Yes, we should be so sad that fascist uprisings threatening to exterminate the poor, disabled and non-native were instead defeated with help from friendly socialist countries.
Not all protests, uprisings and revolutions are good. Look at their class character and composition.
- cat199 7y agoa) Thread context was communist poland being a vassal of the USSR, whose policy was subordinate to the CPSU. These examples highlight that policy was not in fact independent in these countries, and, when significant deviation occured, soviet military invasion was a consequence. Whether the uprisings / deviations are good or bad is secondary to this point. b) As for 'facism': show me the 'facism' in the key documents: HU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demands_of_Hungarian_Revolutionaries_of_1956 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demands_of_Hungarian_Revolutio... CS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism_with_a_human_face https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism_with_a_human_face (yes, wikipedia scholarship, better sources welcome) while I have no doubt that facists would piggy-back on to any anti-communist movement to seize a moment of opportunity, framing either of these as 'facist' at their core is at best poor analysis. Even hard-core bolsheviks would differentiate betwean 'bourgeois-democratic reactionaries' and 'facists' since being clear in distinction is necessary for proper argument/strategy.
