It seems like Redditors toned down their Muslim-bashing a tad back when the Uigurs were in the media spotlight. Now that the Middle East is the top priority again, it is business as usual on Reddit.

I only chuckle when I see somebody say ‘kill all men’. Yeah, good fecking luck with that.

Ragebait; somebody trying too hard to be edgy.

Let me guess… they blamed ‘the Russians’ for this accident.

They always focus on the ‘ten planks’ when they are, without exaggeration, the least important part of the manifesto.

You mean like how the ‘democracies’ invaded Fascist Italy shortly after the March on Rome?

Oh, wait…

Reminder that Berlin and Warsaw signed a nonaggression pact on January 26, 1934.

Many white gentiles will tell you that they oppose Nazism if you ask them, but it quickly becomes apparent just by listening to them that their understanding of the phenomenon is very oversimplified.

fascism is socialism

Was that meant to be ironic or does he seriously believe that Netanyahu is a good politician? I want to say ‘ironic’ given Hinkle’s opinion on Jews, but I honestly can’t tell.

In April 2007, President Yushchenko submitted to the Verkhovna Rada a draft law against Holodomor denial, which, had the law passed, would criminalize denial of the genocidal character of the famine of 1932–1933. […] As there is no consensus whether the famine was an act of genocide, this would, technically, have made a number of senior scholars and academics, including Mark B. Tauger, R. W. Davis, Stephen G. Wheatcroft, Michael Ellman, Lynne Viola, Moshe Lewin, even Robert Conquest—who remains ambivalent on the [famine as genocide]—liable for jail time in Ukraine.

LGBTQ+ lives have only ever improved under LIBERALISM

The psycho-endocrinologist Professor Aron Belkin, a pioneer of Soviet research into transsexualism, even carried out sex-change operations without conducting any psychological testing or employing any other sort of psychological expertise—not because he didn’t want to do it; the country simply had no literate psychologists or approved tests to aid him.

While there is no academic literature on transsexualism in the Soviet Union, there are journalistic accounts of the first sex reassignment surgery in the Soviet Union. It dates back to as 1972 and was performed by the Latvian surgeon Viktor Kalnberz. In published interviews Kalnberz emphasizes that the surgery was performed with substantial medical knowledge.

It was not as groundbreaking as it might appear from the first glance. By that time, the topic was discussed in medical circles. He also confirms that he was familiar with the fact that a similar surgery had taken place in [the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic] and some information about it was available to him.³ Kalnberz’s account suggests that by the time he performed the surgery, a discourse on transsexualism already existed in the Soviet region and CEE. My research supports these claims.

And I have to add that saying that ‘LGBTQ+ lives have only ever improved under LIBERALISM’ while their liberties are in decline and constantly under assault in the imperial core only makes the author look incredibly blockheaded. This is like shouting ‘I’m the greatest lifeguard of all time!’ when everybody can see that you just let several kids drown.

Why is it so hard for liberals to admit that autocrats can become popular, too? Some of history’s most beloved politicians — the Caesars, Napoleon Bonaparte and even Abraham Lincoln — were all dictatorial in some way, yet their popularity persists to the present!

I have no interest in advocating for autocracy, but underestimating the enemy can be the biggest mistake that somebody can make, which is one of the reasons that the Ukrainian army is losing the fight against the Russian Federation. If these dullards want to take their enemies seriously then the first thing that they should do is outgrow their absurdly simplistic ‘LIBERALISM GOOD, EVERYTHING ELSE BAD’ binary.

Neofascists: ‘We are going to be oppressive.’

Neoliberals: ‘Can you maybe try to be just a little bit less oppressive.’

Neofascists: ‘No.’

Neoliberals: ‘Oh, okay I guess.’

Communists: ‘We are going to make life more tolerable.’

Neoliberals: ‘SOMEBODY SEND IN THE ARMY! DEPLOY THE NUKES! SANCTION EVERYTHING! LEAVE NOTHING STANDING! NOW!’

That is strange… of course, I am sure that she does not have his régime’s dealings with the Axis or horrific atrocities against Africans in mind when calling him an awful man. It’s like how conservatives never bash Barack Obama for his régime’s atrocities in the Middle East even though that would actually be a good argument for opposing him.

