Bill Kristol is Jewish so he is not part of the in-group. Musk is not even American, but he is part of the in-group because of his background as an Afrikaner racist. Afrikaners are the people who literally ran a white supremist government for 80 years in South Africa.
you are literally quoting a russian defector.
All 3 volumes of his book were written long before he was exiled by the Soviets. The fact that he was kicked out of his own country by his embarrassed government doesn’t make one single word of it untrue. And his earlier book about the Soviet Gulag under Stalin was personally approved by Soviet leader Kruschev.
of these to smear the soviet union, especially around stalins time.
How come Soviet leader Kruschev personally approved the authors earlier book about the Soviet Gulag for publication in the USSR? This was the book written “around Stalin’s time”. You can read that book here.

That you don’t understand the timeline of what, when and where things were published is proof you don’t have the faintest idea what was actually going on. And the fact that you are extremely comfortable with casual dishonesty, even more than Trump, is why you don’t have any credibility here.
the cia has already declassified
LMFAO! It was never “classified” in America. Why the fuck would anybody in America “classify” a book written by a Russian inside Russia about Russia?
it paid plenty
The CIA paid Stalin to throw Solzhenitsyn in jail for 7 years so that he could collect his material?..LMFAO. How come he had very little money? What the fuck could he have even used money for in the USSR since there was nothing to buy and the author spend all but the last 4 years of his life inside Russia and never even imagined he would be allowed to leave?
have you actually read the book you keep pasting here?
I have. If you had read it you would know that Lenin and Stalin did more to destroy socialism than any other people in history. They started out by killing all the real Socialists in Russia, the Menshiviks. Socialism was popular around the world in the early 20th century until Lenin and Stalin killed it by pretending to be “socialists” and associating socialism in the minds of people with a totalitarianism nightmare. Stalin even became the official ally of fellow dictator Adolf Hitler.
still quoting literal US propaganda.
I’m quoting literally Russian sources. You responding that 2+2=5 doesn’t help you at all. Even if there is a rare person who doesn’t already know that 2+2=4, they can easily look it up. In addition, since you are someone who is obviously anti-American, why would any American listen to you about American politics? We know that you have no interest in helping Americans, and what Stalin and Lenin would think about something is completely irrelevant to us. Russians lost the Cold War because Lenin and Stalin massively enshitified it after stealing control from the people.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Solzhenitsyn
[Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn[a][b] ⓘ (11 December 1918 – 3 August 2008)[6][7] was a RUSSIAN author and SOVIET dissident who helped to raise global awareness of political repression in the Soviet Union, especially the Gulag prison system. He was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature “for the ethical force with which he has pursued the indispensable traditions of Russian literature”.[8] His non-fiction work The Gulag Archipelago “amounted to a head-on challenge to the Soviet state” and sold tens of millions of copies.[9]]
there are plenty of valid criticism you could muster about the soviet union
Yes I really don’t get why you chose to make yourself an irrelevant fossil. There is plenty of reasonable critiques of capitalism you could make without defending the USSR which was every bit as bad as Nazi Germany. You defending Lenin and Stalin is going to be rightly viewed exactly the same as another guy coming here and defending Hitler. If you are socialist, the smartest thing you can do is to do everything you can to distance yourself from Lenin and Stalin. The world has already seen what their version of “socialism” looks like and it is absolutely horrible. In order to taken seriously, you would need to make it very clear that your view of socialism has absolutely nothing in common with Lenin and Stalin.
Solzhenitsyn wrote about 2000 pages on the Lenin/Stalin Gulag.
why are you linking me to obvious us propaganda?
Why should anybody believe you when you have to use an easily disproven lie the very first thing you said because there is no legitimate way to explain the horrors of what happened in the USSR? The author was a Soviet citizen who never set foot in the USA until after his entire 3 volume series was published. He had collected a lot of material because he was a 7 year victim of Stalin’s Gulag.

