He has below average literacy of theory , even for a Stalinist

🤣

>When even the communists hate the stalinists! 🤣

Cromwell didnu nuffin wrong

Most communists do , they ruined our reputation among the common people

true

Stalinists are only barely considered communists to begin with, in a token "left unity" way

lol

I'm center-left myself but all of my commie friends do think stalin is a monster equivalent to hitler

gods i'm feeling so nostalgic today

I don't know any unironic stalinists who are actually sane

tbh all stalinists I've encountered online are these weird pegging connoisseurs with anime avatars

Discord hard left is weirde

There is legitimate wars over anime

ouf

I had some guys who argued that Stalin was a great guy and the USSR was fantastic

Usually tankies are the anti anime gang

but animu is capitalist!

We dislike anime here, but only ironically.

tankies = pro DPRK/stalin right?

Largely yes,

tankies?

DPRK though is less likely to be supported

Tankie is a derogatory term used by hard leftists to refer to stalinists

well yeah if you're going to ban all personal freedom then it makes sense to hate anime too

oh

Because of red Hungary and czechslovakia

but i'm a full on capitalist

yet i like animu

Where the ussr pushed tanks into 2 states

ah

Hence the nickname

well how important is the fact that it's used by lefties tho I've seen wokieleaks and even some right-wingers use it

Tankies

though mostly 70's to late 90's/early 2000's animu

Tankie?

Well it's fairly old and been around a while

yep

Regardless, the main ideology behind post Lenin ussr was known as Marxism Leninism (Lenin and marx didn't produce it, they were "honoured" by the developer of it, Stalin)

I'm trying to think if I ever watched an anime with Marxist themes. Maybe the Japanese artists don't even know it exists?
