Apparently forbidden perversions only matter to “right wing trolls”.

In answer to the article title: he's a perverted pedophile whose trying to cover his tracks TOO LATE AFTER HE GOT CAUGHT AND EXPOSED. But he'll never admit that.

Hopefully law enforcement has detailed copies of ALL of his deleted tweets and a through investigation is under way ultimately leading to his arrest and prosecution.

Whether the director is a practicing Marxist is beside the point. He uses the tactics of the Stalinists. Destroy all evidence and admit nothink.

Hiding what one thinks in order to avoid losing one's job seems closer to what the victims of Stalinism went through, albeit they could lose far more than their job.

Unless you have reason to think this guy is a mass murderer, it seems to me pretty absurd to compare him to Stalin. I think it most likely that at worst he is an idiot who thinks Stalin wasn't that bad or some nonsense.

Am I missing something? Those tweets are from Riann Wilson. Maybe I didn’t read far enough.

Stalinists aren’t stalin. They are stuck in the mud loyalist to fearless leader never admit a flaw shred the past at every turn. Orwell wrote extensively about these people. It soured him on Socialism when he was fighting Fascism in Spain.

I guess we have a different working definition of Stalinist. Mine only includes the people that ran his tyranny with him. I consider the sympathetic Westerners that covered for him to be self-brainwashed fools.

There are some Westerners who think of any criticism of Islam as "racism". These people I consider ignorant and foolish, but I would hardly call them Muslims.

Who brings about an Orwrellian nightmare then?

Who changes history at every sunrise?

Who shifts allegiances with party leadership when the former “friends” of dear leader become outcasts or simply “disappear”?

Do all racists.supremacists have to belong to the Klan or can some follow Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson?

Are Kruschevites different than Stalinists?
Are we off in the weeds debating the different stripes of Soviet Communists?

That’s ok. That person who did those tweets needs to be exposed, anyway.

No. I would say that Jackson and Sharpton and their fellow travelers are indeed racist, but not Klansman. Just as I would say there are communists who are not Stalinist.

I was not trying to argue that you should adopt my definition of "Stalinist" just trying to clarify that we had a misunderstanding because we seemed to have different working definitions.
