      Yeah, communist authoritarianism is not a thing.

      You’re thinking of literal fascist anti-communist propaganda and using a very basic knowledge of anything leftist/communist-related to fill-in the rest

          Exactly what I was referring to… A bunch of the same old tired talking points that you’ve never actually bothered to look into.

          "The US has basically lied since its founding, but they would NEVER lie to ME about Stalin or the USSR. And I know this because I saw a whole tiktok video once and a meme that said “commie bad”

              No, that’s not what I’m arguing. You just can’t read well.

              Also, what opponents? Name them since you’re such am expert

                Seems like you’re implying the US is lying about the horrible things done by Stalin and the USSR, aka implying they didn’t happen AKA “arguing that Stalin did not purge political opponents”

                Bukharin, Rykov, Tukhachevski, Ryutin, Kamenev, Zinoviev, Trotsky, Tomsky, Smirnov, Ter-Vaganyan, Eidemanis, Blyukher…

                I could go on for pages. Men, who had ensured that the Soviet Union even existed and who were executed on Stalin’s orders.
