[Satire] AOC Declares Stalin Was Actually Center-Right

Addressing a crowd earlier this week, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez declared that Joseph Stalin was actually a conservative or at least a center-right kind of guy.

During the internal power struggles in the Communist Party after Lenin's death, Stalin was considered the leader of the centre faction as opposed to Trotsky's Left Opposition.

Stalin was a Russian nationalist despite his Georgian blood. One might add he was reactionary is his artists tastes shutting down all the avant garde art movements.

People with a brain should NEVER post crap from the website “Babylon Bee.” It is nothing but satire and BS and posting it in defense of conservative ideology or to support conservative talking points makes people look as foolish as leftists and the main stream media.

What?

I think the Bee uses satire to illustrate a point.
In this case, they make a mockery of the fact that AOC calls Biden “center right”. Almost anyone who is really center or center right knows Biden isn’t center right.
It is her attempt to shift the “Overton Window” and make radical leftists seem less radical.

What is more, I actually think the Bee is quite funny most of the time.

Hell, the left have been turning SNL into a satire platform against republicans for decades, and not only does it alienate large portions of potential audiences, they really aren’t funny most of the time anymore.

Stalin was a staunch conservative Communist who opposed pornography and rock and roll.

I knew that the same journo-lists who say “conservative Islamic fundamentalists” would eventually get around to describing “conservative Communism”.

You must be real fun at parties.

You are so humor challenged. Are you sure you are not a dem troll?

[super7man]

Demonstrating absurdity, with absurdity.

Stalin, despite his Georgian heritage, was a Russophile, and ordered the Russification of the country. In a way, he saw Russians as “the master race”. Whole ethnic communities were uprooted in desirable areas to be replaced with ethnic Russians.

Excellent satire.

Of course - there are a lot of leftist idiots (but I repeat myself) who believe that Nazism is ‘Right Wing’ - so this parody has a basis in reality.

Of course - modern historians (90% are on the left) - and web sites like Wikipedia - assign the Nazi Party to ..the far right.

Now- these leftists have to ignore the writings of minor Nazi Party officials like Adolph Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, and others that were present in the formation - where their own writings describe the Nazi Party as socialist with a focus on nationalism, while communism is a WRONG interpretation of Marxism and too much emphasis on spreading it world-wide. Of course- why would the left trust someone like Adolph Hitler, after all, what would he know about Nazism.

Given how stupid AOC is I had to look twice to see it was satire. I do not think Stalin or Lenin were russophiles. It just happened to be the country the revolution took hold. Lenin thought it would start in Germany and, had I started and succeeded there, they would not have been germoplhiles. Is that a word? Anyway they were more powerphiles.
