Is it simply over-correcting in response to western anti-communist propaganda? I'd like to think it's simply memeing for memes sake, but it feels too genuine.

Yeah, but toppling one government only to be forced to immediately topple the resulting government just leaves you back at square one and being murdered by MLs really isn't super appealing either.

Westerners always go straight to the murder. Like theres no way you could setup a coalition government or anything else really. Its all or nothing, them or us. Fucken batshit insane.

I would say that's a feature of Marxist-Leninism rather than Westerners.
