    Parenti’s quote, the one about how bourgeois media turns anything about communism into a negative, is definitely applicable to Wikipedia articles too.

    I’ve read an article which casually claimed that the Soviet Union granting equal rights to women is actually evil, because some women wanted to be homemakers. BuT thE eBiL sOviEts putting women on equal standing meant they were pReSsUred by the tWiSTed SovIet sOcieTY to aim higher.

      It definitely feels like the anti-AES rhetoric has been ramping up over past few decades. Or maybe it’s just me growing older and marxister-leninister and I start to notice more of such bs as a result.

      • I think to some extent anti-communist propaganda has permeated Western society for over a century.

        It’s just that in the past decades they’ve gotten a lot more aggressive about crushing any socialist state, or really just any state that “stands in their way”
