When a communist is a communist, they tell us to speak to “the Russians”. When a Russian is a communist, its because they “never lived under the USSR”. If they’ve lived in the USSR, its because they were the “elites”. If they weren’t, then they were “brainwashed”. Maybe, just maybe, anti-communism just has no real scientific substance and survives entirely on idpol…
I know, but OP simply mentioned identity politics as a whole as bad, which is a thought I’ve seen shared by quite a few Marxists, sadly.
I was commenting on idpol as an argument against communism, specifically; apologies if misinterpreted.
