Aren’t those two pretty close?
I was being tongue and cheek, but I meant someone who hates the Communist regime and think it’s responsible for the great evils in the world.
Because there are people that don’t necessarily deny that bad things happened there, but still hold some of their ideals as something they want repeated.
They are pretty close just different ways of thinking. Both deny everything, but the main difference is one thinks it was perfect utopia were only the "bad" people suffered and everything, and the other thinks history blew things out of the water and all like the Gulags weren't that bad, and Stalin and others didn't kill that "many" jews or ethnic people.
I have no clue what tongue in cheek means. Mean, those people are just either fascist or ultra-capitalist, take your pick. The other term that has been used is "American Dream Capitalist", which were/are people who think American's Capitalist system is the way to go and hasn't been responsible for any evil in the world, and that Communism and anything on the left is just pure evil. This was very popular in the 80s, if you wanted to know the exact time frame.
Those people are called "Soviet Unionist", "Soviet Reclaimers", or "Soviet Empire". They were often seeing the evil things that happened and all but see it as it was for the greater good and all. The entire Russian government minus certain parties are such thing currently, including Putin. They saw the Soviet Union as this glorious thing that could rival or be equal to the Roman/Byzantine Empire, and even those had their dark side to it. So, killing the Jews in this "new "Soviet Union would be justified because several reason and killing of the native ethnic people would be justified as well due to x, y, and z reasoning.
Again, hope this all helps.
