The culture wars mean that the methods of coercion differ depending on who you are as a member of the proletariat.

I would suggest reading the book transgender marxism, I think articles 2 and 5 if I remember correctly go into this.

Not according to noted anti-communist historians like Conquest, Wheafcroft and Davies, even fucking Applebaum. Have you read something outside a highschool textbook?

Are we referring to the same thing when we say culture war? Because I am including actual things besides the annoying media nonsense.

Hoe about you actually go look at academics instead of citing corporate media

You're literally citing a channel that does stuff on ancient aliens and nazi ufos

Literally not even liberal historians believe that. See: Conquest, Wheatcroft, Davies, Applebaum.

Putin might want to be like the idea of Stalin he has in his head, but not the actual "paperwork can wait, hunger cannot" revolutionary communist Stalin.

Here is a shitty little secret: as long as you are clean and look clean your physical appearance isn't the problem.

You either haven't had time to interact with enough people to find someone compatible, you dont know how to treat the people you're interested in dating like they're normal people, or you don't have the spaces to meet people in.

Trying to oppress minorities harder is actively a part of class war though. This is like, marxism 101

To say it is a fascist country is making fascism look better then it is. Fascism doesn't have 95 percent of the population approving of the government. Fascism doesn't exempt minorities from the one child policy. Fascism doesn't end extreme poverty in a country of 1.4 billion people. Fascism doesn't lead to trans youth Healthcare clinics sprouting up in major cities.

The links provided literally claim war crimes, they do not claim genocide.

Also Stalin did some terrible things but comparing him to Putin is ridiculous.

‚In addition, and despite some people (i.e., Norman Naimark) saying “The Soviet Union made no efforts to provide relief”, reports show that the Central Soviet Authorities sent hundreds of thousands of tonnes of food aid to Ukraine. In early February of 1933, Odessa and Dnepropetrovsk regions each received 3,300 tonnes of food aid. By the end of February, the Dnipropetrovsk region received 20,000 tonnes of food aid, Odessa received around 13,000 tonnes, and Kharkiv received almost 5,000 tonnes. Reports document that from February to June in the year of 1933, over 500,000 tonnes of food aid was sent to Ukraine. According to archived documents, Joseph Stalin himself, along with Molotov, personally took it upon themselves to scold Joseph Vareikis, First Secretary of the Voronezh Regional Committee of the CPSU, on March 31st of 1933 for his objection to sending 26,000 pounds of potatoes to the Donbass region of Ukraine. These behaviors including, but not limited to, sending food aid and at that personally intervening to ensure food aid is being given, is fairly odd or strange behavior for, as the “holodomor-genocide” campaigners would say, a “genocidal maniac who wanted to kill Ukrainians”. Truly, there was no reason for Stalin to go as far as personally intervening in that situation as he did to ensure food aid was sent to Ukraine if he was genuinely trying to create a famine to crush Ukraine.‘

You can also find archived docs of that time where the exact numbers and policies are described; it’s in Cyrillic though.

One party with multiple functional approaches that get whittled down through democratic consensus is more democratic than being told to pick between two relatively similar options. There is more of a gap between liberals and Maoists in the CPC, both of which hold power in office, than there are between the democrats and republicans.
