Remove if against rules but need to be brought up. Admin of db0 seems to think everyone to the left of the db0 instance is out to kill/murder them. Then for some reason does more massive rants against cowbee.
Idk if should be in different comm but with this and their support of angry quoka user getting worrying
If we could just have on their banner that clearly saying that “the Red Army soldiers should have surrendered to the Nazis, and the fact that they didn’t means the ones who were executed in captivity for being Slavs (or Jews, etc.) weren’t victims of a genocide,” is considered by the admins to be acceptable Discourse that we would oppose merely on a sectarian basis, I feel like it would deflate most of the popular support for db0’s shit takes.
They’ve made being a “tankie” in some cases synonymous with being correct, seemingly only opposing it to be contrarian and even despite the broad agreement from many ideologies that the above statement is the exclusive domain of a subset of fascists.
Bingo. Using anarchism as an excuse to support the most fascist and reactionary takes and actions against the soviets (or any communist group) is anti-anarchist and pro-fascist. Truth doesn’t matter for these people, what matters is whatever narrative is a rhetorically effective club.
That’s not to say that there isn’t legitimate Marxist or anarchist critique against AES states, of course, my point is that it’s clear that a small but extremely vocal portion of users seem to proceed from the goal of discrediting Marxism and use whatever is effective in doing so regardless of validity, rather than a pursuit for correct analysis we can apply to build a better understanding of the past to inform our current practice.
