I did know a guy in middle/high school that claimed to be a communist during this time but like no one wanted to kill him or anything over it. Since kids are taught that both fascism and communism are equally horrible, it's what we knew. It was just weird that a high schooler was pro-Stalin to us. I sometimes wonder what his politics are now. I got back in touch with him like a decade ago on Facebook but he wasn't ever openly political on there then. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be a chud though.
Kid sounds based, but yeah, wonder if it was just contrarionism or if they did the reading.
