  • Of course, I don’t feel comfortable actively dissuading the students from going (they get enough pressure from parents and other staff at the school), but sometimes I wonder if I should.

    It might be worth just mentioning about your perspective on the racism issue, but you're right to avoid adding pressure.

  • I'd be more worried about the savvy propagandists. Idiots in that thread can't even comprehend the perspectives your students would have from actually living in the PRC, so there will most likely just be a communication breakdown.

    Is this a transliteration of "wumao"?

  • A lot of the xinnie the pooh edits are racial caricature, ironically enough (skin tone)

  • BuGiJu was doing a great job of contributing constructively from what I remember. Absolute bullshit on the mods' part. StalinsMoustache was correct but a bit low-effort and antagonistic, so it was to be expected (though I obviously don't support it).

    At least it was only two days for the former, but still bullshit

  • Do as you will, I just suggest not conflating the two in the future. I think if anything communicating a passionate disdain for people like Beehaw's lying admins (along with Democrats, Republicans, Blairites, etc) would be a positive for new user interest.

  • How is that hate speech? Saying you hate an admin team is not hate speech

  • You're the dipshit if you think that WW2 was the first time the USSR was invaded. Are you not familiar with the incredible number of capitalist countries that invaded during the Russian Civil War in order to reverse the revolution? I don't think it's particularly relevant to the famine, but assuming she meant WW2 is ridiculous.

  • A lot of sources are for more general historic claims and some that aren't are likely a circular citation. In any case, if you want to pretend to be a communist, it's basic decency to not throw a list of accusations at someone that includes obvious anticommunist bullshit like the Black Book.

    Anarchists uncritically quoting wikipedia -- which is infamous for its anticommunist historical revisionism -- is a funny bit

  • Ethnic cleansing is when you kill military officers, no I'm not just trying to twist things into "genocide" to score cheap political points

  • This is myopic. Stalin invaded Poland because it refused to cooperate with the Soviet Union against Nazi Germany. The Nazis and USSR weren't just raiding North Africa cooperatively, it was a geographical necessity to the Soviets attacking Nazi Germany that they be able to have their military on Germany's border!

    How the hell are the Soviets supposed to attack Nazi Germany if Poland says the Soviets aren't welcome on its land?

  • Stalin was warned multiple times that Germany was preparing to backstab him but rejected the warnings as he thought they were so allies

    He underestimated how quickly Germany would attack and that was a massive fuck-up that resulted in a huge amount of death from the ensuing genocide by the Nazis, but that's not because he thought Germany and the Soviet Union were "allies".

    He was even willing to put that aside because they both had authoritarianism in common.

    This is such an insipid statement. "Authoritarianism" isn't an ideology, it is a methodology. What, are you saying that they had common cause against the wholesome democratic west that rejected Stalin's requests to form an anti-fascist alliance and crush Nazi Germany?

  • This is so stupid and you provide part of your own refutation. Molotov-Ribbentrop was not an "alliance", it was a non-aggression pact and an agreement limiting the amount of Poland that the Nazis could invade. Where the Nazis invaded Poland, they committed genocide. Where the Soviets invaded (since Poland refused their earlier offers to ally against Germany), they evacuated the Jewish population from the front lines of the inevitable invasion.

  • Reading through this thread, a lot of the Beehaw users are crass anticommunists who hardly even tolerate anarchists. Considering the understanding you came to with CommunistLady about the equivocation you make here being kind of gross, I'd like to gently submit the suggestion that you check out Hexbear.net, since it's a communist site that puts heavy emphasis on trans-inclusivity and has an anarchist comm (and rules for the MLs about treating the anarchists with respect).

  • What about misinformation? I see a lot of blatant myths being pushed in this thread alongside the more generic accusations (and, rarely, credible ones). I don't think such a thing is useful.

  • As I have mentioned to a Trotskyist and an anarchist in this thread, you aren't going to make it far trying to be "One of the Good Communists". You are siding with liberal anticommunists. You have four options: Leave; become a liberal; have the liberals turn on you; or realize that you might have picked the wrong side in this conflict.
