    The British communists, you mean? The ones that were pissed that the Soviets were violently crushing other communists for daring to object to their oppression? The ones that coined a term for their fellow Brits out of disgust that they were cheering it on?

        Nazi = National Socialist

        This is what British communism was about and what British communists fought so hard to defend

        You’re just being racist because you’re not respecting their culture and material conditions that shaped their unique version of communism /s

      The Brits called themselves communists, but you’ve spoken at length about how calling yourself communist means very little.

      The Brits were morons or useful idiots and, while I hate Khrushchev and view him as a revisionist, it was correct for him to put down the color revolution lead by liberal reactionaries who called themselves communists.
