"Well, everybody except for political dissidents, minorities, Jews, anyone who openly disagrees with me, and anyone I suspect of privately disagreeing with me".

Reminder to all my queer friends that homosexuality was criminalized under Stalin's regime, and was not repealed until the Soviet Union collapsed.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa calm down with the russophobic, sinophobic, orientalist, reactionary liberal rhetoric, pal. The preferred term is "antisocial parasite".

Stalin Communism is unique. Normal Communism allows the proletariat to embrace themselves and become equal. Stalin Communism allows the proletariat to embrace and become PAPA STALIN

Yeah! Stalin brainwashed the entire population of the Soviet Union. Surely they don't love him for helping to bring about prosperity and wellbeing in a large area of the world that was severely lacking in these things prior to the October revolution. It also can't be because his army was the primary factor in destroying a fascist invasion. It's amazing how so many people are so quick to dismiss the simplest and factually correct answer when it comes to do with anything related to socialism.

Do we just conveniently forget Holodomor, when Stalin starved millions of Ukrainians?

[–] o_d@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Lol. Lmao even. Yeah Stalin with his big spoon ate up all the grain leaving none for the people. Forget the fact that famines were just a thing that happened back then. It happened fairly often under tsarist Russia. This was the last famine they would face because the Soviet leadership learned from it how to prevent it from happening again. Again, not bothering to consider the simplest answer because Stalin wanted to starve his own people for reasons.

Are we just saying nazi propaganda now? It was turned into a genocide from a famine that the Soviets were partially responsible for by nazi press like hearst press. The holodomor myth was straight up used to excuse the mass killing of Jewish folks.

The biggest atrocity of this comic is that it's read like a manga

I prefer the left to right reading, where Karl knows what Joe is up to before he even starts.
