Welcome again to everybody! Please sit down, stay awhile and enjoy our groups most honoured tradition, our weekly discussion thread! Oh and if you find the giant spoon, please let me know, I seem to have miss placed it when changing the thread over this week.
We have a Matrix homeserver at genzedong.xyz. See this thread for information about our Matrix space.

Didn’t Gorbyboy get really rich afterwards with all kinds of deals and public speaking events?
I woudn’t be surprised. But he could’ve gotten rich without destroying everything the way he did. He was just clueless on so many things like nationalism/the national question. Says a lot when even the Yanks were wondering wtf in god’s name this dude was doing
A lot of anti communist things happening back then were a surprise for the yanks despite their unending involvement in these regions. I think that if you try to overthrow these movements often and long enough, some unexpected shit will eventually turn up. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Gorbachev was an actual happy accident for them
They got him with the stupidity gun
