“stalin this stalin that” the guy died in the 50s while their favorite “socialist” country is a white cracker country that exploits the global south and does eugenics.

I’ll often see these same western leftists bring up Cuba as a defense of socialism, which seems to make them stumble less often. Cuba’s a very clear case of socialism defending itself against external hegemony.
I’d like to see that more often. Seems like even the most confused leftists aren’t so harsh on Cuba, but that could be the lack of propaganda talking. The usual enemies are Stalin, China, DPRK. Cuba’s not a threat to anyone.
Although what I’d really prefer is western leftists to focus on local issues that impact working class people. Talking about other countries (outside the context of American imperialism) and historical figures from 70 years ago just doesn’t do it. There’s enough capitalism here at home to fight against, we don’t need to relitigate revolutions that happened thousands of miles away.

It’s also a case of how strong American propaganda is, despite the obvious truth just south of them. Sure, most leftists might be at least ambivalent on Cuba, but you will always have the Gusano Defense brigade talking about what an evil dictatorship it is and every political talking head center and right nodding their heads. Even “progressive” Liberals who are against America’s blatant imperialism accept the premise that it’s a dictatorship.

i seriously think this is in no small part due to fidel being cool & on TV. like young stalin has a bit of cool cred but he was actually mostly a nerd/bureaucrat after becoming important. fidel? exuded cool, never stopped being cool, and got loads of free cool from yankee writers wanting to use him as a cool character. also he visited the US & spoke a bitta english (nevermind spanish being the second language of the US)
this is why i advocate for a cult of personality but NOT foisted on the most diligent or important members of the government----it must be the coolest :fidel-cool:

um actually expertise is stalinist-tankiest authoritarianism and that’s wrong :very-smart:
I don’t understand the need to post about everything, if you aren’t sure just don’t comment?
If you don’t think Stalin would’ve made a great sexy librarian with a thicc dumpy that can seduce you by educating you in another life, then you haven’t read enough on Stalin to formulate an accurate opinion
