ok, this was not an easy find. pretty much most of the maps out there on internet show soviet union map like the way that soviets officially stated until breakup.

i don't subscribe to that because like i said before, i believe soviet union was a russian empire. although russians did not go all the way to occupy much of china or southeast asian countries like vietnam or burma, russians pretty much bankrolled those countries' military for half a century and they were taking the marching orders from kremlin.

china liked to present themselves as if ccp was unrelated, but in reality, ccp was entirely supported by soviets immediately after ww2 to take over china (soviets in fact bankrolled & gave military training to the chinese nationalists, kmt, also, yeah, soviets hedged their bets).

although iran never was communistic, it's really debatable for also being armed by soviet union.

i did not include other countries outside of the land mass like cuba only because i didn't want the map to look too spread out.

and so this map to me is more accurate up to '70s until ccp decided to befriend united states with nixon, which in my opinion is the single biggest geopolitical blunder of american politics, 2nd would be trump (both gop, bicostal).

my next search is a better situation map of ukraine. i don't like any of the maps i see on the web right now. i hope i find one eventually.

i'll be looking for one that's showing railroads, more russian cities around the border, present frontlines, and some topographic info including rivers.

editorial addition: russians bankrolled other country's communist regime on the backs of the countries that soviet union occupied during ww2. think about it, those countries had no vested interest to arm north korea, ccp china, vietnam, afghanistan, and none of them did any good until they started to open up their countries.

none of those fringe communist countries ever thanked poland, hungary, ukraine, georgia, or czechoslovakia-and the reason is -> they knew it was always about getting russians to help them by squeezing the other soviet states.

That's interesting about the Soviets.

As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use cameras because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.

The only appropriate way to spend St. Patrick’s Day is to continue to stand up against the occupation and oppression of all people around the world. 🇵🇸🇮🇪

It is bizarre that this serial liar and adulterer, with three divorces under his belt, is implying that a divine "message" is being sent to nonexistent "communist states" in the U.S.

If there was ever a "message" that perhaps Giuliani and his supporters should have heeded, it would have been the hair-dye-dripping-down-Giuliani's-face incident.

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani said "the communist states are getting earthquakes" and suggested this means "somebody's sending us a message" after a rare and unexpected 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit New York City on Friday (April 5).

Giuliani, who is a close friend and ally of Donald Trump, made this claim during his Friday show of America's Mayor Live, which was broadcast on YouTube and Twitter/X.

It’s MAGA vs almost everyone else…NeoCons, RINOs, Socialists, Communists, Democrat Socialists, Democrats, Nazis, Fascists, Totalitarians, the New World Order, the Deep State, the “Save our Democracy from Trump” crowd, the Corporate Media, WEF, UN, WHO, Big Pharma, Big Farma, Big Food, Big Candy, Big Pesticide. It’s a fight for our lives and our health.

Still don’t believe me? Listen to this guy.

As an immigrant who was born and raised in a communist country: Please, you are a socialist, not a communist. The hammer and sickle symbol is as triggering as the rising sun flag, you can't even imagine how many of my people died under it. Things have meanings. Communist regimes have never been democratic. Learn your history, please.

Gutpunch reminder that both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party in the United States are right-wing parties

The Republican Party realized that they no longer need to use euphemisms and can explicitly be fascist because bigots are now the base

The Democratic Party realized that they no longer need to advocate against genocide and just need to use public relations to mask fascism because neoliberals are now the base

The government of the United States of America is a fascist government and needs to be replaced

apparently i make these for every fandom im obsessed with !!practically an expert at this point tbh

[workersolidarity]

Literally, your "democratic" government would rather fuck up the entire world with Imperialism than to have Americans realize their government can do more for them.

And THAT is why Actually-Existing Socialist countries cannot be allowed to survive and prosper.

I could be normal or I could go on long rants about why the police and the entire police system are evil and corrupt in a manner that scares normies. Guess which one I am?
