anti-revisionists like to revision history instead

It is in my belief that Socialism is simply the inevitable path of history and that its need grows by the day. I am growing up and directly seeing the destruction and degradation that Capitalism is doing to my country and seeing the genocidal imperialism it has given to the world. Socialist theory and its critique of Capitalism is something that I've been looking for for a long time; it gave me the tools to identify my complaints with society and the system I live in.

Although the revisionist history some left-wing content creators like to spread is simply abhorrent. I've seen them consistently justify or minimize the Great Purges that were conducted under Stalin. They attempt to redefine Kulaks when they were not simply "bourgeois serfs that refused to give up their property,” the term was stretched to almost include peasants as a whole. Poles were specifically targeted, if I lived back then I would’ve been a Kulak.

I’ve seen some leftists say that those deported in the Great Purges were deported for justifiable reasons - but personally I don’t think just being a Pole is a punishable offense. Even conservative estimates count around 700,000 killed in Kulak purges; with many more sent to Gulags.

That is arguably an ethnic cleansing and these minimizations and revisions are nothing less than strange. If Socialism is to move forward with good conscience in the hearts of Socialist and in the eyes of the swaying American public - these past sins must be admitted and confronted, not ignored or, at worst, supported. If these sins are not acknowledged and condemned, future Socialist movements will be doomed to repeat it - how much better would we be from the Fascists?
