It’s fine if you agree with the message (I do too) but Pol Pot should be here, not Stalin.
Swap Bill Gates and Stalin and this would be accurate.
The Khmer Rouge executed monks, destroyed temples and pagodas, killed people who were discovered praying or expressing religious sentiment and forced Muslims to eat pork and killed them if they refused.
Stalin’s government never did any of this, so why is he here? If anything, Pol Pot should take Stalin’s role in this image.
Simple: Because liberals never heard of, or care enough to learn more, especially about Pol Pot. Their knowledge is limited to only the Global North and couldn’t care less about what non-white people do.
Somebody tell them what MLK and Malcolm X thought of the Soviet Union
If either of them had led a revolution and then assumed leadership of the new revolutionary state they would be just as hated by your average western lib as Stalin. The only difference between a “good” revolutionary and a bad one in the eyes of the western left is whether they fail or succeed.
Failure is practically worshipped as a saintly virtue while successful revolution and seizure of state power is seen as the work of the devil himself.
You cannot tell me that this perennial loserdom cult is not the work of Cointelpro.

fail[get assassinated by the state that will later claim then for a hero] or succeed.
So basically what they’re trying to say is all the good guys are Americans.
Also it is hilarious that anyone thinks Bill Gates is a good guy, literally one of the worst exploiters of the working class of the last 50 years.
It’s also interesting to note that apart from Stalin the other two “baddies” were at one point or another supported and well liked by the imperialists until they turned on them.
So basically what they’re trying to say is all the good guys are Americans.
Interesting observation actually. Goes back to the point made by Yoghthos recently, regarding the complete assimilation expected by the libs
It’s just a typo, they put Bill and Joseph in the wrong columns
They should switch places, gates is a Davos billionaire that actively pushes an eco-fascist agenda of genociding the global South, while buying copious amounts of land in the US and other countries, because, paraphrasing sankara “the one who feeds you controls you”
Bill Gates is effectively a eugenicist, if not ideologically as well.
just swap Bill and Stalin and it’ll be good
Because Pol Pot was installed by the CIA and killed communists. Therefore making him a good (or at least “complicated”) character in the eyes of the people making this junk
