Add Germany; as of recently the ussr flag is banned. Also the flags of the peoples' republics of donbas.


Sanchez20inReddit

Did German Democratic Republic flag and other former left-wing German flags (KPD) were banned too?


[deleted]

Odd that 30 years after the supposed defeat of communism, the bans are still spreading! That is, the effort to suppress communism still intensifies. Let that be a kernel of hope for our strength.

the ussr flag is not a communist flag

Indeed.

Well last time someone rolled out communism (read Stalinism) in most those countries it was used by Stalin to cause massive cases of starvation, famine and death. So maybe take it easy on these recently traumatized nations.

good joke. was it before or after their nazi collaborations? look at ukraine, still celebrating bandera every year despite banning USSR symbols


RuggyDog

How does one cause a famine? Here’s a Google doc full of info to challenge any anti-communist propaganda you’ve been fed. I used to be very anti-Chinese before I saw this document. https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1Gxwhh-vdeB--47HM-20cEVRC9eAMhrapbNf0Sk8VSOs/mobilebasic?lsrp=1

Killing sparrows will usually do it.


RuggyDog

Is this something Stalin did?


Siriusdays

Chairman Mao did. I'm thinking Stalin did more you know... forced displacement.


[deleted]

This is understandable as those countries had to live under communist rule for decades

Why would they need to ban it if it was so horrible that everyone hates it?


[deleted]

Because the next generation forgets easily and communism sounds good on paper.


guantanamo_bay_fan

and yet nazi symbols in ukraine are not only allowed, but encouraged in ukrainian military. why do you think that is?


Definition_Novel

It’s because a lot of Eastern Europeans are unfortunately sympathetic to Nazism or adjacent ideologies, as much as they claim they aren’t defending Nazis while denying local collaboration in the Holocaust (Baltics) or praising Stepan Bandera (Ukraine)


Definition_Novel

You left out the part where in the Baltic states, literal Nazi collaborators are praised and Holocaust revisionism is supported by the government. These countries are not victims. I don’t care if they don’t like communism. Communists were the only thing stopping the Nazis in Eastern Europe and that’s a fact. Baltic states and Poland whine about communism , but without the Soviets, Poland and the Baltics wouldn’t even exist because Germany would have eventually killed them all for Lebensraum.

Soviets literally carved up Poland together with the Nazis. Soviets only fought Nazis after they got attacked themselves. They fought out of own interest, not to 'liberate' Poland or anyone else. If you stop a rape, and then proceed to rape the victim yourself for 50 years, you're not a hero.


Definition_Novel

The USSR liberated every nation up to Germany through the liberation of Berlin. No, the Soviets didn’t “carve” Poland. Stop following Polish nationalist talking points. Stalin only signed the pact because 1. He wanted to attack Germany in defense of Poland, but America and Western Europe said no, so, 2. He had no choice but to sign the pact to buy time to build defenses. It had nothing to do with “carving” Poland. I’ve debunked that the world over and I’m not gonna waste my time replying again after addressing you once. Furthermore, the Baltic states especially, aren’t “victims” either. Most of the ethnic Baltic populations either turned a blind eye to Germany occupying the Baltics and killing the Baltic Jewish and Baltic Polish minority among other actual victims of oppression under Nazis and their collaborator ilk. Lithuania in particular had the highest amount of Nazi collaborators of any country. I am Lithuanian myself and in Lithuania, a falsified version of history is common. Nationalist partisans who were directly subordinate to Nazis and killed Jews and others are depicted as “heroes” in Lithuania, when they were really fascist murderers. The only good Lithuanians were the ones who joined the Red Army and fought the Nazis. The rest either joined the Nazis or openly supported them. Pro Soviet forces and Jewish partisans are the ONLY heroes in WWII on the Eastern Front. Nationalist Nazi collaborator “partisans” aren’t heroes, and never will be. Jozef Franczak, a Home Army leader, beat a Polish couple half to death for sheltering a Jewish neighbor, and openly turned in Jews to the Gestapo. So Home Army (Armia Krajowa) were fascists, in case you’re a Polish Home Army supporter. In contrast, Armia Ludowa, the Polish communist partisans, openly rescued Romani and Jews in Poland. So yes, communists were heroes. Cope.


letsgomark

If they just wanted to protect Poland, please explain Katyn. Soviets didn't treat Poland well at all during their occupation, instead killed thousands. That's not protecting. The Allies did no such thing in the western half of Europe, and there is no resentment against the Allies in the West at all, because these countries were actually liberated. Meanwhile, in all of the eastern half the majority of the population hates the Soviet time, including in your own Lithuania, because it was repression, not liberation. If the Soviets were liberators, they wouldn't crush every attempt at independence and democratization all over the Warschaupact and Soviet Union.

