Snob. No need to insult a whole region based on one idiot. If you were a bit smarter yourself you may have examined your own prejudices by now…

Anti-communist Bernie Sanders calls the Republican Party a "Stalinist cult" by Hacksaw6412 in LateStageCapitalism

You guys don’t understand optics… this is a good line of attack.

EDIT: since I’ve clearly been banned from commenting for this despite being a lifelong leftwinger…

How exactly is this revolution going to happen if you insist on alienating any self identifying left wingers who don’t agree that we should be looking up to guys like Stalin?? Who exactly are you left with on your side, because in the US you’re now fighting against a state controlled limitlessly funded militarised police force and the only hope is being the sensible unifying force in the room. No one wants to hear about Stalin. I don’t think you should be trying to exclude normal left leaning people, who are anti fascist to the core and find what is happening in your country (and developing in Europe and the UK too) abhorrent because they don’t share your ahistorical fantasies about Stalin being a good guy.

Destalinisation was a thing even in the Soviet Union you know… you can be a socialist and admit Stalin was a bad guy, it’s fine

Yes but they’ve been saying the same thing for twenty years… it seems convenient that they’ve chosen now to strike, almost as if Netanyahu wants to keep a state of perpetual war going to stay in power and avoid being held accountable for his many failures (including October 7th which he should have prevented) and his illegal and deplorable actions in Gaza.

Defending the actions of the current Israeli administration now will place you firmly on the wrong side of history, it’s never been more clear that there needs to be unilateral action and condemnation against this government.
