Fair enough, but I think that goes both ways. You usually make a claim, then when pressed act vague about it. I admire your work on the Piracy communities and your FOSS development quite a bit, but I don't think you act honestly when it comes to political conversations, such as jumping to labeling Marxists "fascist" without elaborating.

Not bro

It's the Marxist communities that challenge the echo chamber.

And by so doing become echo chambers of their critiques. Anywhere on the internet that is saturated with those who think alike is an echo chamber.

As a side note, did you read Blackshirts and Reds?

I read a bit. I haven't really been able to get through it cuz i have exams coming up. So i should get to it when those are over.

Don't know what you're saying about Dessalines.

As for "echo chambers," they don't exist devoid of context. An "echo chamber" mirroring the positions of the status quo upholds it, while one going against the grain disrupts the status quo. They aren't equally "echo-y."

Good on you for starting Blackshirts and Reds, good luck on your exams!

I'm saying bro is not all that.

They may not be equally echoey but they're still quite echoey and often deafeningly so.

good luck on your exams!

Thanks!

What kind of diversity of thought are you looking for?

Could you give an example?

Is there an intellectually honest point of view that Donald Trump isn’t a fascist?

[email protected]

I don't think he's a fascist necessarily, although he is a far-right, authoritarian ultranationalist. So that makes him... oh.

Yes yes we know the lies told about it. Again, people can go and read on their own about the slaughter of anarchists that happened there.

I didn't call Marxists fascists. I called Lenin's and Stalin's regime red fash.

And I don't act vague, I just don't have the patience to reopen 100 old debates

"Lies?" It's on Wikipedia, lol. As for Marxism, I genuinely don't know what mythical form of Marxism you think is "real" Marxism in your eyes, again, read Blackshirts and Reds.

Links to Wikipedia Wikipedia talks about an anarcho syndicalist. Whatever man

[email protected]

An "anarcho-syndicalist" that a year prior tried to join the White Army, and a year after did join the White Army. Some "anarchist."

Is db0 left wing? I felt like they lean closer to .world than left.

[email protected]

And that supports your argument how exactly? Oh no! Humans are flawed and can make weird decisions afternoon massive trauma? Not to be mention 1 man is not sailors. Quickly grasp at the end first excuse to validate your slaughter. As red Emma said at the time, "Trotsky protests too much...."

To anyone still reading, this sort of truth stretching to defend the indefensible is why I don't trust campists

You're defending a Tsarist that tried to deliberately sabotage the Soviets during a bloody Civil War, and later joined the Tsarist army as a means to kill more Soviets, as "weird decisions after massive trauma?" Won't anyone think of the poor, poor Tsarists, woe are they...

To mirror you: To anyone still reading, this sort of truth stretching to defend the indefensible is why I don’t trust campists

Keep peotesting too much as well. No anarchists believes this garbage but we remember...

[email protected]

They claim to be anarchist and I've seen a lot of users from there criticize Democrats, although they hate Marxists also, so I'm not sure

> Let's imagine China arming and supporting Mexico's opposition parties that align with China.

if that happend I'd support mexico in it's efforts to ally itself with china (if that's what the mexican people want)

> U.S would go into a fit and invade Mexico instantly. Same has been happening in Ukraine for a decade before the war started.

you're just proving my point here, Russia is just as bad as the US

> You need to also take in account that Russia has been invaded countless times from western powers.

russia in it's current form hasn't been invaded, except if you count ukraine, but russia invaded ukraine first

> Russia's geography is also mostly flat plains, making it easy to invade Moscow from the west. Historical context need to be taken to account.

so I can shoot someone because they have an advantage and COULD hurt me?

> So, what you're actually saying you'd rather live under capitalism because it's not impacting your freedom

that's wrong, I belive that I have more freedom in (unregulated) capitalism that's not state backed, than in a one party system without democratic principles

> and you don't care about others.

that's not true, I want others to be as free as I am

> Meanwhile, claiming that western Germany was economically stronger than the USSR is another example of you being divorced from reality.

you're literally making this up, I sayed that western germany was ALMOST as economicaly strong as the entire ussr, which is true

> It's the same sort of logic people applied to modern Russia comparing its GDP to Italy. Now, it turns out Russian industrial production is higher than all of the west combined.

first source I found: https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Russia/United-States/Industry

this says something completely different

> This is how capitalism rots people brains, they start thinking imaginary numbers are more important than material reality.

so at first: you were wrong, but you also were double wrong, because even if russia did produce more than the US there's still the question of what to be made and for whom, russia probably produces more war assets rn, and that isn't necessarily a good thing, since they now can produce less of stuff the people actually need (that statement itself wouldn't be true if the russian economy was growing and they were exporting their war assets, but the opposite is the case, they produce the war assets to burn them on the battlefield and their economy also isn't looking good)
