Yes. Further, genocide isn’t simply killing people, war isn’t necessarily genocide even if it results in millions of deaths.

What genocides did Lenin commit? How was he a “dictator?” Do you have any idea what you’re talking about, or are you just saying things like this to avoid needing to have an actual point?

PieFed is mainly developed by someone that hates communists to the point of regurgitating far-right conspiracy theories baked in racism. There aren’t really any communist shills for PieFed that I’ve seen. Communists aren’t a monolith, but PieFed has its social credit score system because it’s run by right-wingers.

I don’t wear glasses, actually.

Communists absolutely defend Jewish peoples, Zionism is anti-semitic, especially anti-Yiddish. We also don’t “simp for authoritarian regimes,” we support socialist systems where the working classes hold the authority in society, rather than capitalists. None of this is “simping,” I support worker-run structures because it’s more equitable and democratic.

Yep, I agree.

Lemmy.ml, Hexbear.net, and Lemmygrad.ml are all extremely anti-Zionist. Further, dbzer0 defederated from Lemmygrad.ml, and is only federated with Lemmy.ml and Hexbear.net. What are you trying to say?

The communists spent the decade prior to World War II trying to form an anti-Nazi coalition force, such as the Anglo-French-Soviet Alliance which was pitched by the communists and rejected by the British and French. The communists hated the Nazis from the beginning, as the Nazi party rose to prominence by killing communists and labor organizers, cemented bourgeois rule, and was violently racist and imperialist, while the communists opposed all of that.

When the many talks of alliances with the west all fell short, the Soviets reluctantly agreed to sign a non-agression pact, in order to delay the coming war that everyone knew was happening soon. Throughout the last decade, Britain, France, and other western countries had formed pacts with Nazi Germany, such as the Four-Power Pact, the German-French-Non-Agression Pact, and more. Molotov-Ribbentrop was unique among the non-agression pacts with Nazi Germany in that it was right on the eve of war, and was the first between the USSR and Nazi Germany. It was a last resort, when the west was content from the beginning with working alongside Hitler.

Harry Truman, in 1941 in front of the Senate, stated:

If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia, and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don’t want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances.

Not only that, but it was the Soviet Union that was responsible for 4/5ths of total Nazi deaths, and winning the war against the Nazis. The Soviet Union did not agree to invade Poland with the Nazis, it was about spheres of influence and red lines the Nazis should not cross in Poland. When the USSR went into Poland, it stayed mostly to areas Poland had invaded and annexed a few decades prior. Should the Soviets have let Poland get entirely taken over by the Nazis, standing idle? The West made it clear that they were never going to help anyone against the Nazis until it was their turn to be targeted.

The communists were responsible for 80% of the total Nazi casualties. The communists beat the Nazis.

Thanks! What’s funny is I’ve seen these “edit responses” before, people don’t expect to be questioned on statements they make about others by the people in question, I suppose.

Can you elaborate on how I’m doing “ragebait” or posting “communicatuon destroying comments and got’chas?” I oppose Zionism, I think that’s fairly clear.

Response to your edit: I have always done my best to communicate reasonably. What I find happening frequently is when the rare person claims I am being dishonest or not genuine, upon confrontation they simply ignore what I have to say, or answer in a snide half-response like this one.

Response to yet another edit:

Notice how the criticisms are based on a fundamental lie: that feddit.org is a zionist instance. Without that lie all of the agitators “arguments” crumble to the sad leftist-dividing dust that they are.

Feddit.org harbors Zionism at the admin-level. The criticisms are indeed based on the idea that Feddit.org is a Zionist bar, and simply calling that a lie doesn’t debunk that.

Calling for death to nations (and their civilians) is a call for genocide. I hope non-extremists can see that.

Also, as a tip: don’t answer the trolls and agitators. Leave them hanging, screaming into the wind.

Equating the state of Israel and its right to exist with preventing genocide of Israelis is Zionism. Calling us trolls, and saying we are doing “ragebait” and “got’chas” while you quite literally are doing that right here and now is peak hypocricy.

You’re on an instance that is defederated from Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml, though, both fairly popular instances. Why not move to Lemmy.zip, if you oppose defederation?

Can you explain “cult-like behavior?”

Liberalism is supportive of capitalism, leftism begins at anti-capitalism. What did you think the left was before Lemmy?

For clarity, stethoscope theory is bullshit based on vibes. Communists support collectivizing production and distribution, and support states where the working classes are in charge, including their right to build up defensive mechanisms to protect the gains of socialism. This is entirely incompatible with the right-wing, who seek to maintain the dominion of capitalism.

This is just linguistic gymnastics, though. Hamas, and the broader Palestinian resistance, is the resistance to genocide. There isn’t another, and better groups like the PFLP all work with Hamas, because they are fighting genocide and extermination.

Resistance to genocide is the correct position to take.

What’s wrong with the term “leftist organization?” Educate, agitate, organize is the common saying, organizing is the fundamental task of leftists.

Why do you tankies always lie

For full clarity, it was the “tankies” reporting on PieFed’s social credit score system, Deceptichum is attacking the “tankie” position. The comment you linked is from a “tankie.” In fact, it was because the communists started talking about PieFed’s social engineering that this drama even kicked off.

Why not go to an even broader instance like Lemmy.zip?

How can it be a triad if there are 4 🤓
