My dad called me one last week. I told him I’m not even a communist, just a moderate social democrat who likes Soviet symbols for the shock value. (Not true, I’m a Marxist-Leninist, but gotta keep the peace with family, IYKYK.) But now I’m wondering, is “Stalinism” even a thing? Are any of you bears “Stalinists”?
Albeit under even more extreme duress.
Huh. Maybe I am a Stalinist. In my worst moments, when all I really want is a world where the right side won the Cold War.
If those are your worst moments you should really see what the other guys are doing right now man.
The other guys?
ICE, Israel, rightwing militias in the U.S., any other number of murder-addict mercenaries pretending to be religious extremists across the globe funded by three letter organizations from the U.S. Your tankie dark moments really aren’t that bad.
Ah, I see. Even when we are at our worst flashes of “Stalinism”, the commies still suck less than every other ideology. Checks out.
