Generally left wing is ‘making things better for people would be nice’
And is mostly bitterly divided between ‘cool, so let’s get started!’ And 'we must form a committee and personality cult to do capitalist accellerationism, only then can we murder everyone in the first group and then do the thing’ with some absolutely batshit jewels of ideology mixed in.
And the commie blocks are really in the center of that venn diagram. The party that made them was soaked in leftist blood, but the reason they look like that is because building them fast meant people got homes faster, so they were less concerned with giving each one a unique style.
Yep. They did a lot of bullshit and I’d argue they were profoundly reactionary, but the Bolsheviks were still minimum viable communist, and did a lot of communism when it wasn’t purge time.
Which sounds and was pointlessly awful, but I have spent a lot of time with people on the streets, and I think that’s still less terror, less pointless death and suffering.
