The Moscow trials are public record. Feel free to examine the evidence and the court transcripts yourself. They have been translated into every imaginable language.
Read the transcripts. I promise you they were neither tortured nor was the confession forced. After the prosecutor proved each point, some of them confessed in hopes of manipulating the soviets. Also, I bet you never learned about the derailed trains or the miners who suffocated to death. THe difference is that in capitalist America, the supervisor at the mine gets to be free and run for the Senate. In the USSR, the workers themselves headed the investigation committee and did such a thorough investigation that they found the plot. Then, mostly it was people snitching on others in hopes of leniency, but because the USSR was a worker state, the people were like "F this shit" and they got no leniency.
why don't you actually come up with evidence or sources, or a counter-argument, or at least some sort of analytical framing rather than just remain set in your propagandized anti-communist ways?
Zinoviev and Bukharin admitted guilt lol
Tukhachevsky was plotting against the state, what's wrong with you?

It's true
Kamenev and Zinoviev and Bukharin were convicted criminals, believe all the sob stories you want to
Mensheviks were not comrades, they were bourgeois fancy lads
Trotsky sought help from NS Germany and fascist Japan

"Show" trials = Public trials. Not "fake trials"
they're actual trials with actual evidence and actual witnesses
only anti-USSR propaganda calls them "show trials", because it's literal Western anti-USSR propaganda
but sure, the Western imperialist's propaganda is completely without issue

no, you're just not actually providing any evidence to your case, and only mentioned a source that literally exaggerates beyond recognition
you know that Western Sovietology is built around exaggeration and caricature and demonization, and yet you still accept all of its premises?

okay, idiot
you're deflecting again
deleted by creator
and you have nothing here
you're just bleating out anti-communist nonsense every chance you get
and I personally think it's pathetic and abusive to be on a radical left forum and only spew anti-communist canards

okay, that's why you keep responding i guess?

okay, cope more
not sure what you think you're doing here whining about "USSR bad" as though that's a legitimate take at all
deleted by creator
you're the reactionary & counterrevolutionary idiot who regurgitates anti-communist lies & exaggerations
so that's abusive in and of itself, but I'm not going to pretend to be personally affronted by your ignorance

you're the one who acts in bad faith and never actually supports any of your positions

deleted by creator

not sure why that's hard for you
