What I find really interesting is that this guy is basically a liberal, yet he has the decency to question the propaganda and breaks the basics down very well.

    The rebranding of Stalin as this homophobic dudebro conservative “hard man making hard choices, while triggering the libs but in a non-chud way” - mind you which is even done inside modern russia & georgia - has been absolutely beneficial to crowd of mostly (white) men that never grew out of their edgy 4chan phase and refuse to dismantle their various isms because its all just “identity politics” (never mind that libs appropriate and deformed it from socialists in the first place)

    Its basically capitulation to willingly accept the narratives of the ruling class.

        Yeah they see him as this ultimate machismo figure. Tito & Fidel are also popular for this reason with these types of “leftists”.

          Those people just want a cool iPhone screensaver and a phonk song to match. Aesthetics are everything to them, they couldn’t care less about feeding the starving masses