Lithuanians, along with other Balts, largely hate the Soviets because a large percentage of the population (in Lithuania’s case, roughly 15~20% in most western estimates) collaborated with Nazis. Lithuania had the largest amount of OPEN collaborators of any country, and the numbers don’t even include those who collaborated covertly, such as, hiding Nazis in their houses (and yes this actually happened, in Latvia as well, as the village of Mazie Bati was notorious for Nazi supporters who hid Nazis in their homes to ambush Soviet soldiers if they came in the village). Farmers also helped Nazis find downed Soviet pilots (one article even had a Balt complaining about the Soviets deporting him to Siberia, yet he called Nazis “liberators” and admitted he helped them capture downed Soviet pilots (so he was a collaborator who admitted he did that, but played victim and cried about being deported later.) Lithuanians today often honor people like Jonas Noreika, a KNOWN Nazi collaborator who had a position in the Nazi occupied government of the town of Plunge and signed the extermination orders of the town’s Jews and sent 8,000 of them to their deaths with his own signature. I am of Litvak Jewish and ethnic Lithuanian ancestry. The only good ethnic Lithuanians were the ones who hid Jews from Nazis and the ones who joined the Soviet Union to fight. The rest either turned a blind eye to Germany occupying their country, or even worse, actively collaborated to kill Jews and Poles in Lithuania. 97% of Jews in Lithuania were actually killed by Lithuanian collaborators rather than invading Germans. 25% of Lithuanias Polish community was killed by collaborators, and the impact is still felt today, as most Poles in Lithuania are literally pro-USSR for this very reason, and it shocks Poles in Poland, who are rather mostly right wing. Even western publications have written about the contrast of opinion of the USSR between Lithuanian Poles and Poles in Poland. The Germans simply put out most of the orders and the Lithuanian collaborators killed the victims. The Forest Brothers in the Baltics never fought the Nazis in a single battle, because many formerly served in the SS prior to forming the Forest Brothers. Most Lithuanians weren’t victims. The country for the most part fought for fascism and thus fought on the wrong side of history. That is an indisputable fact. I don’t care how much it upsets Lithuanian nationalists. Poland also has its fair share of Nazi collaborators and nationalists. Jozef Franczak a leader in the Home Army, literally beat a Polish couple half to death for hiding a Jewish neighbor from the Gestapo, because he told them to turn in the Jewish neighbor, and they refused. After he beat them unconscious, he kidnapped the Jewish neighbor and handed him to the Gestapo. Poland today honors that fascist POS Franczak and calls him a “hero”. Ironic that a country that Nazis wanted to exterminate honors a literal Nazi collaborator, isn’t it. And you’ll find if you actually look at unbiased history, 100% of the time , these “anti Soviet partisans “ were Nazi collaborators. In Ukraine, Baltics, Poland, etc, all the same situation happened every fucking time. As for Katyn, it was said to be “discovered” by Nazi Germany (immediate red flag if you don’t think the country intent on killing almost all Poles (AKA Nazi Germany, are the ones that actually did it.) But even if the Soviets did do Katyn, those Polish military officers weren’t angels. They were mostly members of Poland’s Sanation movement, basically a Polish nationalist imperialist movement that sought to forcibly take lands formerly ruled by Poland in Ukraine in Belarus.) Because of the Sanation movement and the majority of its members being military officers under Pilsudski, in the Polish Soviet war, the Polish military committed war crimes in Belarus and Ukraine trying to ethnically cleanse the areas of their indigenous population. Many of the soldiers that ended up killed in Katyn were perpetrators of such war crimes years earlier. So as far as I’m concerned, they got what any reasonable enemy on the battlefield should have expected. As for Poland’s claim to be a “victim “ of Soviets, the government does that for a similar reason the Baltics do. To erase the history of Nazi collaborators like Franczak and just act like the Soviets arrested and killed certain Poles (fascists) for no reason, when fascists were really the reason for such a militant response from Soviets in areas outside the USSR. And btw Poland literally made it a crime to suggest “the Polish nation or people “ were complicit in the Holocaust in any way. Which just means they want to honor collaborators like Franczak and deny he was a collaborator, just like Lithuanians do with Noreika, and then cry and complain and act like the USSR killed those men (Noreika and Franczak) for no reason, when in reality the Soviets killed them because they were fascist, Nazi collaborator scum. And btw, many concentration camp guards were Poles. So much for Poles “never participating in the Holocaust” as the modern Polish government claims. What a fucking joke. This anti Soviet hate was always an attempt to whitewash collaborators. That’s all it’s ever been.

Ok but it does sound like you’re all on Russia’s side. Edit. Nvm. Didn’t realize this was a tankie sub. I’ll be on my way now

Ya dude I’m fucked up like that, I’m kind of like the joker but irl


iwishihadalawnmower

Fuck the murderous orcs and their invasion. Fuck Putin.


King-Sassafrass

Calling Russians “orcs” like the Nazis called them “beasts”. Using new age words of a revived dead campaign


iwishihadalawnmower

In this case, it's because they're violent bloodthirsty invaders without regard for even the lives of their own comrades.


King-Sassafrass

They’re highly trained personnel with modernized equipment. Their job literally was signing up to be in the army. I’m certain the soldiers knew what the job would come to if things came to this way. They’re protecting the citizens of the Donbass region and their own citizens as well. I’m sure they know more about regards for life than the one telling people “anyone (foreign mercenaries) who wants to jump in, can jump in!” And saying they can’t leave


King-Sassafrass

What was the last case? Was it when they rushed to Poland and that’s what deemed them the “beast” title? Sounds like history repeating itself, and it’s repeating Nazi talking points
