    Stalin was very successful in killing Nazis, also non Nazis, and everyone else.

    It’s like saying that this or that plague was good, because it killed a lot of bad people.

      It was stalin that was allied with the nazis as they both invaded poland. It just the nazis were too ambitious and greedy.

        And remember about Katyń genocide, where Stalin’s people killed thousands of polish intellectuals, officers and so on. Goal was to erase polish culture. Nazis did the same things in camps.

    Ah, yes, keep jacking off to Stalin, that’ll show everyone.

    If you aren’t aware that there are better and more benevolent examples of Communism that can be found in modern history, you need to do some research. And I’m not talking about any countries in the west, just so we’re clear.

    Edit: and let’s not forget the inconvenient truth that Stalin was literally fucking allied with Mustache Man and carved Poland up between the two of them.

      My Lemmy client (voyager) displays links at the bottom along with the text that is in the [](). It’s so funny to see “jacking off to Stalin: stanford.edu

    Keep holding the-least-fascist’s feat to the fire [~ what a horrible idiomatic expression, I’ve really got to stop using it.], to keep an anti-fascist option available to the masses.

    Keep exorcising from your mind that this coercive trap is the remedy.

    There’s always more.

    As a leftist, I’ll debate Nazis but tell them I’m a good person for standing with trans community, Palestinian people, helping the unhoused.

    Watch them go in two different directions
