It wasn’t just my family though, women were massively liberated in the USSR relative to basically everywhere in Eurasia at the time. Loads of people die in prison, maybe their family was Nazi collaborators, maybe mine was KGB agents, maybe we’re both lying.
We should stick to verifiable facts when discussing history.
I don’t think exterminating 50 families is worth it even if 50 other unrelated families get uplifted. At least, I don’t think you can call it good or better. And I don’t think any one specific theory or ideology is necessary for women’s liberation. Women have historically liberated themselves using a myraid of different ideologies.
I don’t think you can count theory alone as a “verifiable fact.” The verifiable facts are the historically accurate first-person accounts of history which have been measured against corroborating witnesses and physical evidence. Marx wrote a book about his own thoughts and predictions. Some of these thoughts can be measured against reality and some of them cannot. Anybody can write down their thoughts, and the more intelligent you are, the more you can twist your words to make them sound good. Material reality and the lived experiences of real people matter more to me than what an intelligent person can make up or predict.
I find it hard to believe that every single person who died in a gulag was a Nazi collaborator, because not all of them were. Although we can’t do it on Lemmy, it is possible to verify familial histories and first-person accounts. You’re right about the fact that a lot of people lie on the internet so this whole discussion is kind of silly.
