    You can be anti capitalist and think Stalin and co are massive cunts.

    (Anarchism, and most types of marxists that aren’t okay with genocide)

      Are there any leaders that would be positively revered by today’s standards? I kinda like Washington, Lincoln, JFK and T. Roosevelt. Churchill, Obama, Ghandi and Carter. Alexander the great?

      They’ve all got their own problems but maybe not irredeemable shitheels

        Churchill

        I’m generally lenient towards historical figures who were born under a time of different moral standards, but Churchill was a piece of shit by the standards of his own time, and only gets a ‘pass’ because he was important in fighting a worse foe - the fucking Nazis.
