      Yeah, about that. You know the problem there?

      Russia.

      Russia suuuucks. They have always invaded, subjugated, and tormented their neighbors, regardless of communism. Couldn’t have picked a worse people to begin the Marxist revolution.

      And yet communism was still the best thing that ever happened to Russia; the closest they ever got to freedom, equality, and frankly civilization in general. Imagine what communism could do for a nation that doesn’t traditionally use rape as a weapon of war.

      Calling Stalin a Marxist is like calling the Nazi party socialists, or North Korea a democracy.

      They can use whatever words they like in their ideology/party/country’s name but it doesn’t mean a thing.
