articles and books for you to serve as a good start, right now you’re just proving the meme correct with your far-right chauvanism driving all of your points. You’re so far-right even Wikipedia is too “woke” for you for showing that “brainwashing” doesn’t exist and was just an invention of the CIA during the Cold War.
Aw come on mods, I wanted to see what Mr. I Don’t Have a Concept of What Different Words Mean had to say. I’m sure it was something super smart and enlightening.

Read Blackshirts and Reds. Quit it with the Holocaust minimization.
Yes indeed, providing for all is basically the same as genocide.

“Brainwashing” as a concept doesn’t exist. People license themselves to believe that which benefits them is good. The concept of “brainwashing” was invented by an American to justify why people support socialism. Read Masses, Elites, and Rebels: The Theory of “Brainwashing.”

You literally opened this thread by comparing socialists to fascists.
The hate is just fueled by the capitalist US empire, you should not continue to spread it
