          This is the result of someone who has not once even grazed the same room as someone engaging with theory not to mind engaging with it themselves trying to have a gotcha moment.

          What are you talking about getting rid of “power” that is absolutely 100% not the communist stance. Communists don’t even advocate for the abolition of government but for the withering of the state which is a separate apparatus that exists fused with the government in class society.

          WHY are supposed anarchists always so pro-capitalist and pro-fascist??

          Every time you lot will listen fiercely to what Amerika has to say about its enemies and you religiously believe it hard. Why?

            Reporter: [REDACTED]
            Reason: left unity

            That’s not a rule here. Don’t waste our time reporting things that aren’t breaking any rules.

              The only source for this about Beria is a guy named Simon Sebag Montefiore. He’s famous for 4 things:

              • Being a loud and proud anti-communist

              • Being best friends with Ghislaine Maxwell

              • Being in the Epstein Files

              • Lying about having access to unreleased Soviet Archives

              Now maybe it’s true but given the source it’s not exactly someone I’d take at their word.

                  Robin Shepard

                  Have a linknid like to see what he cites (I’m not optimistic given his history though he held fellowships with a number of leading think tanks in the United States and Europe including the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the German Marshall Fund of the United States).

                  Amy Knight

                  A link so I can check their citation would again be greatly appreciated (however again I’m not optimistic given their toes to the American “think-tank” circuit).

                  But not being optimistic is no reason not to check. I just have a feeling they likely cite who I think they do (or possibly they don’t cite at all) but we’ll see.