Khrushchev himself personally approved of Solzhenitsyn’s previous book about Stalin’s Gulag. Was the leader of the USSR also peddling “obvious US propaganda”? LMFAO…

lenin oversaw one of the biggest and quickest jumps in quality of life for people in history.
The author shows over and over in his book that the roots of Stalinism go right back to Lenin.
[Solzhenitsyn painstakingly laid the theoretical, legal, and practical origins of the Gulag system at Lenin’s feet, not Stalin’s.]
How is randomly arresting people in places like train stations and libraries in order to fulfill a police arrest quota from the top dictator a “jump in quality of life” LMFAO! Lenin and his party started the biggest enshitification of any country in history. Who the f*ck would ever want to live in a country where such as things as arrest quotas of random people exist? You would literally be risking your life every time you left your apartment.
Revert a 4 year old commit without dealing with conflict hell? I sure wish them luck
They should just revert every single change since this commit. That will role back all 4 years of Trump’s enshitification.
Just the whims of a tech billionaire
And Afrikaner racist. That was the group of people that literally ran a white supremist government in South Africa for 80 years and jailed Nelson Mandela for over 30 years.
It fits in perfectly with the real name: Department of Government Enshitification
You need to read the manga versions of Das Kapital to really get it.
And we need to read this to really get you.
I thought those fucking cretins were supposed to be reducing government waste. How is forcing agencies to paint over murals with positive vibes and update their website to remove magic words a good use of their time and money?
The best way to understand DOGE is to be aware of what it really means: Department of Government Enshitification. The entire point of it is to generally degrade the quality of government.
You mean soldiers?
Their entire population.
Can you provide source of millions of innocent civilians dying in ukraine or vice versa in Russia? No,
Did you imagine me saying “No”??? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL…
The entire world knows about this stuff. You are unbelievably ignorant. Why would anyone listen to you about anything?

So Trump wants all the people who live there out, and US troops in.
What Lenin did was far worse.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gulag_Archipelago
We aren’t going to fix Traitorapist Trump’s enshitification by using Lenin’s far worse enshitification of Russia as a guide.
Musk and his family have the background of a racist Afrikaner. These are the people who literally ran a white supremist government in South Africa for 80 years and jailed Nelson Mandela for 30 years. I hope that their government nationalizes his families assets.
[Three sources told CNN that in the end, the DOGE personnel were eventually able to access the headquarters.]
The new Department of Government Enshitification has been pretty busy.
They speculate that Goliath was one of the last of the Nephilim, hybrid descendants of fallen angels, so I guess this would explain a lot.
The Nephilim would have all been killed in the Great Flood. That was in fact the entire reason for the Flood. Yahweh couldn’t be bothered to take out the Nephilim one by one and decided that all of humanity was acceptable collateral damage.
It really is just a bunch of silly stories from farmers thousands of years ago
Can you imagine how twisted the guy who wrote Revelations was? Why did he just make all that shit up? Why did he try to pass off his own shit as Yahweh’s shit? Since he knew that Revelations was his own made up bullshit, he must have known that the entire bible was made up bullshit too. Why did he think it was okay to be a gigantic liar and for him to contribute to the mountain of bullshit started by others?
Hmm this section sounds familiar:
There is another parallel between Venezuela and Traitorapist Trump. Like us and Nazi Germany, their whole mess happened because they allowed a failed coup leader to come to power who should have been disqualified from the start.
Worth noting that, AFAICT, they never restore the tax rate to what it was before the preceding Republican’s tax breaks.
Biden unfortunately did not. But Obama restored the highest tax bracket back to what it was previously. Clinton actually went above and beyond that and made it higher that it was in 1987. But I want to see the top rate rolled back at least to the 1986 rate of 50% or even better the 1982 rate of 70%. Only then will I be satisfied the wealthy are paying their fair share of taxes.

Your nation and your propaganda is a joke. Putin is awful, but he’s undeniably done less damage in this entire years as leader of Russia than America in 2 terms
I’m pretty sure that millions of Ukrainian victims of Russian imperialism would say that your propaganda is a joke.
It is important to understand that much of the stuff Narcisstic Buffoon Trump does is just to get your attention for that one particular day.
His immigration “crackdown” was a stunt to get your attention for that one particular day. That’s not to say there won’t be any more one day “crackdown” stunts. But the next one won’t happen until Trump runs out of other stunts and craves your attention on some other day.
His threats to invade Greenland was a stunt to get your attention for that one particular day.
His threats to invade Gaza was a stunt to get your attention for that one particular day.
His threats to put a 25% tarrif on Mexico and Canada was a stunt to get your attention for that one particular day.
