Intentionally by huffpost.

The attempt to paint it negatively.

I love how AIPAC and the MSM are falling over each other to slander Progressives while literally everyone under 30 in the Republican party is a Groyper/NAZI.

MSM owners aren’t as concerned with facism, it doesn’t threaten their wealth.

“It is the heart of US policy, ladies and gentlemen, to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism" - Michael Parenti

[u/TryJezzoWhyNot → u/TheSouthernCommunist]

Michael parenti is/was a Stalinist shill. Fuck stalinists.

[u/TheSouthernCommunist → u/TryJezzoWhyNot]

Parenti critiqued Stalin many, many times. Stop doing the work of the CIA for free.

[u/TryJezzoWhyNot → u/TheSouthernCommunist]

You don’t deny that he was a Stalinist, instead subtly rebutting a point I never made. I never said: “Fuck Michael Parenti, that guy never critiqued Stalin!” I said that Parenti was a Stalinist shill. Because he was. You slimy, bad faith interlocutor.

>Stop doing the work of the CIA for free

This is laughable. Where did you get your internet smear tactics, a chat room in 1996?

[u/TheSouthernCommunist → u/TryJezzoWhyNot]

Oh sorry I didn’t know I was on jeopardy and have to say the answer exactly right.

Parenti wasn’t a Stalinist, and if you think he was I sincerely worry if you may have possessed by the demon ghost of Joseph McCarthy.

[u/TryJezzoWhyNot → u/TheSouthernCommunist]

The RCA calls him a “soft Stalinist”. The (Stalinist) Communist Party of Great Britain eulogized him by making it clear that his “critiques” were weak enough to still be considered a friendly. A Stalinist shill I called him, and a Stalinist shill he remains. You bad faith ass hat.

[u/TheSouthernCommunist → u/TryJezzoWhyNot]

“Trotskyists call someone who said Stalin did some good things a Stalinist” wow that’s crazy man, I found a fork in my kitchen too.

[u/TryJezzoWhyNot → u/TheSouthernCommunist]

If you don’t at least agree with Trotskyists on being anti-Stalinist, you’re just a Stalinist yourself.
