Wait wait wait wait. I know I've been surprised by this map numerous times.
BUT RUSSIA RECOGNIZES IT?
Also looking at this map, it seems the majority of the population of Earth recognizes it.
So in my head, that means that Palestine is 100% a nation. With sovereignty. And the US, Europe, and Australia are still "lalala i can't hear you" and "can't be a genocide if you aren't a targeted group of people that we recognize lalalalala."
Soviet Union was one of the major (if not the major) advocates for Palestine in UN. Russia still has significant connections to Palestine. For example, president of Palestine went to a victory day parade in Moscow this year.
that's not just in your head, that's the awful reality we live in
Back when they were a communist nation, they and most other communist/aligned countries recognized them.
Commies are cool, as it turns out.
Kinda depends on what kind of commie. Authoritarians like CCP, Bolsheviks and the Kim family? Never. But the Kronstadt sailors who died fighting the hypocrisies of the Bolsheviks, and the Japanese Communist Party who chose the peaceful route to try to gain power? They are cool.
It's not about peaceful routes, it's about sustainability and avoiding evil.
Not all Bolsheviks were awful, too. It's just that the general agreement about "we are doing a marxist revolution and transforming a country worse than intended for that, and so we can only afford unity and centralism, and some hard solutions are necessary" meant that the hard solutions led from executions of some people to executions of many, and unity led to gradually destroying opposition (the communist kind), and centralism led ultimately to Stalin.
I don't really want to get into this argument, but just out of curiosity what do you think about Cuba?
Cuba is still authoritarian. Their biotech research is pretty amazing though, in spite of sanctions and Castro's obsession with producing a supercow.
Don't you dare slander Ubre Blanca
Out of interest, what do you think of cuba?
the USSR was the first state to recognize Israel. authoritarian commies are a fucking joke
Commies are just as bad as Nazis.
That's the truth. It's a failed murderous ideology that killed tens of millions in a few short decades and brought nothing but poverty, tyranny, death, and destruction everywhere it went. It's flawed in both theory and practice, which is why it collapsed. All the modern day Marxists literally cannot defend this shitty ideology on it's own merits. Their worldview is supported entirely on lies, fallacies, and willful ignorance.
You can downvote and seethe all you want, won't change the reality one bit.
