My favorite take is "Stalin was right wing".
Like how delusional can you get?
"The Khmer Rouge wasn't communist" is another good one.
I mean it wasn't, but tankies sure think it was
Actually, the irony is that a lot of tankies also say that the KM wasn't Marxist, but that Stalinist Russia and Maoist China were.
Quite why, I couldn't tell you.
It’s the human rights abuse and genocide that really light their fire.
They just also happen to be interested in leftist political ideas.
That one is especially funny, but it does expose how meaningless the term is now. Everyone on the left uses "right-wing" as shorthand for "bad," and ditto for the right and left-wing.
