An opinionated discussion of all things SFDebris

This is amusing, my question traditional Anti-Soviet somehow proves I must be a Tankie. Even though I've also made clear I actually prefer the Left SRs to even Lenin much less Stalin or Trotsky. To you people either Stalin is Jesus or Stalin is Satan, he can't be somewhere in-between.
It's things like this you say that, for a brief moment, seem reasonable enough to consider, but then come off completely unfounded once thinking about it. Nobody compares Stalin directly to Hitler, and he's much less showcased than Mussolini.MithrandirOlorin wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 1:59 pm either Stalin is Jesus or Stalin is Satan, he can't be somewhere in-between.
So you've never actually interacted an actual Tankie, that's good to know.BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 2:11 pmIt's things like this you say that, for a brief moment, seem reasonable enough to consider, but then come off completely unfounded once thinking about it.

What do you mean "you people"? There are folks from all over the political spectrum in this conversation.MithrandirOlorin wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 1:59 pmThis is amusing, my question traditional Anti-Soviet somehow proves I must be a Tankie.

There’s all sorts of people that will say all sorts of things. You can very well find people praising Hitler, so what’s your point?MithrandirOlorin wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 2:15 pmSo you've never actually interacted an actual Tankie, that's good to know.BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 2:11 pmIt's things like this you say that, for a brief moment, seem reasonable enough to consider, but then come off completely unfounded once thinking about it.

Everyone who isn't him or agreeing with him is "you people". You know, totalitarism. The thing he's quite clearly a fan of.hammerofglass wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 2:46 pmWhat do you mean "you people"?

Has it occured to you, that they may have a point and you have a blind-spot?MithrandirOlorin wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 4:23 pm I've clarified my position on Stalin multiple times already but people "all over the political spectrum" keep insisting on misconstruing it.
No, you don't get to make excuse about simply accusing someone of believing the opposite of what they believe.Madner Kami wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 5:08 pmHas it occured to you, that they may have a point and you have a blind-spot?MithrandirOlorin wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 4:23 pm I've clarified my position on Stalin multiple times already but people "all over the political spectrum" keep insisting on misconstruing it.
