    Are y'all like, chuds who bought into Fox News propaganda that AOC was literally the next Stalin and then the only thing that changed was that you started thinking that was good? It's baffling to me how this site keeps getting completely shocked that AOC isn't something she never claimed to be.

      Its equally shocking that socialists should want to expose and resist liberals coopting "socialism" to divert people from building actual socialism into supporting a bourgeois imperialist party :thinkin-lenin:

        Well damn thank you for exposing AOC for not supporting Stalin I would not have known that if not for your noble efforts.

        I wouldn't mind as much if we had more variety. Just seems like AOC lives rent free in a lot of people's heads.

        There should be a rule that for every post dunking on AOC you also have to dunk on a random congressperson who's not in the squad.

      I think it's a fascist plot to undermine the left by shifting the narrative.

      Universal healthcare, free higher education, and labor rights? Nah, Stalin did nothing wrong, guillotine everyone who owns private property, and all mainstream news is CIA disinfo.

      In terms of framing, don't be surprised when the next wave of false flag domestic terrorism is going to be dressed in red hammers and sickles.

        This sort of shift is especially sus when it's coupled with dismissing all progress towards those first few things as not worth bothering with. When you can't even muster a "critical support" for the likes of AOC, that's an issue.

          And when the highlighted criticism isn't even about capitalism, but imperfect idpol, it makes the propaganda all the more transparent.
