STALIN WAS DEI! THE SOVIETS ARE DEI! frothing DEI DEI!hits blunt
Opus DEI
The orthodox-caltholic-communist cabal is DEIfying the world!
I’m going to be honest, I think that you might not be correct
The actual answer is that Stalin was responsible for killing a lot of nazis
That’s increasing the global Diversity, equity, and inclusion index, ergo they hate him because he’s the ultimate DEI minister
That’s a weird thing to say. I’ve seen many right wingers who dislike Lenin but like Stalin because they see Stalin as a figure who represents nationalism.
How does those peoples’ (Russians?) views contradict him being the minister for nationalities under Lenin?
I don’t know. I don’t think they think about it that much. Being a reactionary doesn’t require much thought. I have spoken with a few right wing people who live in Russia or other former Soviet Union states, some have told me that they think Stalin is good and Lenin was bad. Another example are the magacommunists and hinkledick.
The other thing is that right wingers don’t actually hate the concept of DEI itself. DEI is a dog whistle. Right wingers are racist against black people. “DEI” is a substitute for saying “black people”. Right wingers say they hate DEI because it’s a safe way for them to signal their racism. Hating Stalin for being the minister of nationalities would not signal racism, so why would they say that?
Imo, the joke goes “PCoN was created to do affirmative action for soviet minorities -> conservatives don’t like that -> it would be funny if, rather than hating Stalin because of anti communism, reactionaries hated him for racism”
Could be wrong tho, either way it’s a joke
Yeah, one of the telltale signs of a reactionary pseudo-marxist is upholding Stalin while denouncing or ignoring Lenin
same for the converse
