Before WW2 broke out, the New York Times LOVED Mussolini. They kept pumping out articles about how much of a cool guy he was.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

Only those pure of heart can see the image.

I can't either.

Then it's not green, and only a distraction.

I think it's called Jumper skirt.

Hahaha yes I love jokes.

Revolutionary Catalonia existed for weeks

More like 2-3 years. Yes, it's still not much, but not mere weeks either. There were also other anarchist territories at the time and they all worked under socialist principles, none of them caused famines, deportations nor genocides; they don't exist anymore because they got betrayed and hunted down by the soviets, which were authoritarian since day 1.

While the Kurdish groups are interesting they exist within a larger state that is taking on several roles of the state

The Syrian state? During a civil war? Like, what roles?

And is it actually the state taking those roles? At the end of the day, all politicians do is sign papers, the world is shaped by the workers. It's workers that build and run hospitals, railways etc. If workers under the Syrian state can make the electricity run, why would the same workers suddenly not be able to anymore "under" the kurds?

I don’t think you have good examples here.

How about the Zapatistas, then? They're around since the 90s and they're independent from the Mexican state.

Is there a r/gatekeepingyuri community on Lemmy?
