    In HS, they tried giving us an abridged history of what’s happening in Syria. They claimed that Assad gassed citizens, years later official US reports admitted that US insurgents had launched the gas. But go off, we totally learned about Communism and how it’s good

      I’m my school we talked about how under Stalin/communism in general there was mass industrialization (gave no context as to why, only that he was egotistical and communism bad) which was impressive but bad because everyone was overworked to death or whatever. Then Holodomor manufactured famine with no additional information, I swear to god we were only told the Holodomor was a man made famine and that’s it.

      Do you happen to have any links to those reports?

        I’ll check, I think Multipolarista talked about it but I may be wrong…

          Ben has probably talked about it, a lot of the reporting on this topic was from his former employer The Grayzone.

        The Grayzone and Aaron Maté in particular have written quite a lot about the OPCW reports and the chemical weapons attacks in Syria.

          I understand, but I thought you meant other reports that the OPCW can’t deny
