"stalin this stalin that" the guy died in the 50s while their favorite "socialist" country is a white cracker country that exploits the global south and does eugenics.

    Yeah, I'm not too attached to them having the "correct" opinion of a Soviet leader who died before my parents were born.

      Frankly, I find Trots and LeftComs, who at least agree Lenin and the pre-Stalin USSR were cool and good, preferable to radlibs who denounce "Soviet-style socialism".

        I think Jamie and antifada Sean would fit in that the former here, but it's been a while since I've listened to anything either has said. Not that I find them particularly bad, there's just a lot of slop out there and I got shit to do.

      I think its really about the theory involved. If you denounce Stalin, you're trying to also denounce all of Marxism Leninism, its people, and its projects. There is critique, and then there is just throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
