      Because no actual communist would say anything of the sort.

          Yes, they absolutely would because Stalin, Lenin, and Mao drastically improved the conditions for the working majority. For example https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25495509/

          The overwhelming majority of Marxists worldwide do. Opposition to those 3 is largely a western thing.

              The ritualistic demonization of revolutionaries is largely a western tradition.

                Thats a funny take given American history (revolutionary war and the near deity status those revolutionaries have here) and contemporary attitudes. Can’t say much more or I’m betting it’ll be removed.

                  American “revolutionairy”: Slaveowning rapist bourgeois wannabe aristocrats

                  Maybe that has something to do with it.

                  Revolutionaries like Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Ho Chi Minh, Kim Il-Sung, Huey P. Newton, and more are systemically demonized. The founding fathers of the US were revolutionary as far as they liberated the settler bourgeoisie from colonial tethers. Not sure what you are alluding to getting removed, Lemmy.ml is less strict than people pretend it is.

                    There’s a bunch of removed comments in this thread specifically… I have no idea what they said. Would Pol Pot be in that list? If not, why?
