    Can’t you see that you are pretty much doing psyop yourself? There’s no such thing as a good dictator. Stalin isn’t good because they sentenced to dead less political prisoners than the Tsar or Hitler. They are all shit. Do not worship a dictator.

      [Genie meme]

      You: I wish [“tankies”, or whatever else you want to call us] stopped worshiping dictators.

      Genie: Granted

      You: Nothing changed.

      Genie: Correct.

      fucking liberals

      I understand that you can’t understand our comments. I mean, if you did, you’d realise we don’t worship anyone.

      But… damn, you can’t even read the image in the post.

      You can find plenty of communist criticisms of Stalin. They appear on this forum from time to time.

      Maybe try engaging earnestly and give specifics. You may get even more context from us that might change your view. Or, hell, we might even agree with you. Stalin did good things. He also did some shit things.

      Instead, you’re relying off of the Stalin boogeyman myth that even the US government has admitted is false.

      The CIA admitted they invented the hogwash about Stalin being a dictator, and admitted he was merely the “captain of a team.”

      The only reason we think of him as a “dictator” here in the West is because anybody that has resisted the West’s demands for total prostration is a “dictator.” If you want examples of REAL dictators you should look to all of the right-wing egotistic maniacs the U.S. government sponsored from centuries past to the present.

      There is a difference between a “dictator” who kills fascists, capitalists, monarchists, slavers and saboteurs trying to actively destroy a system that is saving and uplifting hundreds of millions of lives, and an ACTUAL dictator who kills twice that number in women, children, socialists, racial minorities, sexual minorities, religious minorities, while plundering the country and essentially enslaving their own populace.
