Hexbear is an internet forum. I don’t know how or why you expect high quality discourse on an anonymous memes forum. ML is predominant in hexbear, yeah, and it’s thankfully one of the places of the internet where you don’t have to preface every discussion of the USSR with 5 paragraphs on how horrifying repression was.
Through MLs though, I’ve encountered the deepest sources I’ve seen on this. I’ve seen the website of the Gulag museum, the dicussion on the Вдудь Russian channel when he interviews victims of Gulag in Kolyma, the discussion in the book “People’s Republic of Walmart” that deals partially with Soviet economic planning, the books “Economic History of the USSR” and “Farm to Factory” discuss it, and there’s a deep discussion in “Human Rights in the Soviet Union” by Albert Szymanski, in the final chapters. The “Stalin Eras” saga of the “Proles Pod” podcast has a long discussion of the events leading to the repression, too, if you’re interested.
Is that enough discussion that I’ve been exposed to exclusively from ML sources? Or not?
