I fucking love that he chose to call them stalinists. In addition to it being true, it send a fuck you to the alt-right and the alt-left (who love to talk up stalin as of late)

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 16 points 1 week ago (15 children)

Who, you know, MIGHT be real people but probably aren’t for the most part..

I just assume any .ml account is a propaganda bot. Because even if they are real people.. they are propaganda bots.

Lemmy is far too small to bot.
lemmy.ml is just friendly to those people, so it attracts them.

From someone who has gone to more than a few political protests and rallies in Boston:

Every fucking time Socialist Alternative shows up, it’s fine until some edgelord dipshit unfurls the fucking huge Soviet flag with Stalin and Mao silk screened on it. It’s like they’re trying to alienate reasonable people as well as historically-informed people. I consider myself a staunch socialist. I also outright detest Stalin and Mao because they were fucking authoritarian despots who wrapped their regimes in “communism” banners.

Sure, some of the systems at lower levels were socialistic, but at the end of the day, it was all in service to the cult of personality in charge of the whole gig. And yes, that’s what the US has devolved into (and arguably had done so quite a while ago, just not so overtly), but that doesn’t excuse Stalin or Mao, nor does it justify being an apologist for them.

stalin also evetuanlly purged his own loyalists after becoming paranoid.

I mean a less harsh version of that has been going on. Trump has ejected many people that used to be in his inner circle, and has, or has tried, to fire almost the whole federal government, too many people who got there without him to trust

Not exactly. While I understand the satisfaction of seeing these asshats getting their faces eaten by the leopard, the ones being purged are the ones that are most likely to keep him somewhat in check, leaving only scared little yes men behind.

Too many people here just blindly hating on Bernie and nitpicking how "Stalinism is technically incorrect". Where's the Trump hate? Bring some of that shit out. I'll start.

Fuck Trump, MAGA, and their entire cult of personality.

It turns out the Red Scare was about the wrong Reds the whole time.

The Democrats should OFFICIALLY declare the Republican Party dead, and only refer to the MAGA Party from now on. Do an actual press conference, and make an official announcement - the Republican Party no longer exists, and has been replaced by the MAGA Party. That will make the traditional Republicans absolutely crazy, and the Dems should keep it up.

Never use the word Republican ever again, refer only to the MAGA, or MAGA Nazi Party. On talk shows, interviews, sound bites, fundraising texts, etc., use the term MAGA Party exclusively. When asked about it, simply say casually and matter-of-factly "The Republican Party is dead, they are the MAGA Party from now on," and leave it at that. Make the MAGAs cry.

How exactly are these kindergarten word games going to stop fascism? I'm asking seriously.

I cannot imagine being enough of a sycophant to wear a hat that says "Trump was right about everything". Nobody's right about everything, and Trump is less right about things than most people because he's incredibly stupid.

I voted for him in the primary, then in the general as a write in and I would fucking do it again. Bern the billionaire's faces off.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'd argue it's a satanist party as well. They're doing all the shit that was prophesized that the devil would make dumb people do, worshipping false idols, worshipping money, getting the mark of the beast, that sort of shit

This is coming from an staunch atheist who just notices the irony

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 20 points 1 week ago

I was confused on what was Satanic until I realized you were talking about the Christian version on Satanic and not the Church of Satan.

I was super surprised by the irony after I saw all those golden idols of trump. If I was a Christian I would be highly offended at these people trying to align with me. Those are $100 bills with trumps face on it, that they covered the goat idol. 2 separate events. 1 was a CPAC and 1 was at Mara Lago. 🙄

Hah use their communist rhetoric back at them

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (5 children)

The GOP has become a Stalinist Party

They haven't killed remotely enough fascists to earn this distinction.
