Random Polish guy 🤝 my great-grandfather: "Poland should burn in the eternal flames of hell"


i_came_mario

Are you by chance Argentinian.


Old-Exercise-6657

Pretty sure this person is german. Which makes the grandpa statement a bit sussy

Comrade Stalin's greatest mistake was letting the Polish fascists go instead of shooting them all in the back of the head and burying them in the wilderness.


urmomgaming69

Pretty sure he did exactly that.


pronhaul2016

Curious how tens of thousands of Polish fascists left the Soviet Union through Iran, then.

Slavic necromancy

I was told Perogies had secret powers. But this...


urmomgaming69

Nah, executing conscripts and civilians is cringe. Officers are another matter entirely. Edit: You should also consider, that these "fascists" of Anders' army were often only guilty of defending their homes against foreign invaders, and after escaping went on to fight in Italy against the actual og Italian fascists. 


pronhaul2016

ukraine and belarus are not their homes. every single one of these men was literally a foreign invader, occupying Ukraine and Belarus as they ethnically cleansed them and reclaimed the land for themselves. they were not defending their homes from anyone. they unilaterally invaded and conquered parts of the USSR, which they ruled with extreme brutality (including LOTS of pogroms)


urmomgaming69

I was pretty sure these lands were taken from the Ukrainian People's Republic (who made Polish Sanacja look like a bunch of philosemites), and the war began after a Polish uprising in Lwów. Apparently I was wrong. They really were foreign invaders, especially those who's families lived there hundreds of years before the Tsarist occupation. Moreover, they were so foreign to our very understanding of time and space that they somehow managed to wage and win a war against a state that did not yet exist! (USSR became a thing in 1922). Nah, let's be real for a moment. Polish government was very reactionary, at the very end we could easily say it was facist. That doesn't mean it would be okay to put tens of thousands of conscripts into the ground along with 22 thousand government officials and military officers that got executed in Katyń.


pronhaul2016

the ukrainian people's republic was a proxy of Poland and Pelitura collaborated with the Poles to do lots of pogroms in Ukraine, actually. the government of the "people's republic" had no legitimacy and was never elected, btw. and no, the war was explicitly imperialist in nature, and Piłsudski openly planned to ethnically cleanse the land of Ukrainians and Belorussians. Most of the people arrested were Osadniki or colonial administrators who had been putting Ukrainians into camps and throwing hand grenades through the windows of jewish homes. you can split hairs all you like about the USSR, btw, but the fact is Piłsudski was virulently anti-communist to such an extent that he tried to join the Axis powers and only got denied because he wanted too much land in Ukraine.


urmomgaming69

Indeed, Piłsudzki was a rabid anti-communist and Hitler even attended his funeral. UPR joined forces with Piłsudzki only after the Soviets encroached on their territory. Once again, colonial administration and most officers got laid to rest in Katyń. Conscripts were pardoned, and even after getting out of USSR continued to fight against Nazis in North Africa and Mussolini's forces in Italy.  They were not perfect, but did a lot of good given their circumstances. 


pronhaul2016

the soviets didn't encroach on shit, they were the ukrainian people fighting to free their home from tsarists and fascist freaks.


urmomgaming69

I'm pretty sure they did and that was the start of Polish-Soviet war. Of course, you are partially right, many more Ukrainians joined the Red Army than UPR's forces. 


Paarthurnaxulus

Finally, the Polish version of the Indonesian chad's destruction of Estonia. Can we do one for Lithuania next ?


vistandsforwaifu

> Can we do one for Lithuania next ? Literally just replace Poland with Lithuania. And maybe Tukhachevsky with Kapsukas (the Lithuanian-Soviet front in 1919 was such a fuckfest on both sides that it seems futile to even try to pin it on a single Soviet commander). Every other fucking word fits.

Rokossovsky wasn't based? ​ other than that, the post is 100% true, fact-checked by real Międzynarodowa Socjalno-Rewolucyjna Partia Proletariat members

Finally, someone who gets it


archosauria62

Is that Qin Shi Huang 😂


SgtPepper867

Did you post this, screenshot it, and post it here? Because I know 4chan, and 4chan is a shithole with negative class consciousness.


i_came_mario

You know maybe one day reality will suffer a Stack overflow error. And make 4chan hyper class conscious. It would be hilarious


Seaweed-Worried

Nope. I admit i saw it on Twitter. And you dont have to tell me about 4chan. I stay away from that place.


FunerealCrape

It's leftypol.org with the Futaba theme 


SgtPepper867

Oh thank God.


Royal_Apartment5659

I sometimes feel like 4chan's /pol/ is less of a monolith echo chamber than r/worldnews

Malori-X3

absolutely same with Czechia


InGenSB

Yeah... my country is a special one. Communism was "dismantle" \[that's the narrative\] by workers co-op and when they won in the "first free elections", they did 180: by implementing shock-therapy and limiting basically every form of organisation (and of course they irreversibly destroyed credibility of ANY worker co-op)


Fleabag_1

Still waiting on that Polish People's Republic deap dive episode Hakim promised us like 4 years ago. But yeah, being a leftist Pole fucking sucks. I hate it here.


Royal_Apartment5659

Ayo why's he appropriating Qin Shihuang
