No; it was perfectly clear. Who can you even point to in our society comes even remotely close to aligning with Soviet ideals? Like who are you even talking about? Nobody with leftist ideals thinks that the Soviet regime did things right.
- jibe 4y agoNow? Of course not, it would look stupid. At the time? The Soviets had plenty of advocates on the left.
- binbashthefash 4y agoNot to rain on the parade but we have an entire sub-section on the 'left' who idolizes Stalin and will defend even the worst Soviet atrocities. We call them 'tankies'
- KennyBlanken 4y agoThe person you're replying to was speaking informally. Informally, they're correct: tankies are a tiny minority. That's not even accounting for the fact that many of them are trolls, teenagers who bumbled across some old manifestos and think they're the most amazing thing ever, Russian/Chinese trying to shit-stir, or conservatives false-flagging to have a boogieman to point a finger at. Tankies are not part of any important political dialog or decision-making. They are irrelevant.
