I can understand why some people support socialism. I would also like to have subsidised health care and the Green New Deal. I also would like to see people’s student loans forgiven after they’ve opened up a nonprofit in a marginalised underwater community for five years. It’s unpopular, but call me radical.
But I’ve been talking to some tankies on lemmygrad. Did you know that they support Yoseph Vissarionovichich Stalin?!?!?
Stalin was born outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Immediately after becoming a man, he turned to crime. In 1901, he and his criminal friends attacked a prison, showing no respect for law and order. They also murdered an innocent Czarist agent trying to infiltrate the Social Democrats. After arresting Stalin, he was so bad that the Czarist authorities sent him to gulag (which hadn’t been invented yet) in Siberia.
In 1907, Stalin organised a bank heist with took 250,000 rubles. THis was the Czar’s money and they had to right to steal it.
To top it all off, once the Red Army turned back the Germans at the Battle of Stalingrad, one of the first places to be liberated was CRIMEa. I rest my case.
