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”?
Well, that doesn’t tell me anything new or interesting.
I knew the term ML came from Stalin’s time as GenSec, I knew that most commies who call themselves Stalinist care more about the Soviet flags than actual socialism and liberation, and I knew that my dad is a rabid anti communist child of the Cold War who thinks “commie” is too mild of an insult for actual ideologically committed commies and calls me every Cold War insult there was for the entire damn Warsaw Pact. Regardless of the ethnic slurs not fitting and things like “Stalinist” effectively meaning nothing.
