It’s not confusing if you have been paying attention this year.

Depending on what you mean by saving us, I don’t think China will, but they’re not invading random countries, staging coups, droning civilians, etc, so these two countries are not even remotely comparable.

Elixir.

I spent every other evening for a week trying to install fedora.

Skill issue.

It’s okay, Comrade Sharkfucker

You’re thinking of OP (or the original article’s title), the person you’ve been talking to here is someone else

If only the US could have self restraint and foresight!

It’s still transphobic. Less reactionary, sure, but transphobic.

I hear anti-communist nonsense at work sometimes and this is what it feels like. “Commies tried so many times and it always fails!” (literally ignoring coups and regime changes, AES, that capitalism might kill us all, sex trafficking, etc)

bless our boys overseas

No one is arguing for the hypothetical that if you’re somehow linked to a nazi by an infinite number of degrees of separation you’re literally a nazi, as that would make the term nazi, calling people out, and so on, useless. Read it in the only way it makes sense: those with the most power, such as big businesses, platform owners, politicians, and so on, have the responsibility not to platform them, definitely not to fund them, not to normalize them, not to launder their ideas or their acts. And regular people like me or (I assume) you, we still have a responsibility not to tolerate nazis. We have a responsibility to call these people out, to protest, to defend those who are marginalized the most, to organize and stop the worst from happening. Because our politicians sure as hell won’t stop them, and big corporations are already showing their hand.

He’s not simply “against immigration”, he finds Tommy Robinson “heartwarming”. You may not know a whole lot about the far-right, but it doesn’t take a genius to see what he’s doing.

Communists that support Russia have critical support, which means we support some of what they do, such as supporting Cuba during a genocidal blockade, but we still have valid criticisms. You won’t see any of us claim Russia is morally good or some nonsense.

Communists don’t judge countries based on their perceived moral character. Russia, like all countries, acts in the interest of its own ruling class. Right now the interest of their ruling class is aligned with anti-imperialist forces. We understand that imperialism is the primary contradiction, and that as long as we live under a unipolar world order the global majority will only get poorer and more exploited, that climate change will inevitably kill most of us and that those who survive will be tied to the same exploitative forces.

The only reason why some of us come across as “pro-Russia” is because we’re often debunking imperialist propaganda. As long as people are willing to read beyond wikipedia or a genocide-denying newspaper, we’re fine discussing events with a lot more nuance than we get credit for. But it’s a lot easier to pretend we’re crazy Putin-loving tankies, so that’s what you see here.

Everyone to my right that I don’t like is a Nazi.

No, nazis are nazis. If you argue for ethnic cleansing the bare minimum you can expect is some pushback, no one owes your opinions any respect as a baseline.

serves as a positive advertisement for the project because it’s upsetting people that everybody doesn’t like anyway

If people join the far-right to own the left they were already far-right:

DHH wants ethnic cleansing. That’s not a simple opinion, like whether a piece of software is cool or whether some band does good music. It’s fucking ethnic cleansing.

But when will the communism finally happen?

After class struggle is done?

Beat me to it

There’s so much wrong with your comment it’s hard to know where to begin, but definitely read theory.
