- bearmode 4y agoMaybe if you're talking about anglosphere 'communists' who follow people like Vaush online. Nothing communist about them.
- antifa 4y agoNo true Scotsman. V**sh is cursed/cringe/etc., but we can't exclude his fans from the label merely on the basis of his ideology being garbage/wrong/anglocentric.
- bearmode 4y agoWe can exclude his fans on the basis that they don't believe what communists believe.
- atoav 4y agoI am not talking about them. I am talking about people who are all about worker rights, unions and class struggle — you know — the things that are in the actual communist manifesto. Whether that fits the people arround that "Vaush" — I don't know — but I can tell you as somebody who studied philosophy at a highly political campus, that the amount of communists who think the soviets (or china for that matter) are anything else than a failure is very low. A few of those strange people exist, but I wish the number of right wingers who think Hitler was a great guy was equally low.
