“Communism bad”

“Why?”

200 year old tropes so ancient they were debunked by Marx himself

Of course, you go through the motions of explaining the most basic political concepts that could be grasped by skimming the cliff notes for literally any Marxist works

“Friedrich Engels? Is he like the president of Germany or something?”

It’s like a kindergartener trying to teach you calculus.

Liberals keep saying history is written by the winners while simulatenously believing everything Westerners wrote about communism after the Cold War.

    You also get libs from ex-socialist countries that go

    "You wouldn't like communism like I lived it in x Warsaw pact country " smuglord

    Then they follow that with the most racist, fascistic thing possible. Happens everytime

    It could be as G!merbrained as seeing the winners writing the history as based because that just means the winningest winners deserved to win, every time. Secular Calvinist shit.

    Nah, I think that those two takes, like many others, just exist in separate, frictionless vacuums for libs; the metaphorical venn diagram has no overlap to them.

    History is written by the winners only applies to bad country, and Communism is bad because I was told that in school.
