Yes, communism is freedom and democracy.

this is your opinion, but in fact the matter is certainly debatable

It's not just one person's opinion. It is the opinion of a person who lived during the time of communism.

Yes, communism is freedom and democracy.

Good evening,

Communism, as practiced by the USSR, was oppression and genocide.

do you think that because more than one person thinks something, it is not debatable? have you somehow failed to realise that there are also many people who absolutely disagree with you?

Yes, communism is freedom and democracy.

Yeah, and Adolf Hitler is the most loveable figure in the world. My family had lived under communist regime and if given chance, I'll tell them where to shove their ideology. But yeah, it's debatable.

This is a lie spread by modern government. In fact subjected to repressions in the USSR only the guilty in various atrocities and crimes. I certainly do not exclude the possibility of judicial error, but this share was small.

Moreover repression concerned only the initial period of the existence of the USSR.

More than 80% of the USSR's population voted in a referendum for preservation of the USSR.

This is the opinion of my people.

Well, the king of Afghanistan was toppled by Daud i a military coup in 1973. Daud was toppled in a military coup in 1978 by marxist. Daud was popular among the populace, but the marxist didnt like him.. The marxist were not popular among the western countries and maybe not among the religious people of Afghanistan. Trouble was stirring and the "democratic" government of Afghanistan begged the Soviets for support.

To say communism is equal to freedom and democracy might be considered "new speak" by some. Read "1984" by George Orwell.
(I also observe that mr. Putin has changed "Volvograd" back to "Stalingrad". An ominous sign.) It might seem you either are trolling or or you have been influenced 30 years ago by state propaganda.

Daud was popular among the populace,

On the basis of what You are doing such statements? Daud was not elected during the elections, there was no referendum.

he dissolved the Parliament and the Supreme court. He was a tyrant and usurper.

Was there ever a true democratic election in Afghanistan? Ever? I think not. In my opinion (which does not matter) Afghanistan should be left alone. Let the tribal system rule as before. Let the Taiban take over if that is the way its going. No matter how many resources we throw at that country it will not become a stable "western" democracy. Bomb the Taliban now and then to keep the drones fit.

1. Yes there were. For tribal democracy presupposes the election of Khan, the chief of the tribe.
2. The Islamic system and the tribal system is very different. If the breeding places of believers, unbelievers, women, men in one line giving them practically equal rights, then the Muslim system is system unequal treatment and humiliation. By the way historically, Islam was of little value from the nomadic peoples(who was part of the population of Afghanistan).
3. Radical Islam is very aggressive branch of the religion of violence in relation to the infidels. They are all bandits.

So a russian player stole your lime, you killed him then went on KOed yet another russian. Is it a coincidence or just pure hatred toward the specific nationality? Anyway, it proves the OP's point.

I KOed a player, I had no idea of his nationality. I found out he was Russian while I was questioning him. He lived nonetheless.Quit making assumptions you pretentious prick ^-^ My point was that not all Russians are jerks, and if you couldn't see that you are pretty dumb

Hence the question...And yet you are making another assumption of me being a pretentious prick . I get your point that not every russian is bad but I don't get your behaviour. Did you return the guy the stuff you stole from him after knowing that he's russian?

I made a mistake, and I am sorry
I misunderstood your initial post.
No, I did not return his stuff. The lesson I was trying to teach this person was "If you can be KOed in a single stab you had better log the ***** out if you encounter someone." I initially thought I was coming across someone who was running off crime debuffs, and if that had been the case I would have murdered him. I stole his purse and his logs so he would remember the occasion, as it was quite apparent he was just new to the game.

I agree with the OP entirely, I think it is ridiculous to discriminate against someone based on their nationality. I will KO anyone I encounter in the wilds that cannot KO me, their actions dictate whether they live or die. I enter the situation fully understanding I may not come out alive. If I die it will be them teaching me the lesson.

I have learned more about this game from the **** that has happened randomly than I ever will the forums or wiki.
