Is this some kind of layered irony? The fuck is he trying to say here?

This was a line actually parroted by some 'loyal Communists' during the Stalinist era who were, themselves, thrown into GULAG. That they must've done something to deserve it, or, otherwise, that their case was a mistake (such mistakes happen, comrade, no big deal!), but everyone else in GULAG deserved it for being reactionary dogs who went against The Party.
Monarchists in every society are hard to stamp out, it would seem - they just regard different finery and titles to be worth kneeling before. "If only the Tsar knew, if only the Great Leader knew!"

Wild. I don’t know bad empanada’s views on many things but if this is a serious statement he’s fucking deranged. It’s just hard for me to fathom that someone could actually say this unironically.

The context of the statements gets shown better in The Death of Stalin.
When you can get purged at any time by the state, you say things like this because prison time can quickly turn into a death sentence if you say the wrong thing

Arriving at that conclusion means they must have considered a possibility where Great Leader might be wrong. Verdict: guilty as hell.