Now that I think about it… conservatives in general don’t really have that many complaints about the Fascist empires. They have this grossly exaggerated notion that they controlled every aspect of life (especially businesses and guns), they can name one perpetrator of the Shoah, they think that he supported welfare along with secularism (including evolution), they are vaguely familiar with the Third Reich’s disrespect for America, sometimes they’ll gripe about its (somewhat) accessible healthcare along with the presence of abortions, and some of them are gullible enough to believe that the Fascists approved of the LGBT+ community. Oh, and of course there is the Molotov Cocktease Pact, the single most important event in all of history, next to the head of state’s meetings with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem!

Other than those… they don’t seem to care all that much. The violence against Libyans and other Afrasians? Irrelevant. The violence against the LGBT+ community? Unimportant. The dealings with the White Russians? Whatever. Haʻavara? Meh. The unofficial alliance with Finland? Big deal. The annihilation of dozens of millions of Soviets? Who cares. The Third Reich’s colonial inspirations? Snore. The Samudaripen? Couldn’t care less. The dealings with the neutral states? Least concern. Need I go on? They don’t even seem especially interested in the Fascist colonisation of Poland despite being vaguely familiar with it, and something tells me that their understanding of the Shoah is ridiculously basic.

I don’t joke around when it comes to understanding fascism. I even wrote a thread about the Third Reich’s persecution of Jehovah’s Witnesses when, quite frankly, I loathe their attitudes and their religious beliefs, but it had to be made.

Your great aunt probably misses António de Oliveira Salazar.

As the Red Army advanced relentlessly ­toward Berlin, [Axis] propagandists often depicted the Soviet ­enemy as Asiatic invaders or attacking barbarians who resembled the Huns or the Mongols, without any specific mention of the Jewish plot that the [Third Reich] had long insisted lay ­behind them. References to Judeo-­Bolshevik perfidy receded from prominence in the pages of [Axis] newspapers and the proclamations of the weekly newsreels.¹⁰ What remained was the devastating barbarism of a subhuman ­enemy.

The [Axis] had justified the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 by calling it a preventive war that would destroy the Judeo-­Bolshevik system before the ­enemy—­a racial-­ideological composite of Jews, Communists, and subhuman Slavs always labeled Asiatic and un-­European—­could impose a cruel reign of terror on Germany and all of Eu­rope. ­After Sta­lin­grad, Joseph Goebbels had used the idea of Jewish Bolshevik slavery to whip up support for total war.

As the Third Reich collapsed, however, this ideological image of the enemy began to dissolve into discrete parts. To the end, Hitler raged in his bunker against the Jews and belief in an international Jewish conspiracy bent on Germany’s destruction remained a core princi­ple of [his] ideology.¹¹ But when it looked East in the last phase of the war, [Axis] propaganda focused ever more single-­mindedly on the so-­called Asiatic hordes who had come from the “steppes” to rape, pillage, and plunder in the heart of Germany.

See, this is why I try to avoid emphasizing an oppressor’s nationality whenever possible. I don’t want any Germans, Italians, Japanese, Poles, Romanians and so forth reading my content to get the impression that their nationality or ethnicity was somehow the problem and thereby needlessly make them feel uncomfortable. Unless it would cause confusion, I replace mention of an oppressor’s nationality with ‘Fascist’, ‘Imperialist’, ‘Axis’, ‘collaborator’, ‘Herzlian’, ‘anticommunist’… I prefer to remind readers that those are the problem, not their national or ethnic origin.

I also (usually) disapprove of dehumanizing anybody, but that is another rant for another day.

There were some Jews in the early Soviet Union who harmonized Judaism with scientific socialism, and the folk who run the Minyan have affectionately described communism as ‘Jewish’, though my own familiarity with Jewish scripture, traditions and ancient history is too meager to explain why. Perhaps @AYJANIBRAHIMOV@lemmygrad.ml can elaborate if he feels comfortable doing so, but I do know this:

In their propaganda the stridently secular early Jewish labor leaders used religious imagery to inspire the workers—passages from the Prophets on social justice, references to modern day Pharoahs and to the Israelites’ liberation from Egyptian slavery.

Now, since historically organized religions have frequently worked on behalf of oppressors, I unfortunately cannot blame the Bolsheviki too much for cracking down on them (which undoubtedly resulted in some collateral damage); this is largely why so many religious establishments loathe communism. Even today there are more than a few communists and other socialists who are antitheists, but I think that that is the wrong attitude to have, since religion (including organized religion) does not need to be reactionary. I would much prefer that organised religions be transformed rather than destroyed.

I hope that this response helps you. Perhaps you know a few Catholics who cherish Judaism and would be curious to learn how it is compatible with communism.
