Good point. And thanks for the link, it has a lot of interesting information with sources.
My former (he is now retired) school principal was somehow like that. He once said “Stalin killed more people than Hitler”. He also called the north Koreans “idiots” — like that’s totally not racism, which he claims to oppose. He also ranted about how Russia is building up its army, while ignoring the NATO provocations at the border and that NATO is building up its army too. Apparently he thought that Putin was a Stalinist (whatever that means…)
At the same time, he criticized far-right neo-fascists that are becoming stronger in this country. He talked about how the [bourgeois] democracy is important, while at the same saying that it will fall when the conditions worsen. Weird guy. A tool of western imperialism. And many of his remarks only help the fascists, whom he claims to oppose.
(I don’t live in what formerly was the USSR. I live in Germany — one of the core imperialist countries. I was born in Russia, and my ancestors all lived in the USSR, though.)
