      Today, August 23, we commemorate the victims of totalitarianism and authoritarian regimes.

      The European Day of Remembrance for Victims of Stalinism and Nazism (Black Ribbon Day) is linked to the date of the signing of the non-aggression treaty between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany (known as the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, or as the Stalin-Hitler Pact).

      The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, officially the Treaty of Non-Aggression between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was a non-aggression pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union with a secret protocol that partitioned between them or managed the sovereignty of the states in Central and Eastern Europe: Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Romania.

      The pact was signed in Moscow on 23 August 1939 by German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop and Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov. It has also been referred to as the Hitler-Stalin Pact and the Nazi-Soviet Pact.

      The world is changing. Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Isengard… and Mordor? To stand against the might of Sauron and Saruman… and the union of the Two Towers? Together, my Lord Sauron, we shall rule this Middle-earth.

      Why not communism instead of stalinism, there were thousands and thousands of regime victims in other communist countries that had nothing to do with Stalin but were victims of the Communist party?

      Why “stalinism”? It’s just communism. The same happened in China, Korea, Cambodia

      Some people are prone to forgetting how inhuman communism was. Instead, we should always remember how evil, against life, creativity, freedom, equality in rights, totalitarianism is. No easy solution. No utopia. Just humanity with reason.

      Only Stalinism and Nazism?Europe had tons of other variations of fascism and communism that killed tens of thousands of innocents

      It should say “the victims of communism” but here we are, only allowed to call out nazism and nothing else.

      Kinda hilarious for EU to have a black ribbon day while trying to push Chat Control on us, which is “Totalitarian 101”.

      It would be nice if it wasn’t just remembering past genocides but actually not participating in new ones while making speeches about “never again” when that doesn’t apparently apply to everyone. What’s the point of studying history at this point if we keep repeating the same mistakes anyway.

      “Animals, ladies and gentlemen and plants, let us on this day remember all the victims of the genocidal totalitarian regimes and intents that we support today. We will never again allow more innocet victims to happen while we benefit from it! Starting tomorow! AND only online, only online, we don’t want to actually do it muhahahahahahha.Let us esteemed gemtelmen dig in, let us eat and drink because we are the good guys today, even tho we support every single genocidal action there ever was and ever will be in the past, present AND future. Cheers and bon appetite.” At least the Russ and American (lately) don’t pretend that they don’t care and are colonial empires, idk what do you guys are still doing. Probably milking more of the “EU integration grants” were you lounder money.

      Is Europe seriously this obsessed with rewriting history? Insane.

      They should move it to a different date rather than the end of the summer holidays, think of the children who wouldn’t care if this wasn’t commemorated in their schools. My suggested date would probably be 3 March (foundation of the first Nazi concentration camp).

      Nice! When are communist symbols going to be made illegal in Germany?

    14. lonefunman1 on

      What about ribbon day for victims of NATO and NATO adjacent regimes (like Saudi Arabia and Israel, buying weapons from NATO)?

    15. saggynaggy123 on

      Kinda mad to wear one of these while openly supporting an ongoing genocide in Gaza

      Communist apologists are losing it defending the fantasy that communism is “good.” Let’s be clear: regimes calling themselves communist have killed or imprisoned over 100 million people in the 20th century alone.

      Some argue that one flavor of communism is “different,” conveniently ignoring that every major communist state—Soviet Union, Maoist China, Cambodia, North Korea, and today’s “paradises” like Cuba and Venezuela—systematically crush human rights. Others deflect with whataboutism. Ignorance or bad faith, it’s still disgusting.

      Everybody saying what about this and that. A guy in my street died of Covid but we have draw the line somewhere.

      Equating the crimes of Stalinist states (not saying they weren’t bad, they were) with that of the Fascists and the Nazis seems odd to me.

      Like it implies that the two were equal.
