    That was expanded a bit in the second paragraph. It’s also worth it to explore how leftists on other instances have described the situation. That’s actually better than relying on my third party relaying broken telephone summaries.

      Regular prole scrollers won’t get “stalin is good because he’s handsome” even though we might have a taste for edgier humor

      You mean this? That’s exactly the kind of thing I was getting at when I talked about the DPRK. That’s not edgy humor, we think Stalin was good because he and the USSR saved the world from fascism.

      Many of us do also believe he was handsome, but it’s certainly much easier to find someone handsome when you already like them for other reasons.
