    It’s always funny to me when individual actors like (supposedly) Luigi get lionized by liberals, but when workers organize and collectively establish state power to oppress capitalists and fascists, these same liberals cry foul. To them, it’s somehow a sin to succeed.

      No but you see, Lenin and Fidel Castro only took power because they were very smart authoritarians. Why did the military support them, you say? Well, obviously because claiming “I’m the president now” gives you total control over the institutions, that’s how authoritarianism works!! /s
