Has /r/socialism_101 been compromised? I have noticed over the last 2 or so months some incredible takes in the comments and this thread is even locked.

I usually don't really care but this kind of thought is on par with libs that use "utopian" when talking about Marxism. Just so confidently wrong. I'm not even that well read yet on theory but, Jesus, this set off my lib radar bad.

    Wasn't Stalin already dead when the tanks were sent to Hungary?

    It was the spectre of Stalin that ordered the tanks to cross the border! He was so brutal that no one would dare disobey even his disembodied spirit.

      Yeah and it was months after Khrushchev gave his speech denouncing Stalin and committing to "de-Stalinization"

      Tankie is when Stalinist is when de-Stalinization. Don't look at me, I don't make them rules

      Yeah, I'm not as read up on all the history of the USSR between 1950 and 1990 as I'd like to be but someone in the comments did mention that the Hungary thing happened after Stalin lol.
