Like the kind that made you stop and think for a second about how stupid the person advocating it is. For me, it’s the classic “The biggest mistake in recent history was the Allies not pushing into Russia after the fall of Berlin.”
There’s just a level of imperialist arrogance and blood thirst in there that makes my skin crawl. The worst thing in human history was that the US didn’t immediately betray the Soviets and wipe them out until they were sure communism was done for.
i do not know if this counts, but i have seen wild hottakes related to communism mentioned by you all, so might as well.
one time, an in-law talked with my dad, as i have mentioned to them that i have studied a bit of marxism and feminism in literature theory class.
the reactions were funny. they said “oh my god are you brainwashed? marxism is satanic! i forgot why and i can’t show a video about it, but it’s satanic and evil” (they like jordan peterson which explains it all.) while my dad said “karl marx is german so he made nazism”.
my dad’s claim is especially funny as he lived during the communist era of my country.
i hear a ton of stupid stuff from my relatives, but this is my favorite
