Because turbo libbing is not the solution to defeating Trump. It is similar to saying Israel has the right to defend itself before each statement. Bernie is actively antagonizing commies by repeating US imperialist propaganda and applying it to someone he does not like.

If you feel antagonised when someone criticise Stalin then that's a you problem though.

Staline's Image Cult isn't "imperialist propaganda"

Americans using their global opponents which they demonize in all their media as insults is an all too classic trope.

I am sure we are all extremely well informed on Stalin because of our unbiased media.

Yes, the US has red scare propaganda.

Historians exist outside of the US, though. We have decades and decades of non-US, non communist-scare historical research to know what the USSR and Stalin did. If you don't want to recognise the errors of the past, you will repeat them. If the most you can do is aim for Stalin's USSR but 2025 version, then you're as much an enemy of the people than capitalists are.

non communist-scare

Oh? What are you referring to?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Research done by people whose purpose wasn't to produce red-scare propaganda (I don't know how I could have worded that better, I'm not a native speaker)

Basically, I live in a country where the communist party used to be very powerful. Red scare has been a thing here, but leftism was strong in the country, and lots of historians here have published good quality researches about the USSR

Fun fact though: our """communist""" party is now between centrism and neoliberalism. Their alliance with the socialist party destroyed anything it had to do with communism

red scares have been a global phenomena, not one isolated to the US. Pointless red baiting in response to what Trump being a fascist is about what I've come to expect from Bernie, the guy who can't call it a genocide.

Declassified CIA documents from the time even say that Stalin was not so much of an autocrat as commonly mythologized.
