    Why does Stalin “rule”? This is a question from a fellow “leftist.”

    Either ignorant, or you’re just a really bad person. Just such a stupid fucking thing to say. Take a step back from the Internet and read a book. Saying “Stalin rules ✊” doesn’t make you cool, it just makes you look like an idiot.

    Stalin was a paranoid, murderous dictator responsible for the unnecessary deaths of countless millions of people. Or does it not count because he didn’t murder them himself?

    Can’t wait to hear about how the holomodor wasn’t his fault…

    The Communist Manifesto was basically a pamphlet written to be understood by mostly uneducated workers… There’s not much reason to have never read it at this point, regardless of personal politics.

    We’re not talking Atlas Shrugged or Das Kapital. It’s like 30 pages or something.
