There really isn't anyone who is a stalinist, Stalin had some important theoretical contributions but not enough to have a branch of thought, he followed lenin's ideas pretty much.
McCarthyism was literally targetting communists you'd accuse of being tankies.
I quoted it in case it was removed
Okay McCarthy
those who are too lazy to work
What no understanding of the necessity of the surplus army of labor under capitalism does to a mfer.
I'm guessing the DSA is "tankie" to this person.
Mainstream Jewish holocaust survivors don't like the comparison.

Also Trotsky sure did a lot of anticommunism for a communist who (checks notes) only joined the communists when it was clear which way the wind was blowing in the summer of 1917 and got kicked out of the party and exiled by 80 percent of the party after several years of advocating for the petite bourgeoisie.
The hexbear consensus isn't to support Russia like the commenter above your comment is referring to though, a left wing revolution in Russia would be more than welcome. The humanitarian crisis caused by the undemocratic dissolution of the USSR is still being felt to this day through nationalism playing out in former soviet states.
Okay, so you aren't aware of the USSRs attempts to create an alliance to stop nazi Germany, got it.
That was his whole goal - conquering Poland.
Do you get your political knowledge from the history Channel or from Prager U? Or a little bit of both?
Well soviet civilian casualties were something like 17 million people on their own, and 11 million people were killed in concentration camps, so...
And remember, Stalin helped Hitler start WW2
You do realize that the USSR signed a pact after the British and French rebuffed them and had already signed appeasement pacts with Germany right? (Including allowing them to size czech territory, which gave Germany much needed personnel, industry, and a fleet of really good early war tanks) And after they invaded Poland they dedicated resources to moving minorities out of the way of a nazi invasion they knew would come?
It’s not like the USSR gets a pass like countries like France do.
France literally signed pacts with nazis and did even worse appeasement than the Soviets did.
I would love to help
