Stalin is dead but his methods... - Break the Fake - TVP World



Some Stalinist ideals involved the desire for young people to promote the "ideas and practice of socialist origin" in the vein of Joseph Stalin himself. You know, the very same guy who brought us such awful hits like mass purges, forced labor camps and an all-around atmosphere of terror. It’s like these kids looked back at history and thought “yeah, this is the role model we’ve been missing!”

How do you know someone's a fascist?
When a leader continues on with propaganda and bold face lies even after being called out.
When their biggest response to losing power is sending the dog whistle to call on all extremist and doing it with an angry tone.

And yes, they are always very weird - and always in an uncool way!
