They don't have the faintest clue who Lenin, Stalin, or Mao were and they kind of imagine all of them to be one guy who may as well be called Communism

badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Communism is when speed up black and white archive footage of troops running, Stalin waving and the narrator using words like "doctrine" and "fanatic". But sometimes it can be books with titles like "soul harvest" and "blood empire" with big letters on the cover.
For every unsurrendered toothbrush
I shall kill a million more
If they’re genuinely talking about Lenin and not merging him with Stalin, a lot of libs and reactionaries blame the Russian Civil war on the Bolsheviks, not you know the the whites, pogroms, the western invasion/blockade, all the historic conditions and contradictions etc. Plus exaggerate the red terror.
If you press them they will literally blame the massacres committed by the White Army and allied Imperial states on Lenin and the Bolsheviks in a kind of "Look what you made me do" thing
Libs are deranged
Same as the tendency to blame both soviet and nazi dead solely on Stalin.
At least half of liberals would tell you Marx was the first leader of the Soviet Union or something, so I wouldn't take them seriously.
I actually saw a Zitter post once where someone claimed Marx killed millions.
They are the same libs who believe Marx was a Stalinist tankie: deeply unserious people who don't know what words mean.
Lenin was a communist. Communists believe in collectivism. Thus, Lenin (and every dirty commie) is equally responsible for the 900,000,000,000 dead people communism brought about.
gommunism
Probably talking about the ‘Red Terror’, some of the more unhinged estimates of deaths are in the millions I think (although it was nowhere near that in reality)
Not Stalin’s dead, comrade. Our dead. Transitive lroperty of communism or w/e.
war communism and the cheka, presumably
They confuse Stalin with Lenin and other Soviet leaders. Just as they confuse Che Guevara with Fidel and Raul Castro, I doubt that most liberals know that Che was actually Argentinian.
