First thing after the revolution we should get rid of ugly ass Mount Rushmore

The architect was actually the same for both, and he designed Mt. Rushmore after Stone Mountain. Mt. Rushmore was originally supposed to depict Lewis and Clark, Sacagawea, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and Red Cloud, but this racist mf'er convinced the government to use founding fathers instead

They are attempting to separate the SS from the official Third Reich by distinguishing as a paramilitary force distinct from the Wermacht. This is only true in the most technical superficial sense. In reality, the Wermacht were invading most of Europe while the SS were literally facilitating the holocaust in all occupied territories.

Were Oppenheimer and Einstein socialists?
Einstein yes, but he wasn't actually a member of a socialist party, he just supported it personally and wrote arguments defending it.
Oppenheimer, I think not entirely though he was surely sympathetic at least. His wife, his brother, and his best friend were card-carrying communists, but idk of any evidence that he ever espoused socialism/communism himself, outside of hanging out with communists a lot. He was very much accused of being a communist after the war ended, but pretty much every famous person who wasn't a fascist was targeted by mccarthyist witchhunts and accused of being communist

PSL’s Brian Becker promotes the flawed argument that reinforcing key liberal ideas is a worthwhile compromise
The way he talks about RAWM makes it sound like a damn cult. Pros and cons of it aside, Rainer is just obsessed with it to an unhealthy degree

Congratulations to Argentina, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and Ethiopia ! Isn't that historic ?

It's not about ideology. It's about providing an alternative to the hegemon. Seeing those who are usually imperialist running dogs now beginning to choose the alternative is a win.

He is a radlib . Very far left compared to his peers, but ultimately invested in reforming aka maintaining capitalism with a friendly face

On this 9-11, educate yourself about Salvador Allende and the limits of conciliation

Small correction, he was indeed a Marxist but he was a member of the more moderate Socialist Party, not the Communist Party.
