    Well at least people got educated on left side extremism. I think it puts things in the broader perspective and maybe even someone decided to research these topics some more.

    It makes you wonder about communism as a whole. Does it always lead to totalitarianism? Etc

    It’s healthy to see all the nut jobs from time to time and reflect on your own steps.
    If your views align with the nut jobs for example that makes you wonder hmm something is wrong.

      Tankies are totalitarian right winners cosplaying as left wingers. Communism hasn’t been in power in Russia since Gorbachev. It’s been nationalists since then. They swung. They swung hard. They kept the totalitarianism and got rid of the leftness. I’d have made largely the opposite choice.
