Using your own definition, the conclusion doesn't follow, what follows is that OP is a Marxist-Leninist. The concluding bit is your personal mischaracterization of Marxism-Leninism.

It's a pejorative for Marxists, usually Marxist-Leninists, in the same vein as "commie," "pinko," and "red." That's about it.

I didn't dodge either of those points. They agreed to spheres of influence that contained areas of Ukraine and Lithuania, inhabited by ethnic Ukrainians and Lithuanians, and they didn't give support, they only partially complied in a way that didn't really help.

I'm aware that France didn't do anything, the BEF wasn't deployable in time and they actively sabotaged talked of alliances leading up tk that moment.

The Soviets could not risk their lives protecting a country that hated them and starting a war they would have likely lost. The west had proven incapable of allying with the Soviets as a preventative measure. Germany would not have been less effective, if you actually checked the article I linked the impact of the Soviet's partial compliance was marginal at best.

This is all alt-history fanfic on your part. It remains true that the country that did the most to try to stop the Nazi threat before World War II, and contributed the most to stopping the Nazis during it, was the Soviet Union, and it isn’t close.

You call it a conspiracy theory, then learn that it's real and immediately leave the convo after defending slavery and theocracy. I can't really take you seriously. Read Friendly Feudalism: The Tibet Myth.

The Dalai Lama was backed by the CIA, and the mode of production was feudalist, relying on slavery and torture. The US backed anti-PRC movements here to destabilize the region, but nevertheless since the PLA liberated Tibet the Xizang autonomous region has seen massive material improvements in key quality of life metrics.

I don't think you really know what you're talking about. You listed off a bunch of buzzwords, but examined none of them. Tibet, for example, was a feudal, slave-driven country run on torture before being liberated by the PLA. It just sounds like you uncritically take the anti-PRC narrative at face value.

Same with BRI, the PRC does not leave countries with immense debt. Not only do they frequently forgive loans, but they also don't come with stipulations requiring giving up sovereignty like western loans do.

You need to step back and actually research what you're talking about, rather than just taking the US State Department at their word. People objected to your entire comment, that's why it's sitting at 9 downvotes and only your one, solitary upvote. The world would be far better off without the genocidal US Empire.

No, lmao. Socialists and fascists are entirely different, economies run with public property as the principle aspect are entirely different from economies run with private ownership as the principle aspect. Anti-communists that equate the fascists with the socialists implicilty hand the power to the fascists by demonizing the only real alternative.

The Soviets, plainly and simply, did not agree to invade Poland. That was not a part of the non-aggression pact, nor what "spheres of influence" entailed. Those were lines the other party was not meant to cross if the likely war broke out, and secondly neither party expected the other to uphold them long-term. The Soviets never intended on allying with the Nazis, non-aggression is not an alliance. You are doing historical revisionism, as much as you deride me for it.

As for the British and French, again, they did absolutely nothing of value and watched it all happen. Should the soviets have let Poland fall entirely to the Nazis? Should the soviets have launched a war they weren't ready for? Seems to me you wished the soviets were stronger than they were at the time and could have taken on a far more industrialized power with a fair degree of confidence, or otherwise let Poland fall to the Nazis and be subject to Nazi slaughter and the Holocaust.

Thanks! And from what I've gathered from my ASD friends, there's a lot in common between ASD and ADHD. They aren't the same, of course, and AuDHD is its own thing, but I've been able to relate especially well with those in my life with ASD ever since I was a kiddo.

Have a good one!

No worries! And yea, I know we don't agree 100%, but I do think we overall agree more than disagree, at least from what I can tell. Personally, I'm often posting when my ADHD is pushing me away from responsibilities like work, chores, etc so it isn't always the best for me 🫠

Reached out to finally get organized IRL though, so I managed to overcome my procrastination and social anxiety enough for that!

Yep, seems they are trying to push a big update but that the playerbase is a fraction of what it once was due to the lack of updates.

Matrix is good for communication.
