You can’t make this up…
So I tried to look up the top image and all I could find (besides this exact same meme posted over and over again by conservative idiots) was articles about the image seemingly showing that those poor laborers in the image are actual fucking Wehrmacht prisoners of war in the USSR. The stories also literally describe how they were treated fairly well, some quotes:
Wolfgang Morel recalls that he was treated very well in Soviet captivity, and warmly recalls the time he spent in the Red Army hospital in Vladimir. ““They treated us like their people.”
[He] recalls how once he was offered to go to the anti-fascist school. “I didn’t hesitate for a long time, because I actually treated Russians very well after all that they had done for me. Mentally, I increasingly went over to the side of those who captured me, ”admits Morel.
“I always remember Vladimir. Vladimir is the second homeland for me, ”said Derr.
For comparison: German atrocities committed against Soviet prisoners of war
The only fucking thing these dipshits get right is that they identify with the nazi soldiers
good work with the research. I remember a similar meme years ago showing a Nazi mass grave sight and blaming the communists. Its more Nazi false equivalence nonsense.
I remember having to listen to and rehash holidomore. Something that was meaningless constant noise, only to find out at the start of this war that it was an overly funded Ukrainian Psyop all along.
I’m sure there’s plenty of teenagers left eager to wage the struggle against this endless deludge; for me, its just the howling of an old man who long ago lost his credibility and dignity. The US and the West is quickly losing it’s prestige, and as it does all the crazy things we think matter less and less.
It’s like fighting on the winning side of a war that’s already won. Who cares that the West are idiots? They don’t matter anymore. That reality is the real point we should be pushing on ourselves and those outside of Marxism Leninism.
Anti-communism and fascism being hand-in-hand? Impossible!
Whats wrong with the top pic I just see people working in a field.
I thought they are digging trench in WW2, but whoever made this is trying to present it like: gulag bad forced labor
That was my first impression too. I just saw people at work; which of course, would be a terrifying prospect for the more gentle classes.
Visual cues. People working in a remote area on a grainy black-and-white photograph is automatically associated with concentration camps and forced labour, because your brain makes this connection once you learn about the Nazis at school or during a TV documentary. It is the same mechanism through which people are scared of a yellow barrel with a radiation symbol, even once they realise it only contains pencils and papers which were used in the control room of a nuclear power plant and were put inside there due to nuclear regulations
Where are all these college students that love communism so much that rightoids are always crying about?
In my experience, most are some sort of “centrist”, not very politically literate, or just shitlibs.
Or if they are anything, incredibly annoying anarchists
of course they mention college students in their argument…
Communism is when black and white
In my experience most college students are liberal
Communism is when people are working apparently
Wow, not using the images of nazi death camps this time, what a progress.
now they just be trying really hard to make communists badass unintentionally. wtf libs.
