    Russian politics were literally cursed by a witch. If you talk about them you will wither away to a tiny locust by the age of 80 and die from being vored by a crow.

      Just seems like the "russia bad" veneer is very effective among westerners still, and everything Russian is automatically downgraded one level of "basedness" in their minds. An extremely disciplined, successful and principled communist party would be seen as mid. A mid revisionist party would be seen as evil. Whereas in the USA, the mid revisionist parties all get the benefit of the doubt and are not considered evil nazbols automatically.

        If you're still referring to the CPUSA, most people around here seem to take a pretty dim view of them, at best, so idk how much "benefit of the doubt" they're getting.

      That's a pretty metal way to die; do I really have to wait until I'm 80+?

        Well I'm not an actual HEXbearer so I couldn't tell you but it should be proportional to your engagement with the discourse. I advise you to talk about the Russian communists as much as possible to expedite things.
