who is 'they'? do 'they' represent any 'socialist' (american definition? actual definition? not clearly defined?) political leaders and their positions? i hope i'm mistaken here, but it sounds a bit like you're trying to do exactly what camboy and other far right bootlickers tend to do: quote some nutjob with crazy ideas and pretend like that's accepted mainstream consensus amongst the group you're trying to smear.

just out of interest, did 'they' worship stalin and advocate for killing everyone opposing their ideas? again, you might want to take a closer look at what exactly the post you replied to says, mate.

This loser is defending literal communism

I rest my case

Don't think they worshipped stalin but this was the thread, and it was communism not socialism i was thinking of (myb). Have a read and give me your thoughts on the matter.

same people posting in agreement of commie and marxist/national/democratic socialism in that thread are the first to be sent on one-way train trips to the gulags by commisar cletus and commisar charles, all the while kicking and screaming “but we are on your side”

I wouldn't really characterize this as satire, but a response to conspiracism, which kinda is.

I gave up on kind

Sometimes, the conspiracy theorists are in your personal life.

Just my step brother but he did so much crystal meth he had a heart attack so no one takes him seriously.

Should have stand behind the other man, but true...
