If anything, the example of Poland offers the fiercest refutation of the tiresome ‘commies = nozzies’ meme. The German Reich treated Poles like neoslaves, regularly committed massive reprisals against them as punishments, denied them any advanced education, used them to supply child labour, deliberately underfed or starved them, and expected most (if not all) of them to become extinct by the 1960s or earlier. If the Axis did indeed shoot German men for raping Poles, it must have been done selectively. Millions of Poles died as a result of the Axis occupation. All of this is supported by a lot more than anecdotal or circumstantial evidence.

Not to mention that despite Nazi propaganda, the Soviets didn't commit mass rape, and rapists were shot.

"I would much rather other women be raped by Nazis than me not be able to have meat with every single meal."

Bolesław Bierut

I just read that

His regime was marked by a silent terror – he presided over the hunting down of armed opposition members and their eventual murder at the hands of the Ministry of Public Security (UB), including some former members of the Home Army.

And like, wtf is "armed opposition member"? Is that what's called a "violent extremist" today?

Parenti's quote, the one about how bourgeois media turns anything about communism into a negative, is definitely applicable to Wikipedia articles too.

I've read an article which casually claimed that the Soviet Union granting equal rights to women is actually evil, because some women wanted to be homemakers. BuT thE eBiL sOviEts putting women on equal standing meant they were pReSsUred by the tWiSTed SovIet sOcieTY to aim higher.

Straight from the alt right misogynist book.

Oh, absolutely. I felt incredibly uncomfortable reading that paragraph. I didn't delve deep into the article's history, but it appeared to have been there for quite a while.

It definitely feels like the anti-AES rhetoric has been ramping up over past few decades. Or maybe it's just me growing older and marxister-leninister and I start to notice more of such bs as a result.

I think to some extent anti-communist propaganda has permeated Western society for over a century.

It's just that in the past decades they've gotten a lot more aggressive about crushing any socialist state, or really just any state that "stands in their way"
