I like the fact there’s a book titled “total propaganda”

    Kotkin while he is a capitalist, is very good I've found just because it is very extensive at going through the Soviet archives and translating them. I do wish there was another historian who did that level of work on Stalin, but doesn't have brainworms. I'm more than fine with critiques of Stalin, just no brainworms.

      J Arch Getty? Still a bourgeois historian but much less of an axe to grind against communism than Kotkin.

      “Waiting for Hitler,” the worst of the Ryan Reynolds “Waiting” franchise. Shenanigans opens a branch in Buenos Aries, and guess who shows up for the grand opening?

          Deadpool and I murder Hitler together and then have a pansexual communist orgy on a pile of nazi bodies in a state of frenzied antifa bloodlust.

          Great movie. Freakishly high production values. Shot in imax 3D, even.
