Until Stalinism disappears, stating you are pro-democratic as a socialist is basically required. Like, idk why that’s so hard. The term socialism, especially in the US, had been poisoned to mean anti-democratic pro-state, so we basically have to state we are pro-democratic at this point. Sorry that bothers you so much.
Also it bothers me that I have to say this, but:
Stalin was bad.
Stalinism is bad
I, as a queer Jew, inherently do not trust you if you like Stalin or find his ideas good.
1. Socialism is pro-state. We want a workers’ state. This is not antithetical to wanting democracy. 2. Stalin was a good man, unsurpassed by anyone before or since. 3. “Stalinism” doesn’t exist. There’s no specific set of beliefs with that name. 4. I don’t need your trust, or anything from you really. You should ask why I should trust you if you’re opposed to socialism, if you believe the socialist movement results in atrocities or failure when put into practice, or if you believe the stupid prejudices of people living in the heart of imperialism are actually true.
Holy shit I went through their blog, they’re a Stalinist TERF I am going to piss myself laughing.
