Or just like, read any political theory outside of their extremely narrow bubble. There's a lot of revisionist marxist theory which keeps the core concepts without the Soviet baggage. Anyone who is still out here trying to defend Soviet statecraft is likely more interestes in relitigating the cold war than actual political theory.

Cowbee's schtick is so transparent. He'll write (vibe) long posts like this which make him seem perfectly reasonable, like of course MLs condemn the Soviets for this and that! And then turn around and defend this shit in other threads, and will certainly never correct a fellow ML on these topics under any circumstances.
