They are attempting to separate the SS from the official Third Reich by distinguishing as a paramilitary force distinct from the Wermacht. This is only true in the most technical superficial sense. In reality, the Wermacht were invading most of Europe while the SS were literally facilitating the holocaust in all occupied territories.
It's not about ideology. It's about providing an alternative to the hegemon. Seeing those who are usually imperialist running dogs now beginning to choose the alternative is a win.
Yeah I mean Kitty. To my knowledge, it seems like what did they did include of Kitty (and also Jean) was pretty much accurate, just missing a lot of background details. Kitty was an actual member of the Communist Party but she did eventually leave it, which would be why she wasn't in it at the time of the Manhattan Project and the Oppenheimer hearing. Though, you'll notice when she gets interrogated at the hearing she refuses to give up anything about the Party and turns all of the prosecutor's rhetoric back against him. It reminded me of Paul Robeson's famous testimony to the HUAC. Speaking to her earlier dedication to communism, she had actually tried to go fight in the Spanish Civil War with her previous husband but medical issues kept her from being able to make it. It seems as though his death in the war and the many failures of western communist parties disillusioned her from the cause, and I would assume the rising red scare culture didn't help.
I'm on episode 4 out of 5 and it's pretty good so far. I don't know anything about Last Podcast's political orientation, but I would say this is not explicitly Marxist content like many on Lemmygrad would prefer, but it does seem to be a good objective narration of history and I'm enjoying it
Einstein yes, but he wasn't actually a member of a socialist party, he just supported it personally and wrote arguments defending it.
Oppenheimer, I think not entirely though he was surely sympathetic at least. His wife, his brother, and his best friend were card-carrying communists, but idk of any evidence that he ever espoused socialism/communism himself, outside of hanging out with communists a lot. He was very much accused of being a communist after the war ended, but pretty much every famous person who wasn't a fascist was targeted by mccarthyist witchhunts and accused of being communist
The architect was actually the same for both, and he designed Mt. Rushmore after Stone Mountain. Mt. Rushmore was originally supposed to depict Lewis and Clark, Sacagawea, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and Red Cloud, but this racist mf'er convinced the government to use founding fathers instead
I went to the Center's website that is linked on Wikipedia, and the all the images on there are porn. I can't read Chinese so idk what the text says. What's up with that??
Yeah it's crazy because I was worried they might become full patsoc (just recently they were calling Trump an anti-war candidate lol) but now they're just backing soc dems and saying anyone who disagrees is a purist

The German ambassador to Canada literally participated in a standing ovation to an actual veteran of the Waffen SS
Pro
I mean, that's just Marxism

I have this on a shirt, I love it
Small correction, he was indeed a Marxist but he was a member of the more moderate Socialist Party, not the Communist Party.

The whole guest list is super based tbh, I'm very excited
I saw the movie today. If anyone's wondering, it is pretty good for a Hollywood biopic

I'm terrible at vexillology so idk what most of those flags are, but the one on the green state is literally just a US flag

Edit: I initially misunderstood your point.
It is a new headline about a thing that happened in the US.
Pick one, liberal
