Oof, Bernard's old Trotskyism jumped the fuck out
I have to imagine Stalin enjoyed widespread popularity for providing leadership and marshaling forces during a global, industrial war of extermination brought by fascists, and that any opportunism of others in the political sphere hitching their wagon to him by way of open, blind support, was owed to his achievements.
comparing MAGA to that is absurd. what has Trump achieved? celebrity/reality stardom? he isn't even that popular, and all he's done is exposed how there is a much larger demand for a politician saying they will do something than there is a supply for the same.
a Hitler comparison would be much more apt. some asshole, inflaming the worst people by talking shit non stop while hosting slop rallies, but ultimately being an incompetent and cowardly leader who mistakenly believed himself brilliant and capable.
Anticcmmunism is a helluva drug. How many times you read Americans describing something terrible happening in their country, and they always add “we become / is like North Korea”
I swear to god Americans - even the “smart” ones - are so intellectually incurious. Who was Josef Stalin? What did he think and do? Doesn’t matter don’t care, just talk about him like he’s a comic book villain, no one will call you out on it anyway.
Bernie comes out as Trotskyite.
That would be cooler than the reality of it
I fucking love anticommunism.
"if you're a leftist you're actually a trump supporter" -bernie sanders recently for some fucking reason
fuck you Bernie you liberal zionist piece of shit
Bernie, shut the fuck up forever, you zionist.
i want my money back you old piece of shit
Parenti was right to quit being friends with Sanders. History vindicated that decision well before this.
Bookchin hated him too
Satan opposed unjust authority. god is the one who demands love and obedience.
edit: oh stalinist not satanist. Whatever I'm leaving it
uncritical support for Comrade Satan in their struggle to unseat god and end the dictatorship of the angels
Wait, I thought we like Angles because he gave Marx so much money?
I thought we didn't like Anglos because of the whole colonialism thing and general cracker behavior
From the bluesky replies:
I actually choked on my drink while reading this. A statement so truly bizarre that it nearly killed me.

True communism has never been tried… nor capitalism or socialism.
I mean Craig isnt wrong. Technically if everyone was dead there'd be no nations, poverty, sickness, or homelessness. He's just advocating for human extinction guys.

Fukuyama will love this one
It's true, the USSR never recovered from Lennon's death, they were huge Beatles fans over there.
what do you think the hit song "Back in the U.S.S.R." was about?
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
They no longer could after Lennon was gone
I have taken psychic damage from this
I’m sorry, I couldn't suffer alone.
If the answer to "Am I currently facing a wall?" is "No" you can be be safe in knowing that a "Stalinist" party has not yet taken power, Bernie
I wish a "Stalinist" party would take power in the US. Maybe then the sins of that guilty land could finally begin to be purged. Maybe then the US would actually do some good for the world. Maybe they could actually spread Freedom and Democracy by supporting other communist revolutions. Instead of just saying they're Spreading Democracy as an excuse to bomb civilians in countries 90% of their population can't point to on a map.
"bernie will hang me in central park"
"we will hang bernie in central park"
you all are being so mean when zohran clearly drained all the left sentiment out of bernie sanders body, antisemitically
SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP
Oh Bernie, it's hard to be friendless in DC, huh? Gotta suck up to the Dems who resent the shit out of you and that involves sucking up to Republicans to maintain decorum
wtf is alt-left?
vindicated
Alt-left means communist beyond the barest social affections and liberal-academic truisms.
I seen that dumbass all over .ml with this take lately. From the context alt-left means basically "left that is not sucking up to liberals"
alt just means bad now
alt-right? bad
alt-left? bad
alt rock? bad (this one has always been true)
The weird fucked up and crazy offshoot of the real left, which is of course the democrats
Even the most cartoonish caricatures of Stalin by Western propagandists doesn't come close to the level of bloodshed and pure evil emanated by each of the heads on that mountain.
Or the bloodshed involved in dispossessing the Black Hills from the Lakota
