It’s fine if you agree with the message (I do too) but Pol Pot should be here, not Stalin.

    The Khmer Rouge executed monks, destroyed temples and pagodas, killed people who were discovered praying or expressing religious sentiment and forced Muslims to eat pork and killed them if they refused.

    Stalin’s government never did any of this, so why is he here? If anything, Pol Pot should take Stalin’s role in this image.

      Simple: Because liberals never heard of, or care enough to learn more, especially about Pol Pot. Their knowledge is limited to only the Global North and couldn’t care less about what non-white people do.

      If either of them had led a revolution and then assumed leadership of the new revolutionary state they would be just as hated by your average western lib as Stalin. The only difference between a “good” revolutionary and a bad one in the eyes of the western left is whether they fail or succeed.

      Failure is practically worshipped as a saintly virtue while successful revolution and seizure of state power is seen as the work of the devil himself.

      You cannot tell me that this perennial loserdom cult is not the work of Cointelpro.

    So basically what they’re trying to say is all the good guys are Americans.

    Also it is hilarious that anyone thinks Bill Gates is a good guy, literally one of the worst exploiters of the working class of the last 50 years.

    It’s also interesting to note that apart from Stalin the other two “baddies” were at one point or another supported and well liked by the imperialists until they turned on them.

      Interesting observation actually. Goes back to the point made by Yoghthos recently, regarding the complete assimilation expected by the libs

    They should switch places, gates is a Davos billionaire that actively pushes an eco-fascist agenda of genociding the global South, while buying copious amounts of land in the US and other countries, because, paraphrasing sankara “the one who feeds you controls you”

    Because Pol Pot was installed by the CIA and killed communists. Therefore making him a good (or at least “complicated”) character in the eyes of the people making this junk
