i think so

someone needs to tell the EU to require all devices to be serviceable with screws….

The point I was trying to make was that Stalin and his followers claimed to represent Communism when they in fact did not (not even close).

that was the point i was making

my point is that stalin didn’t represent communism, as is widely claimed

not sure what “logic” you used to get to that…
many people do claim that all criticism of israel is just antisemitism, nobody claims that criticism of nazis is a criticism of the german people.

some people have claimed that socialism, which is part of the nazi acronym, is bad because nazis are bad… but that’s pretty rare, so not worth noting when talking about them.

I don’t want to have to start wearing rainbow knee-length socks

it’s pretty obvious that you do

what a lame troll

certainly not you arguing that i said something i didn’t, and then that i shouldn’t say something

Stalin tied himself to communism as much as possible, all critics of communism tie Stalin to communism as much as possible.
think reeeeeLly hard about how that might be a relevant point to be had.
also lemmy is chock full of tankies tying stalin to communism but pretending like he was super good and all of the bad things he did were western propaganda

no i’m not, i also don’t care about arguing with someone this dense

because it’s Stalin, former leader of the USSR…
commonly used as an example of why communism is so bad.
you’re really confused about that?

Unless you think communism can’t exist outside of a brutal dictatorship.

literally the opposite of that

“i call this poem ‘20,000 e-mails from jeffrey epstein’”

fuck off, tankie swine

The problem is that the economic part can’t work without an evenly matched societal system

well that’s absurd, and exactly why the tankies are shilling so hard

i’d like to point out that communism is an economic system whereas democracy is a social one, they are not incompatible concepts….

just because Stalin wasn’t a very communist regime but was brutally authoritarian and is widely criticized as “what communism is like”.

because they’re Tankies

when researching cancer drugs, yeah

well no, they kill cancer in petri dishes

it’s true… i’ve found them like that and my friend told me that’s why….
also i’m in california and everyone smokes weed and glass pipes are cheap and everywhere.
i really hate the “disposable” usb-c rechargeable vapes that can’t be refillable by law….

they use a lot of other things… including living human cancer cells in a petri dish
