Hey do you think it’s kind of weird and self aggrandizing that you named the whole website after yourself?

It’s crazy that the absolute lowest mortality rate the empire ever managed was still like double the Soviet Union’s mortality rate during the middle of WW2.

Delusions of grandeur about the people who ended the Holocaust is wild coming from the petty tyrant of a reddit knockoff that they named after themselves.

Being so ideologically rigid that you’d let children starve to avoid “state authoritarian bureaucracy” is not actually something to be proud of, lib

“A type of economic success achieved multiple times under “the tankies” and under literally nobody else would definitely have been achieved under the liberal government that the October revolution overthrew” is too farfetched and historically unfounded to even make a good historical fiction what if novel.

You looked at a chart that outlined improvements in quality of life that included a boom in agricultural output, aka, literally feeding the children and called it

The Marxist equivalent of “but the GDP…”

That is in fact very obviously true. If they hadn’t developed their economy far faster than any other society in history, they couldn’t possibly have produced enough food and war materiel to defeat the Nazis, which I hope we can agree was an extremely important thing for the Soviets to be able to do.

: The revolution that feeds the children gets my support.

You, apparently: fuck those kids

Thats what I get for trying to use ML terms with an ML, I suppose.

Two faced dishonest hypocrite.

Note: this isn’t an ad hominem because I’m not trying to dismiss an idea here, just point out that you’re a contemptible person

Which other genocidal anti-communist, anti-anarchist authors do you suggest have “some good ideas?”

I’m not trying to foster left unity with you, because frankly to consider you an anarchist would be such rank anti-anarchist sectarianism that Hexbear mods would be correct to permaban me. You’re a liberal.

Btw, I think that accusing anarcho-communists of having an ideology that inevitably leads to ecocide is pretty sectarian also (or again, maybe not sectarian. It’s not sectarian for a liberal [you] to be anti-anarchist, just shitty), and you haven’t engaged with this point but you’re posting ziq’s articles and this is one of their states positions so that’s something you need to deal with for yourself.

You called Marxism a religion before my comment, which was about your initial ad hominem comparison to religion, and frankly suggesting that the ideologies that you are opposed to are the ones the US government wants you to oppose is an objective fact.

In constantly calling all your interlocutors cultists, you’re making it pretty hard to see anyone else as the bad faith adhom abusers here

You don’t think perhaps it was the word “utopian,” a word which in the discussion of various different socialist tendencies generally refers to the Utopian Socialists, a group that Marx vocally criticized?

This person’s works also include Burn the Bread Book, an anti-Anarcho-Communist screed in which they advocate for the end of civilization, and return to each person producing all their own food, an idea that is openly ecofascist and would kill billions, first and foremost a large number of disabled and chronically ill people.

I think you should carefully consider where your ideas are coming from.

The USSR was also destroyed by encirclement and (nearly 100 years) of pressure from reactionaries.

But again, you and and the people on the comm you named after yourself are the ones hypocritically positing that any socialist project that fails is evidence that that project’s ideology inevitably leads to capitalist takeover. None of the “tankies” on Hexbear are saying that because it’s asinine, but if you actually believe it, to be ideologically consistent, would require condemning anarchism also.

red fash

Deeply unserious

just a form of ideologically flavored ad hominem?

Ridiculous statement for someone who incessantly calls the most predominant socialist tendency on earth a “religion.”

Edit: also lmao poli sci and economics degree

“Excuse me, the only real socialists are people with professional level liberal ideological education”

anarchism as fascism is?

I think your reading comprehension is poor, or you’re referring to something outside of this thread. This is definitely not allowed in Hexbear.

Horrible line of reasoning. Anarchist projects have all reverted to capitalism much faster than the Soviet Union did.

The way you liberals need to define ideologies the US government taught you to hate as “religions” is pretty interesting to me.

It’s the province. It’s like a state. This is like if you thought the US was genociding Hoosiers but didn’t know what “Indiana” meant and then when called out on it you said

I looked it up, it’s a city in The Hoosier Autonomous Region. Please give me some links on how that’s relevant. I don’t like search engines for this stuff.

It almost doesn’t matter what else you say going forward, you’ve been speaking from ignorance this whole time, which makes all your words seem like they’re in bad faith. We all know what Sartre says about antisemites fascists liberals leftists and words.
