Can we share comics with the Dunk Tank? It's certainly worthy of it, doing that classic Liberal trope of glossing briefly over the things the Nazis were doing to quickly focus on the ebils of gommulism. I only briefly skimmed it, it was really wrong about a lot so I didn't bother reading more but the characterization of the Molotov-Ribbentop pact as Hitler and Stalin being a twee partnership only for Stalin to be suddenly shocked by Hitlers betrayal is awful.
Tried to find a pirate link to share but it's pretty new and graphic novels are kind of hard to find online
splitting all ideology into "authoritarianism" and "everything else idk" is the true brainworm queen. all bloated, being hand fed by the others, and continuously reproducing.
why trump
I mean I know why but why. Liberals don't believe in the dictatorship of the b-...bad guys. Why does bad president make the country a dictatorship.
Because he's been the writer's podcast meal ticket since 2016 at least, as far as I can tell and they are trying very hard to make a connection where there isn't one, I'm pretty sure they're Russiagaters.
Because Trump broke the illusion of the president being respectable. While we've had inhuman monsters who abuse their power in charge before (every president, for example), he put it all in the open. Like it's semi-common practice to steal elections but Trump called for the election to be stolen openly, instead of having a bunch of staffers in suits break into the room where they count the votes in florida.

More like rubbed their faces in their pretending about it
describing politics as domestic violence has got to be one of the worst trends. it doesn't get called out how emotionally manipulative to just analogy everything to something horrifying that your boyfriend did. "Victim blaming" is something society does to rape victims, it doesn't mean nothing bad ever happens to people or groups that was their fault. What a world where people can unironically say "you're victim blaming Ukraine" and they don't immediately get drowned in laughter.
Neoliberalism is a system of rational fascism that is able to manufacture consent so well it can portray the liberators as simply as bad as the fascists of yore without nuance and face no pushback.
Stalin saved the world from fascism.
How much of that was Joe Steel himself as opposed to the red army as a whole?
A very small part, the whole of the USSR was responsible; especially due to the sacrifices and hard times the folks living there went through just to be the largest force in defeating european fascism. Every socialist who fought in Europe in Europe was responsibly for defeating fascism. In reality Stalin was not the sole person responsible for every decision and event in the USSR, he was only one representative part of a more cohesive whole, but reminding liberals that in their eyes if they childishly view Stalin as the sole person responsible for every decision in the Soviet Union during his tenure as General Secretary then he's also the man who had the guts to finally put the end to the holocaust and give Nazis the most impossible conflict. Socialists saved the world from German Fascism, but Stalin represents the most successful movement that was able to do so.
To be fair, after his significant blunder of underestimating how quickly the Nazis would attack, he turned out to be an excellent strategist in the war, and despite being inadequately prepared for the attack even the state they were in was significantly due to Stalin (not alone, but included) having years before the Pact identified Hitler and Nazism as a mortal threat that the Red Army needed to prepare for, and pursued various measures to that end.
