communism is the only system capable of punching the capitalist exploiters in the face
So fucking based
:honecker-interesting: :GDR: The Journalist has his twitter Avi as Erich Honecker and his banner the DDR flag. Folks, is it possible for one to become this level of based?
I find it darkly funny how this wouldn't fly for someone who'd want to keep their career in the US, a country which hasn't existed under an (openly) fascist dictatorship.
Or even germany, saying anything positive about the DDR is career suicide.
On the other hand, it is perfectly acceptable in Germany to speak of "both of the German dictatorships", drawing a false equivalency between the DRR and literal Adolf fucking Hitler.
Germany, at least, was under a fascist state with remnants in the west (and now unified). So it makes sense. The United States, on the other hand, never ripped off the mask completely and took a plunge into full fascism like Spain or Germany did.
Franco didn't purge the country of basedness. He just repressed it.
Except for his Putin thing in the follow up although he said just to fuck with the other dude who interjected.
It's actually an extremely effective rhetorical tactic because now it's really hard for anyone else to bring Putin into it to make him look bad.
I assume Euro Thanksgiving is for being grateful that those weird puritans fucked off to go somewhere else.
Harvest festivals are a universal thing. Wouldn't surprise me if American cultural exportation influences them too.
Every time someone calls me a tankie, I shall respond with this journalist.
