^ i cant find an actual source on this quote btw, the closest thing I can find is the excerpt above but with "James Callahan [sic]" instead of Thatcher in this book (which doesn't cite where they got the quote from)
I mean, I am all for insulting Brezhnev, but the Schwartze Sonne is a bit far.
This is completely unimportant but schwarz is spelled without a "t"
Why are you all for insulting Brezhnev? Petty decent guy IMO
Who's the authoritarianism leftist?
Gonsalo. Pretty controversial, but led a pretty impressive attempt at revolution in Peru where they managed to take over like 70% of the country until the police discovered gonzalo was the only person in Peru who used a specific medicine, so they rummaged people's bins until they found gonzalo's trash and arrested him and squashed the movement.
An embarrassing end to a promising project.
Gonzalo called "promising" on hexbear lmao. What is the world coming to.
the project did include lots of unnecessary excesses, weird decisions that deviated from the will of the masses and eventually alienated themselves from the local communities, so gonzalo is hard to defend as a communist.
But I'd at least give him credit for the effort. despite everything, they did legitimately become a massive threat to capital, which is more than I can say of any current western leftist projects.
until the police discovered gonzalo was the only person in Peru who used a specific medicine, so they rummaged people's bins until they found gonzalo's trash and arrested him and squashed the movement.
Can confirm! It was Psoriasis medicine, specifically.
mods pls
while people were staking political compass positions, mr.stalin was playing snake on it and moving through quadrants according to the conditions and priorities of the time
