This shit is deranged on so many levels, I love it

An educated Marxist-Leninist such as Putin accepted that there had been more than 100 million victims of communism, an acceptable price to pay to remodel the world. He accepted the purges that Lenin and Stalin used to cement their rule, the forced famines that eliminated enemies of the state, the forced labor camps in Siberia, the tight control of all media. Putin studied the techniques of agitation and propaganda, applying them in his KGB assignment in Dresden in East Germany during the Cold War.

    Noted communist Vladimir Putin on communism

    Whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no heart. Whoever wants it back has no brain.

    communism is a blind alley, far away from the mainstream of civilization

        I've been told the same thing by hogs on the DNC being a cabal of Communists intent on subverting America.

        It's even funnier because they know I'm a literally open card-carrying communist that adheres to the Marxist-Leninist line.

        They changed their wording to say the libs are maoist instead of communist now which is 100 times funnier since I'm "one of the absolutely wrong but good ones"

            I'm happy enough my hogs at least know bernie was the most radical out of all the candidates so I never had the chance to split my sides at being told to vote for Yang because communism is free stuff.

      Nothing more Marxist-Leninist than paraphrasing Reagan about liberals and conservatives.

      i mean, hell, putin literally blames Lenin for the present crisis in Ukraine more than the United States. He basically views Lenin as having been naive for giving Ukraine parts of the Donbass region. He said "Lenin was a revolutionary, not a statesman." and refers to the invasion of Ukraine not just as "denazification" but also "decommunization." He views the Banderites in West Germany is being a product of Nazism, and he views the Russian separatists in Donbass as a product of Lenin's poor statecraft.
