My dad called me one last week. I told him I’m not even a communist, just a moderate social democrat who likes Soviet symbols for the shock value. (Not true, I’m a Marxist-Leninist, but gotta keep the peace with family, IYKYK.) But now I’m wondering, is “Stalinism” even a thing? Are any of you bears “Stalinists”?


I wish we could summon Stalin from the underworld to actually be those cranks’ nightmare.
And someone will probably call me a Stalinist for saying that.
