Non-human animals are an oppressed class. In fact, they are one of the most brutally oppressed classes in the world.

It is infuriating to me how many once socialist parties in Europe are run completely by neoliberals

They don’t ask for anything more than a fat juicy paycheck from the Mossad.

Well since we’re talking about 1956, I’ll point out that it was not under Stalin that the Soviet Union sent troops into Hungary, but under Khrushchev, who denounced Stalin.

How are you defining “tankie” here. Because a lot of those honest communists would also probably be called that today.

There are many whom I know and grew up around, who lived through and took part in this event. Some joined for the right reasons, some not. Some are good at heart, some think they deserve more than others, and are fine with tyranny so long as they benefit from it. And all of them are my family. (End)

That man was then strung up by his feet and disembowelled alive. Some bystanders gathered and cheered as the man bled and spilt his life out. This is but an example of the depravity of the time…(6)

The uprising was in fact violent. Both sides of the conflict used violence as a means to achieve their goals. My grandfather recounted an event when he and a few other men were attacking a police station. Two ÁVH were inside. One was shot during the attack, but the other was dragged out…(5)

It is also true however, that fascists, reactionaries, and western-influenced actors attempted to co-opt the uprising. To this day, right-wingers in Hungary try to claim the event as their own. The fascist elements of society didn’t just disappear after the defeat of the Nazis and Arrowcross…(4)

Indeed, some of if not the most targeted victims of the regime were in fact members of the party itself, such as Rajk László. The party leadership felt far more threatened by their own comrades than any other group. Honest communists were silenced and eliminated…(3)

It started as an attempt to create an alternative form of socialism. The uprisers had no intention of returning the land and factories to private hands. At the same time, it cannot be overstated how the MDP (ruling party) had become completely overrun with opportunists and careerists…(2)

The 1956 uprising is often characterised as either a heroic revolution against tyranny or a reactionary counterrevolution. But the reality is far more complicated. No particular political position can be attributed to it because there wasn’t any such thing…(1)

Probably because socialism does help the people. Also fuck Truman.
