    Glorifying Nazis is like saying the n-word, the average westerner tries very hard to not sound racist while being obsessed by the fact that they are forbidden from publicly saying it

      And from a historian too! Shit isn’t even 10 years old and some dust in the lungs guy is like “aha! Lemme tell you bout dis Russia Cult”

      This on top of the general tone of “silly foreigners, we dogmatize our own history without laws”… just effin cherry

        Like, I don’t understand what he’s trying to say. Is he implying that anti-Nazi laws in Russia are due to pro-Soviet sentiments and therefore it’s cult mentality? It’s just weird to me how mad they are at governments enforcing anti-Nazism…

          Everything bad from the standpoint of US imperialism has been labeled a “cult” recently. It’s well on its way to becoming a completely meaningless term.

            in all honesty, MLMs use this argument to justify their support for Shining Path and the CPP-NPA-NDF
