  I may be wrong but I think they are sarcastically self-identifying as a tankie?

    I’m not a troll, I’m a 100% serious and proud Marxist-Leninist. And I think there was nothing wrong with Stalin selling lumber and steel to Nazi Germany in the 1930s to make weapons with. Because I’m a real communist!

      Ok but you are a troll. You’re just not very good at making jokes because when called out you are doubling down on being stupid

        How DARE you!? I would never satirize Marxist-Leninist positions to raise awareness of problems with the Soviet Union and promote anarchism as a viable alternative. Because anarchists are all stinky!

      selling lumber and steel to Nazi Germany in the 1930s

      Every future member of the Allies did this.

      What really separated the Soviets from other future Allies is [it approaching Britain and France on the eve of the war with an offer of an anti-Nazi pact.](

  The guy you’re responding to is a liberal doing a piss-poor satire of a ML.

  The students protests was quickly co-opted by nazi collaborators entirely unaffiliated with the students, it’d be like if Jan 6 happened during the 2020 protests.

  The government vindicating those protestors also built monuments to nazi collaborators.

  It’s a complex issue, the students had genuine issues the government was failing to address, but if the soviets didn’t step in, things would have been far, far worse. For comparison, here’s what tended to happen in countries that failed to stop the counterrevolution around that time.

    Yeah, that is why it was justified to shoot protesters. Because of what might have happened. The people are clearly misguided, we need to roll over them with tanks to prove we are the true proletariat. A lot of governments built monuments to Nazi collaborteurs. That doesn’t mean jack shit. Hitler was vegetarian and against animal abuse.

      If that’s what you think I’m suggesting, you need to work on your reading comprehension.

      There were protesters protesting for a change in government, there were organizers setting up alternative structures to compensate for the government’s failure, there were also fascists lynching government officials in the streets.

      Are you suggesting it would have been better to just let the fascists seize power?

      Oh lmao.

      For the record Hitler wasn’t vegetarian, he just consumed less mammal flesh than contemporaries of his station.

      He loved devilled pigeon hearts, for instance.
