Specifically authoritarian communists, to be clear. They aren't fighting for everyone to have what they need, they just want to be leaders of repressed people.

Where is that Parenti quote...

If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

It was from Blackshirts and Reds.

Lmao someone's never actually been there. You basically just described the democrat party

Awwww, someone went as far as making an alt to attack people instead of defend themselves! It's almost as if what I said is true and you can't argue against it, only deflect 🤔

This account is older than my hexbear account so that one is actually the alt. And I go on hexbear, I'm not deflecting lol it's just true. Saying they "just want to be leaders of repressed people" is just laughable when they have things like a mutual aid comm that actually helps people and is probably the most aggressively anti-transphobe instance

How do you argue against an obvious lie? It’s not really worth it.

Rules

  1. Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
  2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
  3. The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.

The usual instance-wide rules also apply.


Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
