“I’m almost surprised you’re not antisemitic Elias,” a chat member once wrote. “It usually goes hand and hand [sic] with the whole Stalin did nothing wrong mantra,” alluding to Rodriguez’s support for old school communism.

“One of the biggest things that stalin [sic] didn’t do wrong was ending the most antisemitic regime ever yet known 2 man,” Rodriguez responded.

Still, when it came to race, Rodriquez’s hatred seemed reserved for white people.

“Lol you probably would have to actually genocide white people to make this a normal country,” Rodriguez wrote in one post. “Like even a very targeted and selective rehabilitation program would probably have to lead to the lifetime imprisonments of tens of millions of white people.”

In all his rage though, Rodriguez had an almost wide-eyed optimism about the global south, which as a self-identified Maoist Third Worldist, he believed alone had “revolutionary potential.”

    That is never going to be feasible in the first place. Lifetime imprisonment for 10-90 million people? Think of the logistics, think of the resources needed to make that happen. Like one prison riot and your revolution is over.

      China is doing it to the Uyghurs in Xinjiang right now. 500 million people in prison. Putting the ethics aside, I’ve found it a pretty huge inspiration for my Factorio playthrough to try to replicate the logistical achievement.
