I know this is a shitpost but I love when chuds or liberals ask me “what about Stalin then?” After I say I’m a communist. Idk, what about him? He’s dead, he has been dead for a long time, the world is not the same as it was then and won’t be. I don’t give a fuck about Stalin.

Now with communists there is good discussion to be had about Stalin, because I do actually give a fuck about him! However, as communists we know that past movements, revolutions, and the people involved in them are not blueprints but lessons on how to adapt to the material conditions of our time to create our own revolutionary movement.

tldr this meme is a joke but bad bc we only use the lessons of the past as shoulders on which we stand in an attempt to better understand how to act in the non-socialist present to craft a socialist future
