- Abandoned korenizatsiya to go back to the empire’s policy of Russification
Almost like we could take the best ideas, discard the worst, improve on the “meh” from both systems and try something new.
That’d be good, but that would also require folks to openly discuss the flaws within communist nations, and try to think up new solutions. Neither of those things seem to be happening.
Edit: rather, no group seems to be doing the second thing. One side criticises, the other refutes. No admission of failures is reached, nor solutions sought.
Nailed it. When we refuse to face our demons, guess who’s running the show? We confront the worst parts of ourselves and figure out how to address, rather than lean into, supress, repress, we make progress. When we lift ourselves, others are lifted.

Yeah but what do Hegelian dialectics have to do with Marxism?
Lenin’s reputation is way way too positive in the eyes of a lot of otherwise reasonable leftists. I think they just haven’t read the details of all the horrific shit he did. It wasn’t all that different from Stalin, they just hadn’t yet reached their full blossoming yet under Lenin.

Don’t worry, being unemployed or homeless was illegal in the Soviet Union too.
Now they are implementing the wrong think gulag too!
