One day, when luxury gay space communism tm is won, sure we don’t hang the fascists for display, they’ll be suppressed or non-existent I imagine. But we ain’t there yet, hang the fuckers and send the message, ensure that particular evil incarnate cannot rise to power again.

he wasn’t hanged, they just set him right side up. it fixed all his problems, bless his heart.
