The problem with the leftist half-wits is that they don't understand and don't know what Chekism and Stalinism are. They don't understand, how is it that leftists on the other side of the globe are more conservative? Then they are fascists! They build churches? They are retrogrades! They are against outside migrants and gays??? They are absolutely, positively fascists!
Meanwhile, none of this contradicts Stalinism. Lots of churches and Christians? The ROC is entirely Stalin's creation, he restored communion with the church during the war by taking the initiative from the Nazis who restored the Orthodox churches, he put Chekists in the priesthood and now the church is completely pro-Communist, Patriarch Kirill used to make no secret of his collaboration with the KGB.
Stalin relocated entire nations, he did it with the Chechens, he literally created other nations, no Uzbeks and Ukrainians existed before his national policy. Stalin shot gays, Yagoda and Yezhov are prime examples. The roots of your Marxism are in Trotskyism, the roots of Chinese and Russian Marxism are in Stalinism. You can argue with me, but what about Lenin? Leninist Marxism was shot along with the Leninists, such are the laws of the nomenklatura class. Lenin literally failed at the transitional stage of the practical implementation of the Soviet project, the Russians did not want to be thrown into the furnace of the world revolution and staged the Kronstadt Rebellion, this is what forced Lenin to introduce the NEP, he literally arranged market socialism late in life, unable to abandon the concept of the impossibility of building socialism in a single country, and what did Stalin do? He refused. He pretended to have no ambition, but he only pretended. You have a conflict of Marxist worldviews and you are idiots. Until the Marxists in the West understand that Putin is only pretending, they will consider him a fascist, a conservative, an imperial clown, whatever. Putin is a Chekist and a Stalinist, a member of the nomenklatura class who got there from the bottom of the class. You will never understand his motivations without understanding these facts. He can pretend in public to condemn Stalinism, put up monuments to the Russian Tsars, quote Ilyin, but he does other things - he declares the Memorial which covers the crimes of Stalinism as foreign agents, in the Stalinist tradition, he kills nationalists in prisons, pays 20 million to Africa to buy the loyalty of small countries, all in the tradition of Soviet foreign policy, RT will broadcast one thing in America and another in Russia, this is an old Soviet propaganda method.
As long as you don't realize all this, you're morons.
