Is it simply over-correcting in response to western anti-communist propaganda? I'd like to think it's simply memeing for memes sake, but it feels too genuine.

As an anarchist:

There's no such thing as "stalinism" and whatever you think that word means is some bullshit the US government told you to prevent solidarity among the working class.

There's a wikipedia page for the "holodomor" which is a Nazi conspiracy theory. There's a wikipedia page for the "uyghur genocide" which was made up by the CIA. There's a wikipedia page for plenty of shit that isn't real.
