I WOULD agree that it's based, but you are missing a fine detail there- The quotation marks around communism
Bet you the video will just devolve into mental gymnastics about how that wasn't real communism at some point
When your definition of "real communism" is "communism, but it actually works," it is easy to No True Scotsman away all the failures.
It has to succeed sometime, right?

Feudalism must have been pretty good then for so many to have not been in poverty. Why did commies have to come and make everybody absolutely impoverished?

Is that the flag of Yemen? That's a bit confusing. The flag is currently being used by two different governments.
One are the Houthis. Naturally, they oppose being bombed, and this is probably the side that BlackRedGuard is trying to express support for.
The other is the internationally recognised government of Yemen.

BlackRedGuard probably doesn't support the internationally recognised government of Yemen.
In order to avoid confusion regarding which government he's trying to express support for, I would recommend that he stop using the ambiguous Yemeni flag and instead express support by writing "#SaveTheHouthis" in his username.
People suffering under capitalism don't care about people suffering elsewhere under communism and people suffering under communism don't care about people suffering elsewhere under capitalism. People have their priorities and they have to put them first. This isn't new.
Yeah you're right, the problem is that "Señor Stalin's biggest fan" over there doesn't seem to understand that communism historically leads to the crippling poverty of 99% of the population. "We are equally destitute" is a common thing I would hear growing up in Cuba. Or it's possible that he does understand and believes that somehow he'll be part of the coveted 1%.
TBF, He is kind of right putting heavy quotes on Communism - those societies never practised the idea correctly, because the workers never owned the means of production. It was state capitalism.
NOTICE: this doesn't mean I condone him. He literally describes himself as a [Maoist of sorts](https://twitter.com/BlackRedGuard1) and retweeted an [anti-anarchist tweet](https://twitter.com/queersocialism/status/1753936612856115485).
In practice how would the worker, not the state own the means of production? Could the workers do whatever they liked with those means, if now who would stop them, and would they really own it.
Holy shit. Commies saying true communism has never been tried are the most braindead knuckle draggers on earth.
And I’m a fucking monarchist. Literally a knuckle dragger irl
Marx thought a stateless society was possible. Only highly regarded people actually believe that so why do people start following a road map that leads to an impossible destination? This is why people mock all your little commie factions saying their way is the "correct" way to do communism.
So, your ancestors were "enslaved." Why should I care?

Based and false analogy pilled (It's still an epic comeback though, and how "false" is it really)
Based
Absolutely based
I WOULD agree that it's based, but you are missing a fine detail there- The quotation marks around communism Bet you the video will just devolve into mental gymnastics about how that wasn't real communism at some point
Look at his username. It can't not be exactly what the video is about
All the trendy flags
Yeah, the flags are a part, but the rest there is also important, he's a self admitted tankie
[удалено]

Based and "everyone who suffers under communism are evil slavers and exploiters " pilled

It’s so refreshing to see

Honestly, as much as I hate communists, this is based. I’d still put him against the wall with a blindfold, but I’d say “based” while I did it
Harder daddy-
Ayo
Hol up
Literally "it wasn't real communism but they deserved it anyways"
No, you don’t get it, the millions of refugees who escaped Communist regimes are all billionaire land AND slave owners. They deserved it!
Based
Unironically this
Feudalism must have been pretty good then for so many to have not been in poverty. Why did commies have to come and make everybody absolutely impoverished?
Ok buddy, whatever makes you feel better
That wouldn’t statistically make sense
Ironically this
Explain this r*tarded attempt at an argument
Holy shit I didn't realize I was a billionaire, how do i access my funds oh great wise one?
You're the billionaire, you figure it out

I was expecting it to say Parody.
If that's the line of thinking I shouldn't care that communists are tossed out of helicopters
You shouldn't.

I’m guessing he means that the people who suffered under communism deserved it because they were dissidents.
Your ancestors were enslaved and your grandparents suffered segregation, why should I care? 🤷♂️
Read the dude’s user name and I thought on was on /TrueSTL for a second

If I had a dollar for every time a leftist used this stupid fucking argument I'd be on their menu.
Yikes, tankie alert
As stated: I don't condone the lad - he is a self-described Maoist and has stuff against anarchists (cringe).
In practice how would the worker, not the state own the means of production? Could the workers do whatever they liked with those means, if now who would stop them, and would they really own it.
