Some basic facts about your hero Stalin

Same response applies tbh

I would agree Mr PP Boy, but my self proclaimed communist friend from childhood loved Stalin. And last I ran into him he was reading Maos theory. Guy was 27 years old at that point too.

So for those of us following along at home, you know a guy who believes a thing, therefore you have applied that belief to all people who proclaim to believe a different thing?

As is the way.

I’m not even sure he knew a guy. A lot of people see someone reading something and assume all kinds of wild things.

Exactly! Just because I'm reading volume 27 of "Sheep Fornicators Extreme - Global Takeover!" doesn't mean I'm into sex with sheep, I just appreciate the skill it takes to draw it so well.

That series gets wild with volume 32 "Sheep Fornicators Extreme - Mars Meltdown" I haven't been able to put it down

Oh trust me, thus person is very real. My conversations were so frustrating, he was so entrenched in his dogma it was like talking to a religious person.

And you chose to believe that was every single communist... I guess that does say a lot.

I was in SDS in college, and I did a fair bit of activism over the last decade. I met more self described communists than I would have liked. I'm sorry your fellow comrades gave me a bad impression of your religion

And his friends. And the people in the Marxist Leninist instances here.

Also, another really smart dude I talk to regularlu, he says he would consider himself a Marxists. Probably not a Tankie, but still says stupid shit saying that the war un Ukraine is the US fault and its a result of NATO expansionist. Which is wrong for so many reasons. And his grandma was a communist China apologist.

Communism is stupid, and the people that follow it are dogmatic and have no pragmatic basis for their "theory" other than their feelings. If it offends go cry about it.

Which is wrong for so many reasons.

Which reasons are most prominent and why?

Communism is stupid, and the people that follow it are dogmatic and have no pragmatic basis for their “theory” other than their Communism is stupid, and the people that follow it are dogmatic and have no pragmatic basis for their “theory” other than their feelings. If it offends go cry about it. feelings. If it offends go cry about it.

Working backwards, I’m not offended, rather amused.

Why did you put theory in quotes? Why and how is the theory stupid? Please give me direct critiques of Marx/Engels work, that aren’t copied/pasted (I’m rusty af so we’re probably starting from the same point).

Communist China apologist? What kinds of things, for example?

How didn’t NATO expansionism continue to, if not cause, the way in Ukraine? Bonus points if you can find msm articles that no one remembers talking about the alarming spread of communism, in Ukraine, before the war started.

That logic lol. It's like me saying my american friend read mein kampf and love hitler, thus all american is nazi.

Defeated Hitler.

And a lot of his rivals.

And non rivals.

And civilians.

To be fair.. soviet Russia should've absolutely steamrolled Germany with even a half decent leader.

Stalin almost let Hitler win by being just about the dumbest fucking leader on the planet. And that includes whatever idiot was leading the French.

Yes because all reds support Stalin, like all fascists support trump. Please.
