    Need @Scratchin_Bandit to psycho-analyze their youths. Stalin, Lenin and those guys mostly grew up in absolute s***. Lenin saw his own brother hanged by the Tsar, then went and got the old Tsar's son killed. That's some anime arc shyt. Stalin got into a bunch of trouble because of some snitch. He escaped from the gulags like 7 times, one time in a washed clothes bin. They had to use extremely secretive and disciplined tactics until the revolution. Doing that for almost 20 years has to leave a mark on your psyche tbh.

    His Iberian buddy Salazar has the most biased Wikipedia article you will read. This is probably the most openly pro-fascist article on Wikipedia and has been this way since 2004. I especially recommend the "evaluations" section.

    These designs are unironically and not in any tongue-in-cheek way fantastic

    I adore the old-school charm but the website has a huge design flaw in that every single page must be added by HTML. They basically run on legacy code and have too many texts and not enough resources to update anything. They are stuck with that website. Every single text you want to add has to be worked into the website separately, they don't have a layout template or anything. That is one reason they barely add new stuff.

    Some of the leftypol fellas tried to make a new website but IDK how many texts they added so far. It's run by this bookcel fella who is a "Wertkritiker" (value form criticist) so I don't have high hopes on his book selection lol

    You might think the value form stuff is just some esoteric argument between Marxoids (true) but the value form criticism dudes are all either on the ultraleft of "no socialism has ever existed" or are close to social democrat reformists. It's funny how you can pretty reliably predict somebody's political leanings depending on how they read the whole value question in Marxism. The answer is open on whether their political leanings led to their specific value interpretation or if their value interpretation formed their political leanings.

    need to work on your sleep schedule tbh, staying up that late is probably killing you lowkey. missing nights of sleep is more unhealthy than getting regularly blackout drunk

    the USSR recognized Israel as a country in the beginning w/ the belief (mainly from Stalin) if they supported it before the west, it would be a Soviet sphere of influence country. However this was mainly a Stalinist-specific belief, as all other Soviet ideological beliefs toward Zionism were overtly negative. Lenin's original conception of Zionism was overtly negative and straight up condemned, so it's not accurate at all to say "Anti-Zionism didn't become a big position on the left until 1967", unless you believe Lenin wasn't a major figure on the "left". Of course, Stalin flipped on Zionism himself once Israel became more EU & US friendly rather than Soviet/Eastern Bloc friendly. If you want to say the "left" under the USSR opportunistically supported Zionism for a small period of time, then that's true, but saying historically any formations of the left were pro-Zionism isn't correct. If you want to talk non-USSR blocs, then the PRC under Mao was neutral until the late 60s-70s when they switched into a more third worldist view of supporting Palestinians, which remained in place until Deng. If your conception of leftists supporting Zionism is because in the early 20th century states such as Cuba supported Jewish independence, there's an asterisk there as the belief in Jewish Independence was believed to be separate from the conception of Zionism; however, original "independence" was not largely seen as a form of oppression by exterior countries up until the Six Day War,which is caused most countries which had prior recognized Israel to dissolve relations. While Cuba technically did not dissolve relations under the Six Day War, they actively sent military assistance to opposition of Israel, including Egypt, so its not like they were supporting them in anything but name at that point.

    Geopolitical opportunism and playing both sides of the fence, with Arabs and Israelis ,much like the Israelis did with the U.S. and USSR
