Every communist has a favourite crop. For Khrushchev it was corn. For Lukashenko it is the potato.
Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko has conceded he is still lagging far behind Joseph Stalin or Bolshevik Revolution leader Vladimir Lenin.
They should not be demonized, he stressed. “They were our leaders: Lenin created the state, while Stalin strengthened it,” Lukashenko stated talking to Russian journalists on Tuesday.He noted that his opinion about the two Communist leaders is different from that in Russian society. “How will we be assessed in 50 years? If a trend similar to that in the West is supported, then I would be worse than Stalin: who walked the streets, caught people, ate them – particularly women,” he noted ironically, as cited by Interfax. Europeans do not criticize their own history, Lukashenko observed.

Chairman Gonzalo and Pol Pot probably also had some pretty nice things to say about Lenin
They probably have better claims to being communists honestly. Like you can be fucked and be a communist
Is he really harvesting potatoes in his underwear?
Yes I know they're shorts, but come on you can't look at them and tell me you don't think the dude's rocking the white undershirt and boxer look
Just realized that he looks like Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force in this
I am neither with the leftists nor the rightists. But with the people against those who rob and deceive them
- Alexander Lukashenko (italics added by me for emphasis)
in an apparent riposte to [Guido Westerwelle] branding him "Europe's last dictator," said: "Better to be a dictator than gay."
“I forgive women for their lesbianism, but I will never in my lifetime forgive men for being gay,” he added “A woman becomes a lesbian only if we men are so wretched.”
as an enby, I can kinda tolerate queerphobic revolutionaries from centuries past, but this was said like 30 years after stonewall. not being queerphobic is a requirement for being communist past like 1990. Not to derail your veggie post, I'm a potato fan myself, but it rubs me the wrong way when people call those who would prefer me deported/jailed/worse "communists"
edit: new one
Jews were able to make the world remember [the Holocaust], and the whole world bows to them, being afraid of saying one wrong word to them
:yikes:
Latvia cannot into potato because of Sovyet collapse. Needs trade now.
