    There’s a megathread on their front page right now dedicated to Joseph Stalin. Now, they’ll argue all day over semantics and adamantly state that Stalin was merely a misunderstood communist, but functionally there’s no difference between how he ran Russia compared to the shit going on in Germany and Italy at the time. The guy was a fascist dictator who murdered millions of people, including the members of the opposition he ordered to be executed. Not to mention the forced labor camps (Gulag), the censorship, government control of all media, state-authorized violence and murder…these are the things their hero did. They are in no way indicative of left wing tenets, nor are they merely anti-capitalist in nature. That shit goes way beyond hating capitalism…that is fuckin’ fascism.
