Been seeing a lot of people coming in here handwringing about 'red fash' and 'muh authoritarianism.'

Figuring that this will be a common occurrence for a while, so wanted to make a collective thread here. The purpose of this is to just have one spot as so we don't fill up the comm with a ton of posts about it.

Post away, comrades!

    "Hey fellow leftists! Don't we all like to obsess about the zero people run over by tanks in Tienanmen Square because we like to repeat CIA propaganda? And misspell the name to show how much we care? Also, have you hear this Nazi holocaust denial about a double genocide where the people that saved Europe from the Nazis are actually bad? Yeah, socialism is repeating things the CIA and Nazis make up about Actually Existing Socialism, and the more falsehoods you spread, the more pro-left you are."

        I mean, there are two major systems of transliteration and that's following neither of them, nor the official Roman Alphabet name or the common accepted spelling in anglophone press. So there are many standards of plausible spelling and it matches none of them.
