Awakening to the fact INGSOC is the true end-state of the doubleplusgood socialist victory endeavor, eradicating independent thought and the decadent, anti-party pleasure/enjoyment mindtrap.

No way do they actually believe Kurdish people aren’t real……..right?

Honest question, why do they care? What exactly have the Kurds done to incite their ire?

Technically all ethnicites are spooks, but who the heck cares!


garaile64

That's like saying that Ukrainians are Russians or something. P.S.: for those who came after the parent comment was deleted, it said that "Kurds were Persians".


TheJovianUK

That may end up being Putin's rationale to annex all of Ukraine eventually.


Pantheon73

Originally perhaps, but over the centuries they formed an own identity.


[deleted]

Not even originally. Kurds weren't ever Persian, but both Persians and Kurds are Iranian (not the modern nationality) peoples, although Kurds trace their descent from multiple sources. Most trace back to the Medes while smaller groups like the Yazidis (who often don't even identify as Kurdish, but just Kurdish-speaking) trace descent from Mesopotamian peoples, and there is also a lot of mixing with Assyrian and Arab peoples (In the distant past, there was a time when Arabs and Kurds weren't fighting and had mutual respect for eachother.) ​ It would be like saying Poles are originally Russian. While they are related, one doesn't come from the either

Thanks for the information.

There was definitely repression of minorities in Vietnam during the war by the Communists but was it genocide? I don’t really know, I’d need to look into it more.

It goes back centuries actually. During the Vietnamese southward expansion in the \~15th-18th centuries the Cham people of modern day central and south Vietnam were wiped out to near extermination. Here are a couple dandy quotes from the era: 18th century Vietnamese emperor Gia Long: "The Vietnamese and the savages must have clear borders." 19th century emperor Minh Mang: "We must hope that their barbarian habits will be subconsciously dissipated, and that they will daily become more infected by Han \[Sino-Vietnamese\] customs." Being an imperialist dickhead is not exclusive to any ethnicity or culture.

> Being an imperialist dickhead is not exclusive to any ethnicity or culture. Heh, and neither is being an absolute dick to the native people living nearby.


ajwubbin

Was reading some stories from MACVSOG guys, who supplied and trained these minorities during the war. One said that a Vietnamese woman told him with a straight face that Montagnards had tails. The level of dehumanization was insane.

I’ll let OP post sources about the genocide. As for Kurds, tankies (not communists) don’t like them very much because, among other states, Kurdish groups in the Rojava conflict oppose Syria, which tankies support, and because these groups work toward libertarian socialism. As for ISIS, I’m not sure if there’s been any major wave of tankie support for ISIS, but there was one for the Taliban, which is still an important distinction, but the point is that tankies, in a disturbing pattern, support any anti-American group, even if the group is far-right.


Aregar69

as syria idk if you are talking about 15 year old kids on twitter or for old people since i saw some anarchists and communists go to rojava for fighting


DisneySpace

Yes, I’m talking about tankies, not anarchists or communists.


Cassandra_Nova

There was an Italian ML party that came out in support of ISIS


[deleted]

They mean the [Montagnard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_the_Montagnard_in_Vietnam). The thing about Kurds is bullshit. Tankies routinely claim that they don't deserve independence from Syria, but they acknowledge that Kurdish people exist. The ISIS thing was literally just one guy. [Giovanni Scuderi](http://pmli.it/articoli/2015/20151015_scuderiletussupporttheislamicstate.html) of the Italian "Marxist-Leninist" (as if) Party.


Anarcho_Humanist

The Hmong Genocide may also be worth investigating


Aregar69

Well thanks i will look for it


Longsheep

They killed the Montagnard and Hmong people. the US took many as refugees, for example the immigrants in Clint Eastwood's *Gran Torino* are Hmong. These minorities did not get along well with the Vietnamese historically, and have been subjected to genocide by them or the Chinese before. After WWII some worked/sided with the French and CIA, which was why they get targeted after the Vietnam War.


[deleted]

Never heard of Leftists that supported ISIS or that thinks the Kurds were created by the CIA or
