[@Ari-ne2yb]

@@jacko4483 The first people's revolution happened in 1905. The glorious event that liberated the people of Eastern Europe and then the whole world. Shostakovich was a staunch communist and so was Khachaturian, so I'm pretty certain they saw the Revolution in good light as well. Besides, even if you aren't a communist. It doesn't take a lot to understand that the communist rule was undeniably a superior and much more progressive one than the Tsarist one for the working class population.

[@jacko4483]

@Ari-ne2yb yeah, sure. So how's that ideology working out these days? Gloriously. Yep, just like China. Bastions both as beacons of hope for the rest of the world.

[@Ari-ne2yb]

@@jacko4483 And china is famously communist today? USSR worked great under communism btw. The communist party brought a feudal country from nowhere to 10k USD per annum of per capita GNI in 1991. Sure it was more authoritarian than what we had hoped for but comeon. Russia after communism is less authoritarian now? And before communism was last authoritarian? And about China, what was it before communism? A damn monarchy. Considering all of this, communism has actually worked wonders for the third world and brought us out of colonialism. The economic problems my country faces and many such countries in the global south face have only been amplified after the fall of the USSR. Labour share of income used to be 75% in the country I am from in 1980, today it's dropped to 54%. This is directly the influence of the forced privatization that we had to do after the fall of the USSR under pressure of the IMF. Which continues to do this still around the world. The only fault with communism is that the Revolution started in a country like Russia instead of Germany, USA or France even though almost all ideological synthesis of socialism and communism has been purely Western European. That and the fact that the USSR dissolved in 1991 are the only two tragedies of communism.

I cant change it, you cant change it just frim saying it that he isnt georgian and otherwise nobody. Thats politics in the sovietunion. Im sorry

@Bits海 100 %. As a matter of fact, turks are starting to claim that Komitas and Aivazovskiy are turkish too :), can you imagine the level of absurd? Meanwhile, Armenian whitewashed snowflakes are promoting some unnecessary, forced pseudo-liberalism on such a sensetive topic. You see, we would NOT have to claim A. Khachaturyan and the rest if there was no threat comming from our enemies.

@@Sevan59 When I wrote that comment, I implied that the music as a whole is universal, I don't think of a nationality when listening to Mozart or Bach or Tchaikovsky. I just enjoy it. same goes here. During the 44days war we fought against the fake republic backed by Armenia on our internationally recognized home turf and got back the lands where 800.000 people were displaced during the 1st Karabakh war. Any foreigner with the rifle is an enemy on our land and Khachaturian can't change this simple fact.

No, there’s no hope. I was wrong.
