    You’re the one conflating Nazis with the very people who did the world the service of defeating them so I think that very thing about YOU right now. Did certain communist organizations overstep their bounds and even commit crimes against humanity? Yes, tragically. And that’s disgusting. Did that happen on anywhere near the scale that Fascists did, or that the current capitalist class IS CURRENTLY DOING?? Not even close, not even in the same galaxy. What you’re condemning is the exception for communism and the rule for capitalism, and I condemn it as well.

    Yes. Turns out smearing communism is very lucrative for powerful people. And no, the only communists that set foot in concentration camps were prisoners there alongside Jews, homosexuals, Romani, and other minorities. EDIT: forgot to mention the communists who liberated the camps too

    Funny that you bring up East Germany, since they had some of the best living standards in all of Europe in general. Universal healthcare, right to a job, free daycare AND over a year of maternity AND paternity leave?? Come on. The Berlin Wall was to stop tourism and trade as a tactic in the cold war, it’s not like people were fleeing to West Germany (where many former Nazis were still in power) in droves. Dubious morally for sure, but not what you claim it to be. Maybe that random politician you’re quoting benefitted from the corrupt system he was endorsing? In the words of Assata Shakur, don’t let your enemies tell you who your enemies are,

    And when people who actually lived in these area during that period almost ALL of them say communism was better! But OP and their ilk would rather focus on the imaginary eastern Europeans in their head, or perhaps the gusanos whose family ‘fled’ to the west after their fiefdom got collectivized




  • I personally love this album. Might even be my album of the year so far. I never blame people for not liking Billy Woods’ music though bc it is demanding and I’m often just not in the mood. I am surprised to hear someone call Kenny Segal’s production boring though. The subject matter of Woods’ bars here, contemplating the end times, romanticizing his melancholic solitude while on tour and evaluating his relationships, just hits for me and makes it easier to listen to. I’d disagree with calling him a ‘lyrical miracle’ type because he doesn’t compromise on the content of his lyrics to jam in SAT words or obnoxious internal rhymes. And don’t even get me started on the features on this album they’re all gas, especially ELUCID’s verses. Billy Woods has become my favorite rapper over the past 3-4 years with this wildly consistent and prolific run and I really hate to hit you with the “it’s an acquired taste” line but his style really has grown on me more than I thought it would. This albums a 10/10
