Okay so I was wondering why Stalin got the most flack of the Cold War propaganda, at least in my experience growing up in the U.S., He’s the only Soviet Leader we were “taught” about. Sorry if this is dumb.

    western “”“leftists”“” are just too propagandized to see through the bullshit, while also often being too arrogant to accept that they’re still being led astray on stuff after accepting that the rich have always lied about socialist movements.

    In my opinion, and based on what I’ve observed and experienced, every ML in the imperial core has to have a moment in their past where they learn about something the bourgeoisie lied about, and then everything clicks for them and they migrate into Marxism-Leninism. And I hope all of the losers who post anarchist memes on twitter, or get into pointless fights over long-dead politicians have their eye-opening moment.

        Learning of the Panthers and how far the state went to suppress and ultimately murder them was my turning point.

          Something similar for me. Seeing the US just bomb a Allende when he didn’t put proper protection against the US in place just messed with me
