Apparently I’m now a shitlib for not buying into this disgusting tankie propaganda that it was all the Wests fault and Stalin had to ally with Hitler.

For a mod who loves to ban others for bad jacketing, they sure have no problem doing it to other anarchists.

The Ban:

    Sorry but this is PTB. Criticizing Stalin and the USSR doesn’t make one a liberal. Wtf.

      Repeating the same tired attacks on Soviet history is definitely one of the first go tos in the liberal debate playbook on anti communism.

      Just for context, won’t really engage further with this: I take 0 issue with people criticizing Stalin, the USSR etc. I’m not a Stalinist, ML nor MLM.

      It was only for that specific insulting comment and claiming the USSR outright allied with fascist Germany. Literally every day that kept Germany from fully carrying out Generalplan Ost and Operation Barbarossa in general saved countless lives and allowed for proper industrialisation, later allowing a war effort at all.

      I do not have any interest in engaging with people using that tone and straying from proper discussion (again, 0 problems with people trying to discuss things even if erroneous) and do not want them part of the com, it’s as shrimple as that.

      I took no issue with OP of that specific thread.

            The fact that you would post this and think it seems like a reasonable thing to say is really something.

            Just want you to know how fucking weird you look outside of whatever bubble thinks this behavior is normal. It’s actually funny how far a powerless person will take their small taste of power and just show every piece of their ass.

            I love it, you are a motley fool with admin tools.

            So it’s okay to ban someone arbitrarily because you deem it a “shitlib take”? Yikes.
