    anarchists arent tankies but Lenin Glazers like the admin irrefutably are.

    Criticizing such a stance as misguided is credible only if accompanied by a comparably critical stance against the even more deadly abuses of US imperialism

    there isn’t a single anti-Assad anarchist that wouldn’t also critique the US. nice try, maybe leave the strawman arguments at the door next time

      The posted comment never mentions Lenin.

      You are being deliberately dishonest.

      Also, you are the one who just now presented not one, but several straw men.

      When did I imply that “there [is] a single anti-Assad anarchist that wouldn’t also critique the US”? Again, you are being dishonest.

        It is on topic, dude. Lenin and tankies are closely related, so are anarchists being tankie glazers.

          It breaks your own rules against derailing threads, and your defense is little more than a word salad of unsubstantiated dogma.

          Anarchists are the strongest critics of authoritarian tendencies of leftism. Anarchists were targets of some of the earliest repression after the October Revolution, and Kropotkin famously fled the Soviet Union as an open and caustic critic of Lenin.

          Anarchists by nature are the strongest critics of any authoritarianism because anarchism entails opposition to all authority.

          Your failure to distinguish between anarchists and authoritarian leftists is ignorant and absurd.

            Anarchists aren’t strong critics at all lol

            You can’t even condemn Hamas, who are authoritian in itself.

              You don’t know or care about historical and actual facts.

              You don’t listen, or argue honestly.

              Of course we criticize Hamas, but we also support their struggle to liberate Palestine from occupation, apartheid, and genocide.

              Again, I cannot help if you are unable to parse the nuance, instead of continuing to perceive a conflict.

                When I asked if you condemn the rape and murder of civilians you told me to get lost lol

                So no, you don’t criticise Hamas. I mean it’s pretty easy to criticise rape, ‘Hey, guys, probably don’t rape that woman to death and then parade her corpse through town while recording it’ – Makes it really hard for Tankies to squirm around muh nuance

          What an absurd defense.

          Once again, you deflect with an accusation that is completely unsubstantiated, an obvious non sequitur.
